After having a major clear out and rearrange we had a book case going spare and because I could not be arsed to take it to the skip I decided to repurpose it and use the wood to make a custom charging station. I have very few tools and I am certainly no carpenter but I am pretty happy with what I created even though it is a little rough and ready by most standards.
Here it is closed and this way can be used as a nice side table.
Here shown with top open and two Xtar VC4 and one xbox 360 battery charger on the left and on the right there is a charging stand made from a repurposed letter rack and storage for AA and AAA batteries that I use a lot of.
Mounted under the shelf where the chargers are is a six port smart USB charger and storage for remote controls. There is also a small plastic basket that keeps all the various charging cables tidy.
It even has RGB lighting because why not.
Finally although not strictly connected with this project I have finally added a small touch screen to control my media centre but because it sits on the unit next to the charging station I thought I'd include it here and save another post.
One thing I have learned recently is that being bored can be dangerous but at least this time not expensive.
