1 straight wood (serves as the base structure)
Soda can hooks (minimum 6 units)
1 manual or electric drilling machine
1 metal hanger hook
Electrical cables with plug
Small screws or nails
Insulating tape
A small electric motor (optional, depending on the function you want to add)
Strong glue or hot glue gun
How is it put together?
Prepare the base
Cut the wood straight to a comfortable size (approximately 30 cm) and sand the edges well to avoid chips.
Attaching the Can Hooks
Use the hole punch to make small, equidistant holes along the length of the wood. Insert the hooks from the cans, bending them carefully if necessary to secure them securely. These hooks will work as multiple fasteners for hanging objects, cables, keys, or small tools.
Add the Hanger Hook
On one end of the wood, install the metal hanger hook. It can serve as a main hanger or even to hold the entire invention on a wall or behind a door.
Electrical installation (optional)
If you want to incorporate an electrical function, such as a small light or charger, connect the wiring with a reused plug. Be sure to use electrical tape to protect the connections well and avoid hazards.
Fastening and Finishing
Reinforce the joints with screws or glue, and test each hook to support light weight without bending. You can paint or varnish the wood for a neater and more durable finish.
What is this invention for?
Depending on how it is assembled and the accessories that are added, it can have multiple functions:
Cable organizer, small tools, or wrenches
Improvised charger with base to support the cell phone
Kitchen stand for light utensils
Multifunction coat rack for small spaces
Charging station with built-in plug
Desk stand with lighting options if a spotlight is integrated
Tips to improve its functionality:
Use recycled wood, but make sure it’s in good condition.
Secure the metal hooks with small nuts if they will hold more weight.
If you’re using it as a charging station, it has a flat rimmed base to prevent your phone from slipping.
You can add a switch between the wiring for added security.
Attach a small magnet if you want it to hold metal objects like scissors or screwdrivers.
A simple solution that proves that inventiveness still has a very important place in our everyday lives!
