Overview

This contest is sponsored by the folks at SpaceGAMBIT. For more info on them and what they do, click here.

Spacecraft, Space Habitats, Makerspaces, and many other work areas share a common issue - limited work space. And often you have to take the workstation to the project. A classic solution is to create a portable, stowable workstation - ways to pack your favorite maker needs in a container, transport it, pull it out and setup quickly, use it and then stow it away again. This could be a foldup electronics station, a packaged welding rig, a sewing center, a portable carpentry shop, a mechanics back-o-truck box, 3d scanner/printer rig, festival kitchen, photo/video documentation - whatever it takes to make your projects. Mobile maker training communities could have three or more sets of various teaching/learning stations that can be loaded up and taken to a public training/demo event.

For your chance to win some amazing tools, post an instructable that shows how to build (and stock!) a portable, stowable workstation, or some cool components of one.
