Phone Charging Dock

a cherry wood charging station for your phone
Cuting the Wood


cut the wood to the dimensions that work for your phone. it doesn't have to be perfect or even anything specific just what works for you
Cating a Notch




i started by using a saw to make the gide line and then i used a chisel to smack the wood out of its plece
The Glue Up




this step is pretty straightforward, you know... just glue it up (and use a lot of clamps)
Making the Cable Insert




you can just finish the project now and you'll have a pretty nice phone stand but I decided to go a step further and make it a charging station i drilled a hole the same size of the cable and then made a channel for the cord
Sanding and Oiling





before I connect the cable I wanted to send the entire dock and put a finish of oil on it so it wouldn't touch the electronics
Glueing the Cable


i just used some hot glue in case i ever want to change the cable i also made some rubber feet using the hot glue so it won't slide around so much
