Charging Shelf
One or two people have mentioned making a charging shelf, to tidy up the
arrangements for charging mobile phones, tablets, cameras, toothbrushes, etc. Have any of you made one and, if so, how did you go about it? I'm proposing to make one, and need to sort out the details. I have bought a 6-gang individually switchable extension lead thus: http://www.screwfix.com/p/switched-e...on-leads/29898 - which is wall mountable, using two keyhole slots on the back. I shall mount this horizontally on a wall with a shelf - maybe 600 x 225 above or below it. I can then keep all my chargers plugged in but only consuming power when actually charging. The items being charged will sit on the shelf, of course. I can't decide whether - to keep the cables as tidy as possible - it's best to have the chargers above or below the shelf. I'm tending towards having the power under the shelf, and slotting the back of the shelf - with only the ends touching the wall, to pass the cables through. I shall probably shorten the extension lead cable too - because the 6-way jobbie will sit just above an existing power point. Any thoughts? -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.
