Happy #TrekTuesday, everyone. My homebuilt #StarTrek

After that, I& #39;ll start working on a custom soundboard app in Android studio for the refurbished tablets in the armrests. I& #39;ll probably borrow some ideas from the awesome controls on Discovery& #39;s captain& #39;s chair.
It& #39;s far from perfect, but I& #39;m pretty happy with it considering this is the first real woodworking project I& #39;ve undertaken. I have learned so much from this project, and it& #39;s been a ton of fun.
As a plus, my toddler has fallen in love with it!

Major props to @TrekCore& #39;s image gallery, as well as @trekonlinegame& #39;s great Kelvin timeline bridge -- both were amazing for reference. Even though I riffed on the final design, it would have been so much harder without those sources.
Finally, a huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who works on @StarTrek and @startrekcbs -- for a lifetime of imagination and inspiration, and especially for giving my kids the chance to grow up with Trek the way I did. #LLAP
