- How to make an amazing battery charging station with a buot in outlet. I also made woodworking plans, which are on my website. Workshop organization tips to improve efficiency. I have several brands of power tool batteries and chargers, and my shop is getting messy. I hate having a disorganized workshop, so it's time to finally build a universal battery charging station.
I started off with making woodworking plans. Then I ran to Home Depot to pick up some expensive wood. When in the heck are lumber prices going to come down!? Then I followed my woodworking plans to make sure they were perfect. I ripped everything down on my table saw and cut it to length with my miter saw. Then I assembled the frame, back and inner pieces with wood glue and brad nails.
Not needing to complicate things, I kept it simple and even added a power outlet so I didn’t lose the one I covered. Now my Ridgid and Milwaukee Tool batteries and chargers have a home.
I have several other cool woodworking projects and scrap wood projects like this on the rest of my channel and on my website. howidothingsdiy.com/plans/ols...

@lincoin Dickerson Gave a very good tip for anyone wanting a heavy duty outlet. You could just add a standard metal outlet box and then make a pigtail with 12/2 or 14/2 wire.
Super helpful. Appreciate the plans you included, too. Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment.
Nice. I may took inspiration.
One variation I'm thinking of is a 'general' switch on the front outlet - I don't like to leave the chargers on when there is no batteries to charge.
Here in Europe simple wall outlets are modular, I can make a switch-USB-Schuko combo on the same space.
Sounds like a great idea!
Thanks for the video. Great job on the cabinet; it's giving me ideas. Subscribed!
You're welcome, and thank you.
Excellent. I would make sure the USB plugs are powerful enough to charge modern equipment. I would also add a wireless charging pad on top. Maybe even countersink it so it is flush.
Great suggestions! Thank you!
Real nice! I think I will too!
Do it!
Just got the tape measure out. Thanks!
Get after it! Thanks for watching and the comments. As I commented above, just using a metal outlet box with a standard outlet and heavy duty pigtail might be a nice upgrade.
0:55 May I make so bold as to praise the resource known as construction site dumpsters?
I'm pretty sure that is still steeling. Or at least the cops in my area would think so.
Immediately subscribed just because of clip @ 2:14 lol.
Hahah. Ya, it's was so hot in there. Thanks!
My large charging station is attached to the wall with hinges so I can access the back to organize cables when I add or rearrange chargers. In behind is a couple of power bars to accommodate all the plugs. The front is a flat panel made from pegboard so I can attach the chargers with zip ties.
Those are all awesome ideas and suggestions. Thanks for adding that and for watching!
Great video thanks! How do you like the Ridgid jigsaw? Been thinking about grabbing one
I like it a lot. My only complaint is that the base doesn't lock very well and can angle occasionally. I'm sure there is a way to tighten it but I haven't looked at it too hard yet.
Just wondering how you plugged everything in. Seems you only had two plug spaces in that outlet but you had three items to plug in. The two chargers and the added outlet with usb chargers…
Haha. I knew someone would ask that. I used a short "y" extension cord for the chargers. Then the added outlet used the other one. Here is a link if your interested. www.amazon.com/dp/B072MG1D8V/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_apa_gl_i_6JAR02GBZR1SC4AJ6NPX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ml2&tag=howidothing0b-20
I like this a lot!! I guess ur OCD and u just wanted it all same or to all set out be flush?? But I don't get covering up the outlet and yet putting another one in!!?? Why not just leave a hole RT where the outlet is mount it with the outlet hole RT over it! Just USEEE THE OUTLET THAT'S ALREADY THERE THAT U ALREADY HAVE!!?? JUST PLUG UR SHIT IN TO THE EXISTING OUTLET!!?? And or also get an outlet extension!? Turn the 2 plug into a 4/6 plug!? Do ur BLD around the plug extension...I've seen some pretty darned nice ones!!! Or just instead of ur other new outlet just drill 2 holes! Plug a plug bar with the lights feature added them I got a bar plug but also have have lights if u want them need them!
I would also make a station big enough to add drill holsters! I just got thru making 8 nice pvc drill holsters!
Working on my station plans!? Trying to figure out which one I want need but also which one size etc will fit my areas!?
For me I want a big station where I can have my chargers my batts my drills holsters...also hang like my screwdrivers pliers etc... as I like most things I use or need grab quickly to all be in one spot!!
I am watching ones like this to see if there is any ideal that I may want to incorporate into my plans...😊
All great tips and ideas. Thanks so much for the comment!
Make me one please!
On it. Or you csn buy my plans. Haha
Why not,
just get a standard metal box, metal face plate and wire it up?
That's a good idea. Then just add a pigtail. I'm feeling an upgrade coming on!
@@HowIDoThingsDIY I used to have a table saw that had a household lightswitch to turn it on and off. Safety 0, pratical 100. Cheap, fast and good.
Hahahahha
