Typical Stuff In The Shop
Putting a docking plug into a drawer. I like the swing arm that houses the wires so the don't get out of control.
They're expensive, but if the client is willing to pay it's worth it. It's a lot more professional than a plug with the cord hanging out the back.
(These come in several different plug/usb port configurations.)

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.

Never seen that before, really cool!
That is a slick little devise.

I want to put an outlet in a drawer for a cabinet insert I have planned. I saw those, but they were close to $300 if I recall correctly.
I'm wondering if I could make an articulating arm like that out of wood.

Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner
I did something like that but let the wires flex on their own. The drawer only traveled about 7+ inches and I was able to provide a generous service loop.

I think these start at about 225.00 (way over priced in my opinion) but they're cool if you got the dough.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
OoooOoo 🤩
I've been kicking around ideas for a desk build for myself for years - I'll have to figure out a way to add this on a bit of a budget. Might even think about this for a drawer/motherboard tray to build in my PC while still retaining easy access for repairs/modifications... 🤔
