Hope this is okay to share. I had a look at the different charging stations and band storage and didn't find any I liked. Found some on etsy that looked good, but I didn't want to spend that amount on them. So I made these out of scrap walnut from other projects I'm working on. I'm still not a great woodworker, so there's imperfections, but that's room for improvement on v2.
Got a tip for us?

Not sure about hanging your watch bands over the stinky laundry hamper though...

may i ask, if that triangular lamp is meant to remind of the pyramid shown on US american dolllar notes?
Nah, didn’t even know there was a pyramid on your notes.
That’s a Deathly Hallows lamp. Which I’m sort of reconsidering now because in the wizarding world that symbol was co-opted by a group of wizards with nazi-like ideaologies.
But I made it myself and I like how it turned out it’ll probably stay as is for a while.
Thanks for response and explaining! i read somewhere, that this pyramid with an eye in its top was used as symbol for the freemasons too.. but i guess that might be just a myth.
what you are doing with this wonderful wood is so admirable, so unique, so beautiful.
Thanks for showing!

Thanks, that’s very kind of you! It is a fun hobby that frustrates the hell out of me sometimes, so that is kind praise.
I think you’re right with the free mason symbol as well. In this case though, just a Harry Potter fan who likes to make things.
Awesome! 👏🏼 That band holder is especially cool! I think if you could find a way to make each band port more uniform, plus ensure the bands don’t slide out, you could sell those made-to-order (e.g., 3-band, 5-band, 7-band versions).
Yeah, my jig wasn’t the best for it. For the next one I’d use plywood instead of mdf, and spent a bit more time making it perfect for the router. Might do that and sell some once all the Christmas gifts are made.
can I ask where you got the red sport loop band with what looks like the silver hardware on the ends?
It's a burnt orange one, from Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/820499541/elastic-apple-watch-band-burnt-orange
You sell yourself short. Everything that you've made in those shots looks terrific. I particularly like the charging tray.
I used to have a cork board I would hand my bands on with pins, and they fell down pretty often. Hopefully this is a bit better at holding those up...Well done! Very creative!

It is, the walnut is an inch thick which gives more stability. I also wash my laundry frequently, so smell is not an issue lol
