Keyboard iPod dock (with video!)

We all have had those days: they days where, no matter what, you can't seem to find your iPod's USB cable. Usually this magically seems to happen exactly when you are rushing out the door soon and really want that one song transferred to your iPod. This is an easy solution to the problem of lost/tangled/annoying iPod cables once and for all. And the good thing is it only takes 10 minutes, and just a few tools!

For all looking for the vid, it is the last step. Good luck!

Step 1 Parts/Tools needed

Parts:

Keyboard. That you wont mind taking apart and hacking at with a dremel.

iPod USB cable. Try for a newer one that is small and doesnt require you to manually press in the sides for iPod removal.

Optional: USB cable extender. Good if your iPod cable is shorter.

Tools:

Dremel (or dremel knock off) with a cutting tip

X-acto knife or other small blade

Hot glue gun (or other means of sticking things together)

Optional: Drill or drill press with a variety of brill bit sizes. Can make your finished dock look prettier :)
