Personal benchwork

Workbench.

I spend a lot of spare time at my bench building things, partly to learn and partly because physical work helps me reset. Some builds are mine from the first sketch, while others follow or adapt someone else's design; they are labelled as such. This section is a collection of what I made, where I failed, and what I would change next.

A compact bench extractor designed around a 12 V fan, printed enclosure, and a first pass at simple control electronics.
