Keep Your Tools Ready with an In-Cabinet Charging Center (DIY)

Introduction

How many times have you picked up a battery-powered tool, only to find that it was put away with a dead battery? I came up with this sliding panel and drawer charging station built into a tall garage cabinet that lets me store everything in one place. With tools organized and easy to access, a bin for charged batteries and a charger at the ready, you won’t be stuck waiting for a charge.
