How to make a phone stand. Easy woodworking project.

[@Heseblesens]

Great little project! I think I would open the hole you drilled so that you could easily put the phone with the cord already connected on the stand. It is just a couple of quick cuts with a dovetail saw or similar. Even if you drill more holes for the cord in the other part of the stand I think I would open that front hole. Makes it easier to put the phone on the stand when cord is in the open or even connected.

Very nice stand, I will make a couple but will need them in landscape format. Because the iPhone has a night mode in landscape when it shows a clock which is ideal for a bedside table. Thanks for all your hard work doing these videos. We all enjoy watching them

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Sounds great!

You may want to also add holes for the phone speakers, thats how I make them. It makes music a little more clear when listening on the charger stand.

Love it!!! You always make useful things that are attainable at any skill level, by teaching through your own experiences. It makes a person feel more confident going into the project.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad you liked it

Skyler open the router fence a little...this way...dust will go into the port....and not on your router table when you push your wood....lol 😄

[@williamreadon9052]

2 small grooves in the bottom would actually be better than holes, that's an amazing project

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Grooves! Yes, I like that idea. I will do that

A lot of people make Cell Phone Holders However, few make Cell Phone Amplifier Holders - Much more useful. They are Non-Electric, just acoustic. I suggest making one. AND it holds the cell phone!

[@Bampy8162]

Love your work and the useful projects you make. Going to have to try this…👌👌👌

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Have fun!

Hi Skyler, great project just how I like them simple and quick. Good choice of wood walnut always looks great no matter what you make. Thanks for the video looking forward to the next one.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@woodrowsmith3400]

Skyler...you amaze me! The simplicity of this project is half it's beauty! I could easily see this as a small batch production using the table saw. Yours has more than enough 'oomph' to do it, although I'd be leary of trying what I am about to suggest on a job site saw. Set a stack dado to 1/2" thickness and 1 3/4" tall. Build a quick and dirty jig similar to a small crosscut sled. Clamp stop block at proper points for the back and leg, then cut. I would likely cut three or four pieces at a time. Doing it on the saw makes sense, time wise for a batch run. The dado will leave a square cut at the top. It might take one or two cuts to fine tune width and depth, but then in fifteen minutes you could have parts for forty or fifty cut out...say an hour including setup time. Fifty in an hour...Of course, there is cutting parts to size (30-45 min), sanding (2 hrs), assembly(1 hr) and finish (2 hrs). The beauty of batch production is you only need to setup once to cut, sand, finish, assemble. Still, it would take you seven hours at worst to have fifty units ready to ship. Just a couple days ago you mentioned you might build things for retail. I never thought I'd see a market ready product this soon! You rawk, gurl!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

:) thank you. Trying my best. I love your idea of a table saw jig

[@TrevorMatthews]

Awesome. I’d been thinking about replacing a prior attempt that only kinda worked. This gave me some inspiration

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad I could help

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you too!

[@rayk9315]

Another great project from the box lady.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you! 😊

[@bevbub]

Cabel at the back of the stand.- Love the video, will try and make one myself

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you

[@jenda3322]

Skvělý stojan na iPhone, skvělé video ok❤

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you Jenda

[@williambuckley1185]

yep this is a good one, easy to make too

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad you liked it

[@papillonwoodprint]

WOW so cool and easy! Do you think it sell well?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I don’t know. Time will tell. No sales yet

[@michaelcantu1766]

love the phone stand and sorry you couldn't go to your class and yes make the extra hole for cable to be hidden

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you! Yes, I totally feel it needs the extra hole

[@Thatguyhasadailyroutine]

Very creative Skyler. Well done!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

thank you

[@bernardsalzman4707]

Beautiful phone stand! I just made several of them last month for friends, but discovered that the sound hole on my Samsung is on the bottom right corner. To remedy this, I have to scoot the phone slightly off the stand to the right or put it in landscape mode.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Hmmm, didn’t think of that. Just used the design for iPhone

[@IgorBrizda-sv6fk]

it looks great

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you Igor

[@andregrenierjr7622]

Would using a palm router work also ?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Yes. Just take a little more setup

[@woodrowsmith3400]

I, personally, would be inclined to not use the palm/trim router for any more that one prototype. A half-inch bit is at the far end of what the trim router is intended for. And...most folk don't have their palm router in a table. I see this as a router table project, both for safety and for protecting the wood from errant movement of the spinning bit. If you have a crosscut sled for your table saw, you could take blade sized bites (thickness) with a blade set to 1 3/4" above the deck of your sled. That would be quicker and (in my mind) safer than the trim router. Not trying to discourage you, but trying to point out easier and safer ways to do it.

[@DjLooN]

Yes... Place a scrap under the piece you are going to route to lift it off the table then clamp it and take multiple passes to make the cut. I've made something similar but bigger for my phone, glasses, wallet and keys using a palm router.

[@manuelurdaneta2105]

How did you find that slices of wood (45$), in Amazon. I can’t

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I put a link to it in the video description

[@Dustin2112]

Kinda hard to concentrate on that phone stand there in the start of the video.... 😊😁🤣

[@gregmize01]

all by design

[@RamseyD.]

This project reminded me of Woody Hyezmar's Bible somehow…, although you can currently get it at no cost, the projects are worth a good look. Maybe try go’ogling his latest.
