I was going to tear my 10 USB hub apart and run higher gage wires for power. Perhaps glue them to a wood frame or something.

This is what I was going to tear apart https://bitcoinware.net/collections/mining-accessories/products/10-port-powered-hub-usb-2-0 it can't even run 1 compact 1 .....

Oh, in that case yeah I and several others have done that. Phil posted a thread a while back about hub options for 2Pacs, and I think someone in there linked to a thread AJRGale (maybe?) did about rebuilding a hub for stick miners.

I wasn't sure if you meant rebuilt an existing hub, or built a new hub from scratch. I've done the one and am working on doing the other, but wasn't sure how to answer your question accurately.

Sweet thanks!! I will have to dive through Phil's posts to see if I can find it.  I do vaguely remember that post he had pictures to I believe.

No need. Here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1152953.0 simple search yielded this result. Doesn't seem too complicated but the end result is money saved off of buying some overpriced hub.
