***NEW WORK BENCH ALERT***
Okay, I may be a little extra excited about this, but I just got a new work bench for my garage droid factory!
Up until now, I have been taking over the dinner table with parts and other assorted goodies related to this project. I knew from the start that I needed to get a work space setup, preferably in my garage, where I could keep everything together and eventually start working!
Problem was that with all of my resources (a.k.a. $$$$) going into the parts, I didn't have much left over for tools and other secondary pieces required for the job.
It can't be luck, because there is only the Force, but by some twist of fate, my work was in the process of renovating work stations, and had old work benches for sale to employees!
Needless to say, I jumped on one of these work benches and claimed it as my own. I was also able to scavenge several parts from other work benches, like shelves, lighting, computer racks, cabinets, etc. and add them to mine.
Definitely channeled my inner Rey, scavenging through an old warehouse for different parts that I could use. Not as grimy of work, and definitely received more than "one quarter portion" for what I found.

Bottom line: I purchased this whole bench for $100. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!
Considering these top-level industrious work benches can sell for well into the $2000 range, I'm feeling pretty good about this pickup.
This is a great addition to my project, and will be sure to put me in a position to build a great R2 unit! More to come....
