Fixing The Ugly Power Strip Problem
Make Something
@makesomethingAbout
Creative woodworking focused on design and art. Over the past 10 years, I’ve created nearly 500 videos, each one reflecting a different stage of my journey. Along the way, I’ve explored every style of woodworking content and gone through many transformations. Now, I’m stripping away the gimmicks and hype to focus on what drew me to making in the first place: the journey and the creative process. I want to push my creative boundaries and build things that truly excite me. I’m here to share my design thinking, my struggles, and my insights to help us all move forward on our creative paths. It’s not about how; it’s about why. Let’s Make Something.

Video Description
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.
