One station to charge them all – DIY charging station
Ever since I saw this video I have wanted to make a charging station of my own. I opted for a Plastic box that is easily available in Family Dollar or CVS which cost me about $6, since I didn’t have a drill or pretty much any other tool mentioned in the video I used my trusty soldering iron to melt thru the plastic and a pocket knife to shave the rough edges. After 20 minutes of work here are the results.

It was pretty easy and now I have a very functional and useful charging station which hides away all the messy cables and houses all of my gadgets in one place.
Nice. Might try this to keep a bunch of stuff organized. I’m not sure if I saw it right, but there’s a little outlet hub in the middle of the container, right?

Hi Kidko,
Yeah there is a power strip in there. I want to put in a powered USB hub in there too, this way I can charge all of my USB devices as well

What about heat issues? Would this be a fire hazard?

Heat wil not be an issue as long as the power bricks used arent too big (like a laptop adapter).
