iPhone 8 Plus Charging Pad
Instructions
Cut the Pattern
Here's the model of Qi charger this was designed for - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734L6N2W/ref=ohauidetailpageo00s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used an X-Carve to cut the pattern in half inch baltic birch plywood using a 1/4" bit to cut down on the time.
It's pretty straightforward, but be careful about how deep you cut the iPhone hole. Too deep and your cut will be too deep. This isn't a huge problem though, I did this on my first attempt and hid the hole using a piece of card stock glued into the iPhone hole.
Once one side is cut, flip it over and take the time to line up the second cut.
Estimated time: 120 minutes
Sanding / Staining
Sand the pad and give it a good stain.
Give it a good stain and let it dry overnight.
Estimated time: 20 minutes

As a little bonus, I added a piece to hold my apple watch charger.
