An elegant solution to hiding cords and cables. The first 1,000 people to click the link will get a full year of Premium membership to Woodworkers Guild of America for only $1.49: https://go.wwgoa.com/makesomething6/

Power strips and surge protectors are unsightly, but I designed a solution to hide the mess and add style using cherry wood, mitered corners, and perforated sheet metal for airflow. The build also features 3D-printed grommets and accents for a modern, cohesive look. Despite challenges like a costly SawStop brake incident and design tweaks, the result is a functional and elegant way to manage cables. While there’s room for improvement, this project showcases the joy of woodworking, problem-solving, and creating practical beauty. Be safe, have fun, stay passionate, and make something.
