OKay, Callen --
I've had my morning coffee (lunch and dinner too, by now). I've read, and re-read your entire worklog several times throughout the day, and am now ready to make my critique ................. hehe, I jest - I'm not in any position to critique your work, but I can make a few more comments:
1) somehow I missed that you were new to some of these tools, like the router - very hard to believe. You obviously know your way around machinery and power tools.
2) love your DIY lighting solution - very clever way to mount the lights - and a great way to manage photos of large pieces and a larger work area. Nice
3) the other thing that is easy to gloss over - you didn't have enough workspace, so you just knocked out another bench - very casual character, aren't you? (that's a compliment, by the way

)
4) While you haven't shared a lot of the planning/CAD process - it has to have been extensive. I can only imagine the planning that has gone into this build.
5) And - too many other things to mention, but thanks so much for sharing the detail you're going through - on the SSD drives, the metal work, and everything.
Sorry - didn't mean to restate your worklog, but your style is very under-stated, and it's easy to miss some of this stuff going through on a quick read. Can't wait for more.
