Man!!! I love it, I love how you took something as simple as a piece of wood and turned it into something beautiful. Yup, I know what I'm making next. Great work.
Very well thought out, and different from other docks I've seen. Great job, subscribed!
Thank you! :-)
Incredible!
Great job.
defintly the most unique dock that I could find on youtube, defintly gonna try this for my smartwatch aswell. best Part about it...
I also get a place for my stylus Pen for my Laptop, never gona loose it again xD
thanks mate for sharing it with us.
This is sweet! I'm thinking about making one of these except change it up to make it unique. It's awesome to see what people can make from stuff anyone can get (like a tree branch). Epic job!
I'm glad you like it! I still use this thing every day (or rather night).
Pretty nice. Thanks for the idea.
You are very welcome.
Great video man. Cool dock idea.
Thanks man!
this was really a cool project
I'm glad you liked it. I was really happy with how it came out too. You never really know what it'll be like when you start.
Good job! I like simple and you did it. Good video too!
Thank you Rick!
For me, is awesome. Thank You for sharing it c:
Thanks Nelly!
good job
Very well constructed dock.
Came out nice.
Be a bit more cautious while using power tools.
A very nice and concise illustration.
Well done.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! I think things will get a bit more safe as I develop some better places to work than the floor of our deck. Working on my long awaited workbench currently.
Dude, that was sick! I really want to make one as well! Subscribed! Can't wait to see more from you!
Thanks :-)
Great job!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video! I am impressed with quality of video and product. Good job!
Thanks!
very well produced video!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Amazing
you didnt cut your fingers off cutting towards you ..
I look beautiful. I congratulate you for the work you did.
Thank you Rafael!
Would the magnet behind the charger not affect the magnetic field?
Great video.. God bless.
Thanks Karim!
BTW awesome project!
Thanks!
this is genius
Use the vice!
Nice vid, Pls what´s the name of the tools for the wood? thanks.
Very nice! I don't own a Apple watch, so I am not sure what the magnet behind the charger does?
The Apple Watch charging puck is magnetic. The watch actually attaches to it magnetically, which is kinda cool. The magnet behind the puck is meant to help secure everything into the dock. It clips onto the screw on the end of the dowel as well as the back of the puck. In practice it's not really necessary as the puck and dowel fit very tightly into the dock.
What size Forstner Bits did you use?
beautiful vid.
Thanks!
Well done sir
Thank you!
Great job man. I just made one just for normal watches.
That's super cool! Thanks man!
makjosher No prob. Just gave it to my dad. He is super happy and sursprised too.
Wow that is so nice! This would be perfect for my Huawei watch too! Just came across your channel, how you don't have more subscribers is beyond me. Excellent quality videos!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I only recently started uploading, which is why we're still a small channel, but growth is slowly happening.
Nice bit of wood
Do you make or accept custom orders?
Does the extra magnet help to keep the watch in place?
No it doesn’t. The charging puck magnet is what is mainly holding the watch.
lol epic presentation
Haha. Thanks Jonathan!
Could notch out the top and put a wireless charging coil for you phone!!
Nice Job, where did you get the magnets?
Good question Thomas. I picked them up at Home Depot I think. Most hardware stores will have some magnets I think.
Hey man awesome video and love the dock. I'm planning on including this dock on my iPhone/Apple Watch docking station that I'm going to build. I'm planning on making a video and posting it. Is that cool with you? I'll give you credit in the video.
Hi Cassidy. That is 100% ok with me. I'd love to see what you come up with and I'm sure others would too! I'm really just glad you were inspired 😀
I really like the Rustic DIY Apple Watch Dock/Stand that you made. I would like to take that idea and build one for myself. The only thing is that I'm using a Samsung Smart Watch. The charging unit is different then the Apple Smart Watch. Do you have any idea's or suggestions? Thanks in advance. I must have watched the video a hunred times, love it and I'm now a subscriber.
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you are inspired. I'm not familiar with the different Samsung chargers, but I'm guessing you have the one with the black dock, which is quite a bit different than Apple's charging "puck". My initial thought is the carve out (with a Dremel or router) a cavity in the bottom side of the log to accommodate the entire dock. You could just pop the dock into the bottom of the log. The issue I see is that the entire front and half of the bottom of the dock will be exposed. It would be cool if you could make a larger black ring around the bottom of the log to hide the bottom of the dock. Hopefully this makes some sense.
I found this site that you might be interested in. It shows options for changing an Apple Charging station to an android. Or using the adapter for your own make of Watch. The site is called Fat Dog Mod's. www.fatdogmods.com/buy-now.html Thanks.
Beautiful! Am I going to make one? No, but it was very pleasant to watch.
Thanks! I had fun putting that one together.
FYI microwave small pieces of dead wood 30 -45 seconds to kill insects like bore beetles. Then apply Danish oil while pores are open.
Thanks for the input! I will keep that in mind.
Cool work, you got a sub :D, also wondering what is up with ur knife in the logo and profile photo :D
Thanks. I just like the look of it and I use it for just about all my projects. Plus, it has a hint of Macgyver to it. :D
Hehe, that is true. check out my stuff if you like, doing some builds :D
I'll use Inplix instructions to make it by myself.
I'm glad you like it!
:)
what that cheap pen for?
Honestly the top of the dock seemed a tad plain, so I thought I'd add a hole to store a pen or pencil in.
Do you sell them?
No, I do not. For right now everything I've been making is a one-off. I like to show you just enough to hopefully get you inspired to try it yourself. :-)
I dont have the tools but i want one so bad
How many people had blood on their bits after trying this project?
I hope that any that want to try this project are smarter than you about using power tools safely!
I like it all except you cutting towards your hand. Safety first...
Thanks John! I will keep that in mind next time.
Not very accurate, but looks very good
I'm guessing you mean everything was just eyeballed - and you would be right. Thanks.
If apple done this It would cost £1000 at least
