Very nice idea! I am looking forward to making these for my wife's book club members - they'd love it! And we're all at the age where we need to wear reading glasses so that little nook is perfect 🙂
One thing I look for when subscribing is after I watch the video then get asked to subscribe, yes very nice project, thank you for your content! God bless you
I wish I could share. I made that same project, but added a bit more pizzazz to it. If only I could shoot you a picture. It would be nice to have someone who could appreciate what I made.
Such a simple idea helped my nephew Make one for his girlfriend a couple of years ago and she loved it. Just wished I had a laser to personalize them. That’s a great touch.
I've only been at it a little over a year, and jumping around a lot, so the subs have been hit and miss. This is the type of content that I've been wanting to focus on, and I felt like this video would do well, but it's taken off more than I thought it would. Don't worry, after the success of this type of video, and considering it's the type of content that I'd rather be making, I'll be making many more in this area. My subs have jumped over 1,600 since posting this video, so it's obvious that this is the type of content I should be focusing on. Appreciate the support!
Probably the best and easiest of life hacks I’ve ever seen. Simple but extremely useful. Thanks for sharing this, I’m going out to get some nice hardwood now and there’s no prize for guessing what my friends will be getting for their birthday gifts. Brilliant.
Hey man, first time coming across your channel. I've never seen one of these but I liked it immediately, and thought "gee, I could use one of those". I've only just discovered woodworking and I really appreciate guys like you who take the time to walk through how it's made. This is a great project that is right at my speed. Definitely gunna try to make one this weekend man. Thanks again!
I'm so glad I found ur channel in the last couple of years. I have been doing crafts from simple key chains to woodworking or carving. Love that u explain how u made it. Can't wait to c other video's! Happy new year & thanks for sharing. Stay well!!
I made some for. Christmas for family. My problem is 1) no planer 2) no table saw-I used a miter saw 3) I used pallet wood which was very uneven. I made them work and I actually use mine a lot. I made a jig to cut angles on miter saw but next time I would go with hardwood. Thanks for sharing
Hi, these are great products we make them in the UK and they sell really well. We make four different designs and own the design rights to sell and make them UK only. We make these and other products through Oakinc.❤
What a cool little project. Hoping to get more home based part time work by expanding my wood projects (cutting out some of the firewood, shoulders won't last forever) and being home more often so we can travel too. Thanks, Bruce
I've seen several different woodworkers use a similar gig and clamping the pieces to have that 22.5° angle cut on the ends of them like that. So, if it's a 'bad idea', you're in good company at least.
Yup, several people have offered little suggestions like that. I'm going to make a followup video with some upgrades that can easily be added, such as that, a drawer that can be added, and a pencil/pen holder.
I've come across this video but passed it up a couple of times. I finally watched it and I am so glad I did. First off, I subscribed. Secondly, your explanation is excellent and you providing measurements and walking through, step by step how you make this is also a bonus. Yes it's simple but the most simple things can be the nicest and most profitable. I like the pricing structure and the free engraving. I have an X-Tool pro 40 w so that will make quick work of the engraving. Thanks again and good luck with your channel!!
@SothpawDesigns I love this design and project. On a side note... I leave the paper on the acrylic for the v10 when it comes off the laser so it doesn't get scratched while being shipped to Daniel or while being shipped to you. You can remove it and it will allow you a little view of the bit or really a lot of swirling chips/dust. #PwnCNC #imakestuffwithrobots
I really like this idea. I just bought a CNC and it's still not put together yet. The 40W laser was backordered and should be here in a week or so. Once I learn and get good at it, I'd like to make one of these for my daughter. I imagine people putting these on their night stand. So, the only thing I might do different is instead of the round part being for a coffee cup, I might put a flat/round phone cordless phone charger there. I know I sleep next to my phone and use it as a back up alarm incase the electricity goes out. Thanks for the video and great idea.
Thanks for another great video. Now that Christmas is over could you do a video on what to make and sell now? Also, we are practically neighbors. Im in Jeffersonville, IN lol
You're not the first one to mention that. I teach high school and some of my sales came from a few English teachers (go figure), and they mentioned that exact thing. This weekend, I'm going to be launching a new video with some upgrades that several viewers have mentioned, that being one of them.
I havent made any of those yet, but I have a few friends that sent me pics of them, with the comment I WANT ONE!!. So I guess I am going to be making a few. Thanks for the tip on the jig for gluing. I already have a jig for the angles from another project I did. Also I just sub to your channel. 🙂
Great video! Further customization ideas for those without CNC would be to round the corners of the coaster end, easy enough if you have a sanding disc, and to create a routing template to use a handheld router to create a shallow recess for the mug. I wish i had time to run a batch of these, but it'll have to wait until my walk-in closet project is done...in 10 years or so, based on time spent. ;-)
Or you could be like me and start multiple new projects daily before the already started ones aren’t finished…. I give free lessons 😒 So many things to do and so little time !
Awesome project here and I can see the sales potential as well. My only problem is I don't own a laser engraver tool. I just have the bare minimum when it comes to tools and workspace.
There are other options such as paint, decals, Cricuts, etc. And you can get a starter laser for $100 or so. Just thoughts if you'd like to give it a shot. That''d pay for itself quickly.
Nice project that I want to try attempting - I don't have CNC but have basic woodworking tools. To recap the base is 12" x 4" and the tall pieces are 7" x 5.25" . Am I right or missing something? Thanks in advance.
That’s pretty much it. Cut the angles properly, and if there is any overhang on the sides, you can leave it, or sand, or use a small plane to smooth it off. The CNC/laser is nice for advanced shapes or engraving, but not necessary

I always wait to watch your next videos, great, thanks
A nice, clean, concise and well presented video, zero fluff, no overbearing music, no unnecessary filler content..
👌
Oh, and the project is cool too
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate it.
@genelomas332 the idea is to have an item to sell
I just made 3 of these in a simpler version! No cup holder just the 3 sided stand. My daughter and 2 grandkids loved them.
They're so simple. I never thought I'd like doing this so much.
Very nice idea! I am looking forward to making these for my wife's book club members - they'd love it! And we're all at the age where we need to wear reading glasses so that little nook is perfect 🙂
Wonderful!
Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend......Inside a dog, it's too dark to read. Samuel Clemens.
BAHAHAA!!
One of my favorites quotes!
😂😂😂
I read this quote in a Groucho Marx book.
You should bet one of those little, battery-operated reading lights.

dlaymonky@gmail.com I'll share it out
An added addition would be to mill out a small pocket for the cup to sit into which would make it more secure.
This is such a unique and fantastic gift for those who still love turning pages in a book. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! This wasn't my original idea, but I did put my own spin on it. Thanks for watching.
I can already see me over-engineering this darn thing and making it harder than it needs to be. Perfect Imperfections... That's me!
Such a simple idea helped my nephew Make one for his girlfriend a couple of years ago and she loved it. Just wished I had a laser to personalize them. That’s a great touch.
Thank you!

Outstanding idea. I make the basic triangle but this is my new project, Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Lol, I just send this video to my husband's phone!
Love it!!
My first watch on your channel! I’m a fan now! Great job
Welcome aboard!
I just bought a cnc machine and I’m going to try out this simple project and see how it goes! Thanks for idea!
Cool
Nice gift

This is great and has been on my to make list for a while. Thanks for posting a simple how to to make it even easier!!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Thank you! It was fun and simple, I recommend it highly.
Daaaaaaaaaaang! A beautiful, SIMPLE project! Thanks for the idea!
Glad you like it! I can't take credit for the idea, I just put my own spin on it.
Ingenious in it's simplicity...Thanks.
Thank you
Genius little project!
Thanks Garrett. Enjoy your work! Learned a great deal from you over the past couple of years!

You can do it!
Beautiful simple project! And love your practical instruction. Thanks for getting right to the good stuff and being clear with how to build it
Thank you. Glad you like it.
I've made some of these. I leave one side of the base a little wider so I can cut a groove in it to also turn it into an IPad stand/holder.
Good idea. A couple of people have mentioned that.
Blessings, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Brilliant design & build.
Thank you!! Not my original idea. I saw something similar and decided to tweak it and make it my own
Great idea 💡
Thank you for sharing your knowledge & wisdom!!!
Not so much knowledge and wisdom as it is trial and error, but I appreciate the compliment.
I've seen several different woodworkers use a similar gig and clamping the pieces to have that 22.5° angle cut on the ends of them like that. So, if it's a 'bad idea', you're in good company at least.
Cool project
As a reader, I think this is brilliant!!!!
Appreciate it. Not my original idea, but I put my own spin on it
That's very cool good idea
😲 Kool!
Don't forget to say made in USA! 🇺🇲
😲Thanks for Sharing I'm thinking about making one for myself!
Real......🔥🔥🔥🔥......Awesome.....I gotta get on those for easy diy projects for my Readers this way Northern Arizona.......!!!!!
This has become a very popular project. Easy to do, and such a customizable, fun project.
Great idea. This could be easily made to be multi functional simply by making the base slightly wider and adding a groove to hold my tablet.
Yup, several people have offered little suggestions like that. I'm going to make a followup video with some upgrades that can easily be added, such as that, a drawer that can be added, and a pencil/pen holder.
Thanks for the idea. I was thinking about different ways to engrave my poetry an this will be a awesome thing to do.
I like this project a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!
You’re welcome!!
I am definitely going to try making this! Thanks for sharing your idea!!

Goad you enjoyed it. This is such a simple project, but one that's SO easy to make.
Thanks for your detailed, yet succinct explanation of how to make this clever and simple bookstand. New sub here!
Awesome, thank you!
Very nice ! Cool stuff , sell at colleges and schools..
Exquisite craftsman(or woman)ship.
Thank You for the simple but very handy accessory idea. The examples you provided look great. Keep up the good videos. Have A Productive Day! 🛻🚚🚛
Thanks, you too!
Good creative project
If you widened the base a little for a lip at the bottom on one side, it’d be great as a tablet holder. There are a lot of e-book readers.
Yup, a couple of people have mentioned that. Thinking about making a follow up with some variations that have been suggested.
@SothpawDesigns I love this design and project.
On a side note... I leave the paper on the acrylic for the v10 when it comes off the laser so it doesn't get scratched while being shipped to Daniel or while being shipped to you. You can remove it and it will allow you a little view of the bit or really a lot of swirling chips/dust.
#PwnCNC #imakestuffwithrobots
Who’s Daniel?
What a great idea. All I need to do now is to start a go fund me account to buy a CNC machine.
Trust me. I understand.
Those are great! I could use one myself. I wish more people read books instead of tablets and I-Pads.
I checked stats. Over 700 million printed books were sold last year. We’re still in pretty good shape😁😁
I really like this idea. I just bought a CNC and it's still not put together yet. The 40W laser was backordered and should be here in a week or so. Once I learn and get good at it, I'd like to make one of these for my daughter. I imagine people putting these on their night stand.

I know I sleep next to my phone and use it as a back up alarm incase the electricity goes out. Thanks for the video and great idea.
Yup, you can tweak it any number of ways. The phone stand/charger is a good adjustment.
Thank You.@@SothpawDesigns
Well done
Thanks for sharing - a great little project!
Glad you like it!
Love this 👍
Thanks for another great video. Now that Christmas is over could you do a video on what to make and sell now? Also, we are practically neighbors. Im in Jeffersonville, IN lol
Nice. I had this thought rather than a coffee cup pad perhaps an inlay for a pencil/ marker holder. One in every crowd huh?
You're not the first one to mention that. I teach high school and some of my sales came from a few English teachers (go figure), and they mentioned that exact thing. This weekend, I'm going to be launching a new video with some upgrades that several viewers have mentioned, that being one of them.

Thanks Shawn and friends!!

Appreciate the support. Yup, these are a fun project, and proving very popular.
you gotta love that! They see something, know you do some woodworking and just say "I want it!" LOL!
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great idea
Well done
& thank you
Great idea!
Thanks!
Another great project!! I will definitely be making this one for my wife. Thank you for continuing to make great videos.
Merry Christmas
Thank you and appreciate the support!
Brilliant...greetings from NZ
Many thanks! It wasn't my original design, but I took a photo that I'd seen and made my own adjustments and improvements.
Great video. Thank you for the idea and instructions.
Thanks for watching.
Love your shirt!
Great project!
I’m not in woodworking, but this looks epic! Great stuff man!
Thanks Chris
Sorry. Chrys.
What a great idea!!
I think so too! I saw it online and decided to give it my own twist.
This is the first video of yours I have seen. It is a great video, and good project. Keep it up.
Thanks.
Great project! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Great ideas. My goal is to start showing more options with these types of projects.
Or you could be like me and start multiple new projects daily before the already started ones aren’t finished…. I give free lessons 😒
So many things to do and so little time !
Awesome content mate, I'll have to make this one for my other half. Cheers mate , thanks for sharing.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
GOOD SHIT. ...MANY THANK'S.
Thanks
@@SothpawDesigns …The truth is stranger fiction :)
Great video. Love the shirt!!!
Thanks!
awesome idea!
I know a few bookworms... I may have a go at making a few of these...
Very cool
I enjoyed your no frills video. Just down to earth and a pretty cool idea for those book worms out there! I'll be trying this. Thank you.
Thank you..
Thumbnail: “why isn’t everyone making these”?
Me: “why don’t I have $10000 of cool equipment like this guy”?
ok
Awesome project here and I can see the sales potential as well. My only problem is I don't own a laser engraver tool. I just have the bare minimum when it comes to tools and workspace.
There are other options such as paint, decals, Cricuts, etc. And you can get a starter laser for $100 or so. Just thoughts if you'd like to give it a shot. That''d pay for itself quickly.
Or woodburning
Thanks for sharing this great idea. I wish I could come up with a new idea and it be that nice!
Can't say that I invented the concept. I saw something like it, then tried to tweak it a little to put my own spin on it.
Simply...AWESOME. 👍🇬🇧🇬🇪🙋🏼♂️.subscribed
Thank you! I'm going to be doing a series of these small projects in the coming months. Keep an eye out.
Cool idea
Thanks!
That is an awesome project! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
If you route a recess in the cup holder to create lip! ther cup won't slide off when you bumpit with your elbow!
So good
Nice idea I would think they will you over good thanks for sharing your idea
Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Nice project that I want to try attempting - I don't have CNC but have basic woodworking tools.

Great Idea... could also hold a can of cold beer for reading after 5pm.
That’s the spirit!!!
Cool idea!
Merry Christmas Sir
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too!
Very good job sir 🫡 I appreciate you sharing
Thanks and welcome
how clever!!!
Thanks. Not my original idea, but I put my own spin on it.
I absolutely love this! Subscribed and liked!!!
