- 4 strips of 5 mm MDF 30×12 cm (about 12×5 inches) with mitred or cut at an angle of 45° edges, to join them as a framework (or you can prepare two strips 30×12 / 12×5” and two slats 29×12 / 11×5” reducing 5mm on each side to create a simple frame),
- 4 rubber (thick square rods) 3 cm square and 5 cm high (1,2×2 inches)

Making a case for charging electronic devices
Make flat drilling bit at the bottom of one of the slats, which will place the back piece. Prepare all cuts of wood, glue joining first and then nailed the square base and the 4 slats which form the frame.
Place the 4 wooden blocks on the inner corners of the cube you just created. In the same bar you drilled to pass the electrical connection, places the two small hinges on the upper edge, lowering the timber to leave the level, and then fixed to one side of another large square, to be placed as a lid. Secured with tape or sergeants and allow the adhesive to set. Ready, paint the pieces to give the finish you want.
Meanwhile, make holes in something smaller square, as many as cables or chargers you want to put in your box. Disassemble the plug of the extension (the shoe), pass from inside and out through the hole you made in one of the slats, and fly to mount the plug or connector. Using hot glue or insulating tape, strip fixed to the base of the box. Chargers connecting your devices, by passing the terminal from inside and up / out through the perforations of the inner square. Place glue on the blocks, if you want, or just put the square drilled on the blocks and within the box.
If you fear that your connector terminals fall within the box, you can reduce the diameter of the holes with a creative solution such as circles of sticky paper, hot glue or the solution that works best.
