Yesterday was organiser day, I made a charging stand for my electronics with foam tape at the bottom.
The flashlight organisers are a bit of a mess, the sizing is a little off for all of them because my lights have such a range of sizes, I might come back to them and fix it.
I also started working on a princess bed style canopy for my dorm bed to make it cozier.
It’s glued together stacks of laser cut MDF that friction fit to the frame, they’re still drying as I applied a coat of tung oil to hopefully help them survive longer. The vertical poles have holes drilled at 90 degrees to eachother so I can make a rope frame to hang the fabric
The fabric canopy will be made from a king size blanket that I’m going to install eyelets into. Then I’ll either string up some fairy lights inside or above it. I was thinking if I do it above then the light shining through holes in the fabric would look kinda like stars.
I’m considering placing some speakers at the foot of the bed inside that I can play music or rain sounds from before bed, and possibly a fan for ventilation.
Small woodwork projects are so fun because I don’t need to do any rigorous planning or designing or research, I can just have a idea and execute it immediately
I also enjoyed this type of woodworking when I was young. Your current project is really cool and very functional.
Perhaps consider some small directional lighting for reading that’s either built into the posts at the head-end of the bed, or attached to the posts using something like bike handlebar mounts.
Thank you for sharing & please keep posting as you advance!

How about a vertical organiser, rather than horizontal? Like shelves but with dividers so each light gets its own space. Perhaps if you wanted to over-engineer, design so the shelves slope downwards towards the back.
Don’t tell my parents, but there’s not much reading happening
