DIY iPod Dock from an old DVD Drive

Here’s a dirt simple DIY iPod dock project you can build in a few minutes. Odds are, you don’t use your DVD tray hardly at all anymore. While you’re not using it, you can convert it into an iPod doc for your computer by simply modifying an old DVD. The rest of the materials consist of a sandpaper, a cutting tool, and tape.

The hardest part is simply cutting the DVD into the shape of the dock without breaking it. The idea is to fit it all snugly so that the plastic dock doesn’t detach when you pull the iPod out. This way, you can still use your drive for normal purposes when the time comes.
