Apple puck-mouse/keyboard coat rack

Step 2Attach and wrap dowels

Attach and wrap dowels
Follow these steps for both of the dowels and holes, of course.

Insert a mouse cord into the mouse cord hole drilled in step 1.

Place adhesive on the keyboard end of the dowel, and place it such that a) the pre-drilled screw hole lines up with the wood screw hole in the keyboard and b) so that the groove in the bottom allows the mouse cord to come up from the bottom.

Screw the dowel tight to the keyboard.

Lightly coat the dowel in adhesive, then wrap the mouse cord tightly up the sides of the dowel. Once you reach the top, you can use masking tape to hold the cord to the dowel until the glue dries.

At the point where the cord begins to be higher than the top of the dowel, cut another groove. Snip the mouse cord so that there is about an inch of cord higher than the top of the dowel. Slice this portion of the cord, then cut the wires from it.

Wait for the glue to dry before proceeding.
