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

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

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

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
