After seeing Steve Good's iPod 5 docking station I decided to make one for my iPod Touch. Great project to make from some scraps. One thing I didn't want to do is glue my USB cable to the docking station, so I thought I'd try something a little different. I put some small blocks on the bottom of the slot where the cable goes through to support the connector from the bottom. The real challenge was keeping the connector/cable in place when I removed the iPod. I drilled a small hole and used a small wood screw to clamp it. So far it seems like it will work. Over time the screw will probably come loose. If I do this again, I'll look for some hardware to glue in the hole then put the screw in.
There's no finish on it. It's made from cherry.
Thanks for looking.
