What I did during the Louisiana Blizzard of 2014
« on: January 31, 2014, 08:45:08 AM »
So since I could not get out and do much due to the ice and did not have a model project on the bench, I decided to build something to organize all those electronic gadgets we seem to have charging all over the house.  Nothing to do with model planes but at least it gave me something to until the weather got decent again.  This is a central charging station.  It doesn't fly but serves a good purpose.

Very cool! Good  job! I like innovative things like this. Most of my (someone else's) ideas are reused (stolen) from other people.  y1

Cheers, Jerry

I only have a cell phone. Wife only has a cell phone. They're basic "stupid" phones. Don't need a charging station for them. I mostly charge mine in the truck. I do have a "charging station" for glow ignitors, Kavan electric finger and 12v. Gel Cell. I should take a picture. It's not very "trick", however!  H^^ Steve

I understand Steve.   I had an old fashioned flip phone and it died not to long ago, so I went to WalMart and took that Unlimited data and useage deal they have through T Mobile for $39.95 and month and it came with a smart phone and I still do not know how to work it completely. I had one of the original IPADs (version 1 I think) and it was not working so well anymore so Linda, my wife, surprised me on my Birthday with an IPAD AIR and last Christmas I had given her a Kindle and a Surface and she has a phone too so all of a sudden we had these darn things pugged in all over the house.  So I thought this would be a good way to centralize the mess....
