[@WoodworkingTop535]

I always wait to watch your next videos, great, thanks

[@genelomas332]

A nice, clean, concise and well presented video, zero fluff, no overbearing music, no unnecessary filler content.. 👌 Oh, and the project is cool too

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate it.

[@artsteadman2230]

@genelomas332 the idea is to have an item to sell

[@bobwallace5257]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

They're so simple. I never thought I'd like doing this so much.

[@stephenmcgeown]

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 🙂

[@SothpawDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@mandypetkau8719]

Thank you. This is exactly what I am working on. I am excited about the shifts I am feeling already. 🙏

[@1jamesbatey]

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

[@anonitachi6966]

Class. I will give this a go this week. Thanks very much, man. Love from Ireland

[@MarkH10]

Outside of a dog, a book is Man's best friend......Inside a dog, it's too dark to read. Samuel Clemens.

[@SothpawDesigns]

BAHAHAA!!

[@cricketb9665]

One of my favorites quotes!

[@rockspyder3970]

😂😂😂

[@ChuckKowalewski]

I read this quote in a Groucho Marx book.

[@lytnin88]

You should bet one of those little, battery-operated reading lights.

[@lordapophis93]

I like that it's got the built in coaster.

[@janalovespaper]

This is such a unique and fantastic gift for those who still love turning pages in a book. Thanks for sharing!

[@SothpawDesigns]

You are so welcome! This wasn't my original idea, but I did put my own spin on it. Thanks for watching.

[@rockspyder3970]

Brilliant! Will definitely be making some of these!

[@jross008470]

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!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you very much. It means a great deal to me.

[@alwilson-wu4xc]

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!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Welcome aboard! Appreciate that.

[@ernest-pj2du]

An added addition would be to mill out a small pocket for the cup to sit into which would make it more secure.

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Outstanding idea. I make the basic triangle but this is my new project, Thank you.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garycarlos9868]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

[e-mail] I'll share it out

[@jimrosson6702]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you!

[@twoelmbuilds]

Love it! I think I will have to make one for myself. Thanks for sharing it! 👍

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@LYTOMIZE_Woodshop]

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!!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you! It was fun and simple, I recommend it highly.

[@prestoncox]

Beautiful simple project! And love your practical instruction. Thanks for getting right to the good stuff and being clear with how to build it

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you. Glad you like it.

[@lenshandcraftedwoodsigns6033]

Great design, thank you for sharing.

[@mariovasquez6954]

What a perfect idea, a simple yet very usable item, I believe these will do well on my 2024 craft show season

[@SothpawDesigns]

Awesome! I hope they do!!

[@PerfectImperfections65]

I can already see me over-engineering this darn thing and making it harder than it needs to be. Perfect Imperfections... That's me!

[@chrisdemeglio6707]

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]

Goad you enjoyed it. This is such a simple project, but one that's SO easy to make.

[@lauradixon8045]

Thank you for the great tips!! Now to attempt my first book holder!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Good luck!!

[@noneofyourbusiness4021]

Brilliant. Thanks for being concise. I’m your newest fan and have subscribed

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you!!

[@guyh.4553]

Daaaaaaaaaaang! A beautiful, SIMPLE project! Thanks for the idea!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you like it! I can't take credit for the idea, I just put my own spin on it.

[@jaymesserly5868]

I like this project a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

[@SothpawDesigns]

You’re welcome!!

[@disqusrubbish5467]

Ingenious in it's simplicity...Thanks.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you

[@sarahsolty510]

I am definitely going to try making this! Thanks for sharing your idea!!

[@Griffinwoodworks]

I made a prototype of one out of scraps the other day, and decided it looked good enough to practice my finishing on. Much like your experience, I posted it on my personal Facebook page and someone wanted the prototype within a hour of posting, and I had a couple of orders within a few hours, just among my friends, not on my business page. I was totally surprised by the interest on it just within a few hours. Now here I am looking for inspiration and add ons I haven’t thought of and hear the exact same thing I experienced just earlier today lol.

[@SothpawDesigns]

It’s funny because I hate the cliche thumbnails “why isn’t everyone making these” but just like you said, as soon as I made it, people started wanting it. I’m actually working on a new Video with some upgrades, like a lip to hold a tablet, a place to mount a pen or highlighter, a page spreader, and an actual drawer that goes inside of the triangle.

[@Griffinwoodworks]

@@SothpawDesigns I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I thought of maybe adding an eye hook or small dowel from the top of the front to hang a pair of readers, and I also put some small felt furniture pads on the bottom of the one going out tomorrow.

[@tomthumb3085]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

That's awesome. I appreciate that. I didn't invent the idea, but put my own spin on it. I'm glad it's so useful for you.

[@CoolJaden617]

My first watch on your channel! I’m a fan now! Great job

[@SothpawDesigns]

Welcome aboard!

[@jazzy7876]

Love this..awesome idea..I’d love to learn how to do wood working

[@bloodinthewater7909]

Thank you. I really enjoyed your video.

[@larrystone5749]

Great job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it looks great Keep building God Bless

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you. This was a fun one!

[@Mel-c8e]

Great and simple idea. Keep up the good work!

[@IDCWoodcraft]

Genius little project!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks Garrett. Enjoy your work! Learned a great deal from you over the past couple of years!

[@brucewatson8451]

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

[@SothpawDesigns]

You can do it!

[@elmerresoso7053]

I just bought a cnc machine and I’m going to try out this simple project and see how it goes! Thanks for idea!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Cool

[@jeffhatcher6585]

Love the design. Definitely giving this a go. 😊

[@SothpawDesigns]

Have fun! I'd love to hear any improvements you make on it.

[@markgaither5635]

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

[@erickjarquin2355]

Great idea 💡 Thank you for sharing your knowledge & wisdom!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Not so much knowledge and wisdom as it is trial and error, but I appreciate the compliment.

[@familyfarewells274]

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.❤

[@ashokmoghe8035]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

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

[@readplanet23]

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! 🛻🚚🚛

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks, you too!

[@dgb56bgd]

Blessings, from this old man in northeast Tennessee. Brilliant design & build.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you!! Not my original idea. I saw something similar and decided to tweak it and make it my own

[@af2001]

Merry Christmas

[@SothpawDesigns]

Merry Christmas!

[@houseovragnar9259]

Thanks for the idea. I was thinking about different ways to engrave my poetry an this will be a awesome thing to do.

[@ronaldlongfellow87]

I’ll say this man God bless you for sharing your idea to help others make money. Bless you brother !

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you.

[@liolone]

42K views within 3days and only 15.2K followers, pretty unfair, glad I randomly found you. Love it

[@SothpawDesigns]

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!

[@gordongroves6674]

Thanks for sharing - a great little project!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you like it!

[@_nativexred_]

Real......🔥🔥🔥🔥......Awesome.....I gotta get on those for easy diy projects for my Readers this way Northern Arizona.......!!!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

This has become a very popular project. Easy to do, and such a customizable, fun project.

[@BrettsWoodshop]

Thanks for your detailed, yet succinct explanation of how to make this clever and simple bookstand. New sub here!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Awesome, thank you!

[@markc3717]

Great idea Well done & thank you

[@mikecozzi1040]

😲 Kool! Don't forget to say made in USA! 🇺🇲 😲Thanks for Sharing I'm thinking about making one for myself!

[@pompommania]

Nice gift

[@paula.the.wannabe.hauler]

Love this 👍

[@zacharyshaver4325]

Great video. Thank you for the idea and instructions.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for watching.

[@ClintonCaraway-CNC]

@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

[@SothpawDesigns]

Who’s Daniel?

[@Sembazuru]

Speaking as a (potential) customer, I was unaware of this style book caddy until I bought one for my mother for Christmas off of Etsy, I forget exactly whom. Hey, sellers: This is a bonafide product that should be a quick little money maker once you have your jigs made up.

[@SothpawDesigns]

I wholeheartedly agree. It's a simple project with a lot of possibilities. The thumbnail "Why Isn't Everyone Making These?" seems a little cliche, but when I made it, that was my honest response. It's a great project.

[@schlotdoglaser]

that is an amazing project. My wife wants one now

[@hollymerchant9550]

Lol, I just send this video to my husband's phone!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Love it!!

[@donmordecai998]

I am having trouble with the angles coming out. Seems like I set my saw correctly but there’s always a gap. Which means I probably didn’t set my saw correctly. I’ll keep messing with it. I love the project!

[@rudrapatel7246]

Merry Christmas Mr. Laymon

[@SothpawDesigns]

Merry Christmas Rudy!!

[@rawpraisehorn5716]

Good creative project

[@deadboltmysterysociety]

This is really great! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks Shawn and friends!!

[@JustaGaibroh]

Cool project

[@michaelmclaughlin4374]

That's very cool good idea

[@AtomicProf]

This is the first video of yours I have seen. It is a great video, and good project. Keep it up.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks.

[@RjGoldMine]

Very nice ! Cool stuff , sell at colleges and schools..

[@williambeattie8529]

Great design - nice workmanship

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you very much!

[@bernadetteflynn5005]

Omg I just love the ease with which you use your tools. My husband has just retired and he loves woodwork but unfortunately we don’t have any space to set him up. I want him to join the local “Men’s Shed “ and want to buy him some sort of saw/tool to get him started. Can anyone suggest what would be the best thing to buy him to get him going. Thank you 👏❤️🇮🇪

[@SothpawDesigns]

The first tool that I started with was a table saw. Very versatile and able to make multiple jigs to accomplish many tasks. Here's what I use. amzn.to/3RFPOwE

[@JonathanMalleau]

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.

[@SothpawDesigns]

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.

[@kevinfreeman1101]

Great video, thanks!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you liked it!

[@f0zfate]

Elegant in its simplicity!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you!

[@tankmeltedargon8831]

Awesome content mate, I'll have to make this one for my other half. Cheers mate , thanks for sharing.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@GingerWoodworks]

Well done

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Exquisite craftsman(or woman)ship.

[@aarong402]

Another great project!! I will definitely be making this one for my wife. Thank you for continuing to make great videos. Merry Christmas

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you and appreciate the support!

[@MrDiesel671]

I am so damn excited that I found this video! You also gained a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing this.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Wow. Awesome! I appreciate that.

[@andrewmarshall7569]

Great video. Love the shirt!!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks!

[@RonHolmes-j1q]

Nice. I had this thought rather than a coffee cup pad perhaps an inlay for a pencil/ marker holder. One in every crowd huh?

[@SothpawDesigns]

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.

[@Brainchild69]

Great idea!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks!

[@coachrr]

Great idea; easy t customize as well.

[@cathys949]

Very creative! Congrats!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrTapanes]

Great project! Thanks for sharing.

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for watching!

[@edmelzark1069]

What a great idea!!

[@SothpawDesigns]

I think so too! I saw it online and decided to give it my own twist.

[@DivinaVoluntas320]

Nice work!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks!

[@urs1386]

Very cool

[@Harinair72]

Thank you!

[@IanFlyinGremlinRCNZ]

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. 🙂

[@SothpawDesigns]

Appreciate the support. Yup, these are a fun project, and proving very popular.

[@cuervojones4889]

you gotta love that! They see something, know you do some woodworking and just say "I want it!" LOL!

[@doreenwatson-read]

that is flippin' genius sir

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks

[@mdcjoe13]

Cool idea

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks!

[@mikebirnie6381]

Brilliant...greetings from NZ

[@SothpawDesigns]

Many thanks! It wasn't my original design, but I took a photo that I'd seen and made my own adjustments and improvements.

[@PuppetWood]

Great project!

[@karleefuchs6670]

Love your shirt!

[@dangilmore5326]

That is an awesome project! Thanks!

[@SothpawDesigns]

Glad you like it!

[@brianhackett9649]

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. ;-)

[@SothpawDesigns]

Great ideas. My goal is to start showing more options with these types of projects.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

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 !

[@shericreates]

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

[@SothpawDesigns]

Thanks for sharing!

[@steponacracker3865]

Thanks for sharing this great idea. I wish I could come up with a new idea and it be that nice!

[@SothpawDesigns]

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.
