Hey Steemians,

For a while I've wanted to move my main workstation from my dining room table to a more...suitable location.

So my room has a big closet in it and I decided, wouldn't it be nice if I could have a big desk built into the closet to hold all my robotics tools, my 3d printer, and some of my finished projects. It's a lab of science exploration in my bedroom, and I'm psyched.

Now, I could have just bought some ikea boards and assembled them, but wheres the fun in that?
So I decided to...

Oh yeah.

Anyways, I asked my friend for some help to see if I could borrow tools and a big place to build my desk, and he said he could let me borrow his garage for a few days.

Now I started construction yesterday and here is the stage by stage progression of my built in workstation:
