Well, everything except the plywood to go on top. I went to Hubbard’s and got some screws and went to Walmart and bought all of their cheap foam boards that I plan on putting up in the cnc room (I guess that’s what I’ll call it now). I came back to put everything together. I used a Kreg pocket hole jig and then found out my drill is too fat and the bit was too short to allow me to screw in at such an angle. So I got back into my car and went to Harbor Freight to get a long bit extension which was worth it because I got a free multimeter with a coupon. I then went to Walmart on the other side of town near Harbor Freight to buy all of the cheap foam boards that the store had. I came home and was out of daylight. I moved everything into the garage for another day. This is the actual progress made today. Clamped one board to another and made two pocket holes. The screws aren’t even in the boards yet.
