The cabinet to hold the power supply and bits and pieces is complete. The electronics is on a tray that pretends it's a complete drawer missing the sides.

The work surface is two 2x4's cut into 32" long pieces, jointed and planed and glued. Overall size is 31.75" x 19.75".

Given that the Rona 2x4's were likely very green I totally expect this thing to warp all over the place as it dries over the next few months. Then I'll worry about flattening it again.
Meanwhile next step is to install the 8mm threaded inserts for holding the arm and a series of holes for mounting to the cabinet. Hope it won't be so heavy that I can't lift it.
