First job was to make sure I had the stuff to build it.  I had an idea in my head what I wanted it to be but as it might take a while for bits to arrive (with Brexit and ships stuck in the Suez and Covid-19 impacting the world).  What I had on hand was a 12v led strip, an led driver, some pieces of 3mm mdf with an oak veneer and a 3d printer - pretty much all I needed to get started.
