Revisiting this to show you kinda how things pan out upon "completion". My MFT is going to be used temporarily in the place where a dedicated bench for guitar work will go...it's wider and a little shorter, but for the moment it at least provides a surface that isn't my main bench. I upgraded to a much nicer (and larger) monitor for the CNC control machine and wall mounted it. For the last year and a quarter, I had the whole computer system on a mobile "stand up" stand thinking that being able to move it about would be convenient, but actual use dictated that it pretty much stayed in exactly the same place the whole time. So to get rid of cables crossing the floor, the CPU moved under the CNC and the new monitor is, as mentioned, wall mounted with wireless keyboard and rodent to support. That red tool box will eventually go away when I get another nice black multi-drawer tool cabinet for under the area where the monitor, keyboard and mouse are...'just waiting on a good deal. I wanted to snap up another one of the larger, black Husky units like I have now, but the current version is 24" deep vs the 18" deep that I have as well as a hundred bucks more expensive and with a power strip on the right side that would be essentially unusable. I'll find something more modest when the time is right. At any rate, I have just a little more cleanup to do and can get back to some planned projects. This little shop work, however, has been transformational in both physical space reclamation and a greater sense of space, too.
