JohnG Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 For the power strip, search amazon (or whatever you prefer) for recessed power strip. There are a lot of styles and options. The vertical post is two pieces of wood glued together. Before gluing them together, a channel was cut down the center to give space for the power cord, then a hole is cut through the face of one of the boards to insert the power strip into. You could also use 4 thinner boards to make a hollow post, but then you either have to make long mitered corners or have the endgrain showing on some of the sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swall Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I was wondering if you could still make this? If so I’d want to send my badge and have a custom order for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
