Cut a Piece of Wood

1.one piece of wood 180 x 550 x 15
2. One piece of plank 150 x 150 x 3
Construction:
1. Cut 3 discs from a piece of wood
Cut the Interior
2. Cut the interior as shown for 2 of the discs and paste them together such that it becomes a cylinder.
Cut and File Slots for the Cables
3. On the cylinder, cut the slots and file them according to what you need. The number of slots and size depend the the cross-sectional diameter of the cables and the number of devices that need charging. In my case, I cut 4 slots on top and 2 below, each about 5mm in diameter.

4. Cut the plank into a smaller diameter disc and paste it on the bottom of the 3rd wooden disc.
Finally
Usage:
5. Place the cylinder as such on top of the cable outlet.
