Start from a blank workpiece
Begin with a new blank workpiece in the real Easel editor. Resize two squares into a narrow stem and a wider crossbar, overlap them and use Combine to make a T-shaped hanger. Draw a separate rectangular base, then add a shallow socket as wide as the upright and as deep front-to-back as the stock thickness. Set outside cuts for the two parts and a pocket cut for the socket. The native 3D preview shows the flat parts, not an assembled stand. This unsaved example uses half-inch stock and a quarter-inch socket depth. Measure your wood, round the mating corners or add corner relief, and test the fit and stability before carving a stand for your watches.

A divided tray holds small everyday items below hanging watches. An eight-watch stand or wall rack leaves more room for straps; the single-watch cradle fits a particular charging setup.
Longhorn watch caddyby Ex31:3 WorkmanshipA longhorn detail sits under the crossbar of this tabletop caddy, beside pockets for a wallet, coins and jewelry. The shared file has numbered carving steps for the tray and hanger, plus a detail option without the longhorn. Follow the numbered steps for the parts; two sketch tabs are reference layouts rather than cutting steps. The decorative longhorn pass uses V-carving, which requires Easel Pro.
Two-tier watch displayby DIYTylerHang a collection on two crossbars and keep pocket items in the tray below. DIYTyler’s walnut display has separate base, pocket-layer and upright parts in three shared workpieces. The photo shows three watches; the maker describes room for up to eight.
Round-base smartwatch standby Kalvin DanielsA small plywood stand holds an LG G Watch R above a round base. Its shared layout contains the base and upright pieces. The cradle was drawn for that particular watch, so resize it for your watch and charging hardware rather than assuming it fits a newer model.
Wall-mounted watch rackby Antonio SantiagoMove a watch collection off the dresser and onto a tall plywood rack. Two notched pieces create projecting arms on both sides. Santiago’s shared layout supplies the rack parts, and his illustrated instructions show how to slide them together and attach the wall-hanging piece.

Keep the solid bottom and pocket layer separate until their inside edges are smooth. On DIYTyler’s display, this gives you access to the divided tray before assembly. Sand those surfaces while you can still reach them, then join the layers.

Ask a questionAntonio Santiago countersinks the screw holes in both plywood pieces, then slides the notched pieces together and attaches the wall-hanging piece. Recessing the screw heads keeps them from projecting above the wood. His photos show where the pieces meet, so use the illustrated sequence alongside the shared layout.

Ask a questionKalvin Daniels notes that his watch cradle is a little loose. Cut a small fit sample around the watch or charging puck before making the rest of a model-specific stand. Adjust the opening after that test, then cut the matching upright and base.

Ask a questionArrange the tabletop arms above the tray so the watches can hang without resting on its contents. For a charging stand, size the cradle around the watch and charging puck.
