Charging Station Breadbox

Step 5 The finished product.

I epoxied the powerstrip to the floor of the bread box, leaving enough room for the big brick for the pencil sharpener on one end. Everything fits nicely and it looks just like a bread box. The only 'tell' is the black circle with the cords coming out of it on one end.

I did make sure I purchased a power strip with a low clearance plug. That way it would sit flush against the wall.

I have read where some people are concerned with heat build up. After charging a camera and a cell phone simultaneously, there was not sufficient heat to raise the temperature inside more than 10 degrees over the exterior air temp. Not enough for me to worry about, definitely NOT a fire hazard.

I hope you enjoyed this and build your own!
