Mike Makes a CUSTOM Apple Watch Charging Stand

[@daviddshoup]

Great, project. I'm making a couple of my own out of cherry. Any chance you are going to post the second video with the LED and electrical part, my personal weakness.

[@sammckenzie4197]

It looks so cool

[@mrose4132]

Looks awesome!!! But...who takes their watch off and then clasps it again to charge it?

[@gray41462]

Always respect your power tools kids, not saying he didn’t, just a sober reminder even small pieces can cause a lot of damage.

[@medlytek]

Very nice. I got some extra cord so i might try one for mine and wife's phone. One thing i would have suggested is use flush mount screws to bottom so if have to get a new cord.

[@DougB]

BTW...... I'd definitely buy one. Can't wait to see the LED version!

[@laurensvandenberg8154]

That is TOO GREAT TO BE HANDMADE, WELL DONE BOYS!

[@saltoangelful]

And that's why safety glasses are so important kids! :D

[@qazzaq3421]

that socket for phone is spot on, how did you manage to be so accurate when pouring in epoxy.

[@romanenko7099]

Thats great guys!! I like when young people make this kind of ART.

[@gregq579]

Pro tip: NEVER use the fence when making crosscuts - always use a miter gauge when cutting across the grain of wood to avoid kickback on a table saw. Good luck and safe travels for anyone who might attempt this 👍🏻

[@camarenaberto]

It looks so cool! If I had the tools I would definitely give it a try.

[@qazzaq3421]

great finished product, do you have measurements for board and watch holder

[@defaultname3858]

looks good!! would have looked even better with the cable for the watch hidden

[@LadyEMC2TV]

You should sell these. The end product came out amazing.

[@haleycarpenter9154]

4:08 "Wassup mom"

[@Shopbuilt]

Sweet project, hope everything heals up good for ya.

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Shop built Thanks, feeling better today.

[@crazytimber1767]

nice video, you schould check out my channel would be cool

[@shawnasimmons]

What other kind of material would look good in the middle. Thinking about making one

[@juelpereira9404]

diy charging stand on top of the diy table, living the diy dream :D

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Juel Pereira Haha for real!

[@TheMilanMovies]

This looks amazing, probably gonna be the first thing I build when I get my Apple Watch soon 😁

[@fransiscon]

The first thought I had when I saw you use the table saw was "use a riving knife" I've been woodworking for years. Table saw injuries are horrible. I'm glad your injuries were minimal.

[@RainbowDrones]

That turned out really well guys! I was wondering what was up with the frosted bit in the middle...then I saw it lit up and I totally get it. Really good idea.

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

The Proper Gents Thanks!

[@liamcarey1085]

Ah! Sharp chisels! Nice to see. Usually on these hybrid channels they don't know how to maintain tools!

[@hughshaw3761]

Any way to splice the watch and iPhone chargers so that you have one cable?

[@grantliddiard7742]

Great job. How did you glue the plastic cutting board to the timber ?

[@eketelon]

What kind of table saw blade did you use to cut the UMHW? Ie, tooth count, tooth cut type, etc. Thanks and it looks great!

[@JRScience]

+Mike and Lauren Curious where you guys went with splicing the wires to only use 1 plug later on. If I am not mistaken the iPhone 6 and forward support fast charge allowing you to charge your iPhone at 2 amps vs the regular 1amp or 500ma. Add that to whatever current the apple watch draws (I would guess between 500ma and 1amp) and you'll find yourself wanting a USB power block capable of producing 3amps through a single port if you want the fastest charge the phone is capable of. Look forward to hearing what you guys did! Cheers, and great video! also subscribed ;)

[@ManharAman]

what if you have a case for iphone? will it fit the space you have carved out?

[@JemmySheng]

Do you have any problem gluing the hdpe with epoxy?

[@jarnobjorkqvist4251]

thats so nice good job

[@stacilazzara5614]

how did you cut a whole into the plastic part for the watch charger , what size bit did you use?

[@grantliddiard7742]

Hi, love the charger. What adhesive did you use to join the timber to the plastic cutting board.

[@GMMikhail]

nice work mike

[@pastornicwilliams]

How do I get one. :)

[@dlpeace]

Have to add on the Chargers also

[@LeFuseTv]

That's amazing!

[@felixblaquiere7079]

Nice work...

[@MikeDold]

Pretty awesome, only a couple small suggestions, you should have future-proofed it because now it's limited to only an iPhone that size, you can't get a bigger iPhone in the future or one that is thicker or possibly even thinner, also I think you should have hidden the watch cable to give it a clean front look, but that's just my opinion, still very nice

[@mgalarzasoto]

Great work! I hope your nose is better by now!

[@ryancollins312]

This looks awesome great look to it.

[@ayushmannath3428]

Wow that's brilliant

[@alibehbahani3976]

Hi dear mike What was the spray that you sprayed on the wood that made it look fascinating pls tell me Tnx

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

ali behbahani It's called spray lacquer.

[@ciscotophat]

woah neckbeard

[@hotung2345]

I like this project very much😍

[@wood4nothing284]

Dude don't mess with the table saw, awesome project hope it was worth the pain. Cheers Tim from wood 4 nothing

[@martijnfransen9933]

love the stand though!

[@reimon8890]

dammnnn that looks so nice

[@felixblaquiere7079]

What's the thickness of the "plastic" and for the leds did you just put them under the plastic or you cut the plastic to put them inside??

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Felix Blaquiere The plastic was 1/2 inch. And we just cut the wood underneath and put the LED next to the plastic.

[@felixblaquiere7079]

Thanks

[@rileyluth2346]

Can u leave a link where I can buy all the materials. Great video by the way and hope you are feeling better!

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Riley Luth It was just scrap wood from the lumber yard, no links sorry :(

[@kevindadams]

Any thoughts about adding LED lights under the base to make the white plastic glow?

[@kevindadams]

+Kevin Adams Never mind. I should have finished the video. Looks good.

[@TheUltimateFreddy]

If I had that I would love it 😍😍😍😍

[@user-cx8fy7hm4v]

nice, you can use it with a case...

[@mytechvids6962]

Awesome video

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

My Tech Vids Thanks

[@ameerelayyan]

Thank you!

[@filip04254]

Would be much better if you hide the cabels for the iWatch charging unit ...

[@youngpippo3073]

Amazing!

[@martijnfransen9933]

nice work Mike👌 why don't you use a riving nife?

[@mb3581]

Martijn Fransen While a riving knife is a good safety feature for preventing kickback, I don't think it would have helped with something that small. They are used to keep a board that you're ripping from pinching the blade on the back side of the cut.

[@glenf4115]

The riving knife is exactly what this is for. To prevent the work piece from slipping behind the blade and getting launched at you. As soon as I saw your first table saw cut I said out loud 'where is the riving knife?' and then I saw you again with black eyes and knew what happened immediately. Make a cross cut sled for small pieces and use the riving knife when not using the sled. I hope you are still alive to be reading this post.

[@yvngskywalker1211]

LMAOOOO YOU GOT KNOCKED TF OUT

[@jackhockett4884]

Hi what is the name of the glue that you used to bond the plastic to the wood?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

+jack Hockett It was 5 minute epoxy from home depot.

[@sunc93]

At the first moment i thought you distroyed his iphone and he punshes you 😂

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

sunc93 HAHA! Darn it! I should have said that.

[@swart4433]

Anyone know what LED would be ise for this?

[@dlpeace]

What was the total cost to make it?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

DLPeace $3 dollar scrap of walnut, $10 dollars for the plastic, $340 dollars for stitches...

[@shanecampbell4206]

Really awesome❗️❗️ you should make a ton of these sell them for $50 and you'll make thousands trust me!

[@gbpages55]

This is awesome I'll buy one! Name your price haha, also sorry about the injury mike

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Gabe Pages Thanks! I'm not really looking to make them, but I'll let you know if that changes :)

[@gkenny12]

Why you no sell !!! I need you sell lol

[@danelroberts2567]

What did you use to hold the cord in place

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

I don't remember if it was super glue or 5 minute epoxy.

[@danelroberts2567]

+Mike and Lauren okay thanks for the super fast reply and amazing work on this it looks fantastic

[@justinvu274]

Is it possible for you to give the dimensions of the base?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

+Justin Vu Sorry, I don't have it anymore. I gave it to my friend.

[@justinvu274]

Thank you so much anyways!

[@CeciDJing]

It would be perfect if you somehow could hide the white cable from the apple watch charger ;)

[@adrianmacia]

what did you spray?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

+Adrian Morales Satin spray laquer.

[@adelm2877]

Thank you

[@WhatWeMadeTeam]

That weird plastic is HDPE (High-density polyethylene) I believe it's the same thing that milk jugs are made of. Recycle number 2.

[@theprofessionalkid]

What We Made Ultra-High Molecular Weight is a polyethylene, little different then High-Density, but pretty close. I would have preferred to use King StarBoard (a HDPE) instead of the UHMW. Cleaner look. I'll be doing mine totally out of StarBoard I think, probably sandwich two different colors. You can't clue HDPE well so I'll probably screw from the bottom.

[@carlsenesbjerg]

Awsom look

[@coleluster1843]

How do I but one

[@lolnickfox]

oh man, glad you are okay. Going back to table saw footage and saw there wasn't a riving knife ='( ='(

[@yaseerawaqas9083]

It`s good but I cannot make such thing at home. I wish I can get a charging dock that charges all the smart devices like iPhone 6, Apple watches, Gear2, and others.

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

This came out cool! Does anyone know where to get scrap walnut pieces? Thinking about making something similar.

[@StevenBagley]

+DIY giveaways & tutorials Local cabinet shop maybe. Where I live there is a luxury RV manufacturer that throws away way too much walnut. We dumpster dive there quite often.

[@ercanyaman8900]

öncelikle geçmiş olsun..süper olmuş ince işçilik...

[@brunogoldberg4303]

Now you will always remember when charging your apple watch you got hit in the nose with a peace of the charging station

[@danelroberts2567]

It wasnt for him

[@allenhester1993]

I built my Apple Watch stand too out of Legos

[@khushaljain1691]

awesome

[@BestOne360]

Perfect

[@Musica20009]

why are we not funding thius!! Lol awesome stand

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

+Musica20009 Haha, we accept cash or check. Just kidding, we're not selling them, sorry....

[@suryashekhardas6299]

+Mike and Lauren That thing looks classy. definetly a kickstarter item btw hows ya nose bro?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

+Suryashekhar Das Thanks! Nose is healing fine. The bottom scar is still pretty visible, but the top part is starting to fade.

[@TakaIguchi]

Take my money!

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Taka Iguchi Sure! How much should I take?

[@TakaIguchi]

Are you guys selling these for real?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Taka Iguchi Sorry, no.

[@ifthis_]

This came out looking amazing! Sorry to hear about your nose. But great job on this. Wouldn't be interested in making me one would you?

[@MikeAndLaurenTV]

Arthur Seabra Thanks! I've had a bunch of interest. If I decide to make a few more, I'll make a video about where to buy them.

[@MandBparanormal]

Well this is a little dumb but they made protection for this stuff for a reason just saying....

[@CCNE20]

I want one

[@michaellovemore7428]

Can u make me one and how much

[@Ollieblythe]

Can u make one for me?

[@cristi1media]

Poor design, all the weight of the phone stays in the power connector

[@joshuawallace518]

Would you guys building me one like that so I can purchase it?

[@DougB]

DOPE. Great job dude. In many cultures, one is not considered a man until they're stabbed by a piece of wood.. lol

[@shanetimberedowl9541]

looks like UHMW

[@Khether0001]

wow!

[@carycleland9506]

Interestingly enough, I watched you using the tablesaw (incorrectly) and thought, oh you are going to hurt yourself doing that. You shouldn’t push a piece through with a hand on each side of the wood unless you’re cutting a really large piece. I know people do it, but will bite you eventually. Get a push block that puts downward pressure on the piece against the fence. Not saying this is how you injured yourself btw.

[@beguirasedcil2993]

Cool

[@josephblairr]

You should start selling these

[@EricLydia2012]

I would pay 200 bucks for that no problem

[@chasesullivan6070]

You should make me one. Lol

[@dwikx]

shit, that must be hurt. be carefull dude
