About: Hi, I'm Kostiantyn, I love to invent and bring it to life. It doesn’t matter what will be used for this, but most of all I prefer working with wood, LEDs, and microcontrollers. @TimberRough

Like probably many others, I have accumulated a large number of small gadgets that lie on the table or the lid of the Apple Mac Mini. This time I decided to organize my workspace and developed a wooden organizer stand that is perfect for a Mac mini or Mac studio.

Introducing the Wooden Mac Mini Tambour Riser Organizer: a sleek, open-source solution to declutter your workspace while elevating your Mac Mini or Mac Studio experience.

Crafted from Cherry veneer and Alder veneer, this stand features a tambour door organizer drawer, providing convenient storage for small accessories and peripherals. Compact and precise in design, it seamlessly integrates with your setup while adding a touch of elegance.

As an open-source project, all design drawings and resources are available on GitHub, encouraging customization and modification to suit individual preferences. Streamline your workflow and enhance productivity with this stylish and functional organizer.
