Control that cable clutter

Due to Xabess’ post: Valuable real estate I will now post pictures of my desktop cable box. Designed to house an ordinary power strip and various power cords (USB, Light, etc.). There are large holes on the back for larger cables. For the front I used an IVY file to cut out smaller ‘holes’ for smaller cables to fit through, like phone cables.

I also have this pretty ivy cutout that is just waiting for another project to be added to.

Very nice! I like the idea of using the vine leaves instead of plain old portholes! :grinning:

Thanks. I felt it added an organic feel to it. A bit of nature for your desk.

if you made two boxes, each out of different material, you could make the same cut out of the top of each box and then use the opposite material as inlay on the tops. :slight_smile:

I think that might be nice stained or painted, and glued on top…

Clever!
