Frequently woodworking, especially cabinetry, takes us into that realm of minor electrical work. I was hoping we could start a thread of solutions for common wiring/electrical aspects of our projects.
Here are some ideas of the kinds of things that I (and fellow woodworkers!) would love to see you share:
- Lighting for built-in cabinetry - undercab, accent in bookcases, display, etc.
- Hiding cables or light sources in cabinetry, built-ins, media centers, desk units, etc.
- Accommodating electronics - venting, cabling solutions
- Unique solutions or products that you have come across
Honestly, anything is welcome, and photos are always great.
I'll add the necessary disclaimer so the thread doesn't veer off course:
DIY electrical work is done at your own risk. This thread does not endorse performing electrical work that you are not comfortable with, nor does the OP, any poster herein, or Sawmill Creek assume any liability for your actions as a result of this thread, unless they make you oodles of money, in which case charitable contributions are accepted. As with all things electrical, if you are unsure of how to proceed, consult a licensed electrician. There, now that's out of the way.:p
