Im definitely not going to convert this into a woodwork thread. But here is the woodworking I did anyway.
PC update : I will get a Fractal Terra or North. I think the North is better for me.

This is the current set-up I am looking at. I want to have excellent gaming performance on one 1440, 28-inch monitor.
Won't be surprised if I change my mind again later.
Motherboard - Gigabyte X870I AORUS PRO ICE Mini ITX AM5 Motherboard
I just found out about BTF boards. They might be helpful for creating a clean-looking, easy-to-build PC.
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Not sure if I need this one specifically yet.
Case - Fractal Era 2
I haven't decided yet if I am going with blue or white.
Ram - 32BG of DDR5?
Storage - A 2TB SSD for the OS and a 4TB one for everything else.
PSU - A Fully Modular SFX one.
Am going to look at good cable management too. Will need to better understand these parts and how they
can fit together in the case first.
Graphics card - I am going to get it later for the gaming.

I have been doing some other things so this has taken a back seat for the time being.
However, I am pretty sure that I am building in Fractal Terra.
I like this case and don't mind spending a bit extra on it. Also, I realised that size is a priority,
especially now that I could be moving the room I will have the PC in, and that would be cool to have
one that I can pick up easily and move.
I have a fair prospect of having the spare cash to build it in late August, but I dont really have any
control on that so not counting my chickens with it.
Here is the headphone stand I made :

I've just got to get a course I am finishing out the way,
Then, in late October, I will finally get to build my PC at last!
I've already bought a Lian Li A3 to build in. It was cheaper than the North and is a better size.
mATX, so no SFF tax. Easier to build in too.
I have also bought the mobo. I hope to pick up the rest of it at a decent price in the coming weeks.
I am still unsure of which CPU to get.
I decided all white was optional, because I'd rather just get the best parts possible.
But will get in white if I can.
With the Asus PSU Ill get some different white power cables instead of the black ones that come with it.
SSD might be overkill (not the size but the make), but it has excellent reviews. Hoping I can get it cheaper than the current price.
Very much looking forward to having all the parts and building it
Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor (£269.99)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 77.8 CFM CPU Cooler (£35.00)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B850-G GAMING WIFI Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard (£250.00)
Memory: Crucial Pro Overclocking 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL40 Memory (£179.99)
Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£266.35)
Case: Lian Li A3-mATX MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£75.46)
Power Supply: Asus ROG LOKI 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply (£177.72)
Total: £1254.51
