Woodworking #57- Gadget Station (Pt. 1)

Time to embark on our next project: a Gadget Station. Most people have tons of gadgets laying around the house these days, and they all need to be charged. So my goal is to create a wall hanging cabinet that houses the electronics in a safe and organized fashion. An interesting point of interest with this project is that the recipient is the one and only, Leo Laporte (The Tech Guy).

love your videos. Really learning alot. I was wondering if you have detailed plans available?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@aurfc2 Thanks man. I actually don't have detailed plans for this particular project. But most other projects we do, I will have plans for.

Would like to know if you have videos on the making of jigs, and other "heady" aids to facilitate the different processes and manouvers necessary to built the many items you do ???

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@SLLEWWG Usually, if I do a jig video, I'll put it right into the video the jig is used in just to keep it simple.

@TheWoodWhisperer My Thanks, Marc !

Have you ever found it necessary to execute something whereby you've had to have a jig enabling you to cut compound angles in both the miter and bevel attitudes ? What I'm thinking about is the process wherein you have to cut side pieces for the construction of a tapered / flared bucket or flower pot . You might called these pieces "staves". I'm wondering what you dedicated mind would conceive as a possible jig .

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@SLLEWWG Hmm.....That sounds like a fun challenge. Rather than a jig, I might just calculate the appropriate angles and try to make the cuts as needed. I would likely use Sketchup to mock it all up and then try to get the machines set up as close as possible. The only jig I might use is a tapering jig for the tablesaw.

You should do a show on making a server rack or media center unit.

Great video!

Kids can be trained :)

The only thing I can think of adding to this, a drawer for the Manuals.

@norwegian1967 If you are talking about the torsion box assembly table, yes we have two videos on that. Not sure if I posted them here on YouTube but you can always go to my website and look in the Projects section of the Video Archive.

I really enjoy your videos. Do you have a video, or information on making a work table - like the one in the beginning of this video?
