Keyboard/Scanner End Table-Secod Edition

Keyboard/Scanner End Table-Secod Edition
I've been working on this project for a while, and have gotten to a point I can call "Done". It is now stable, and looks good.

Additionally, I'd like to do something with the LEDs in the keyboards for the shift lights, until then, it's done.

Step 1Gather parts

Gather parts
Going to a goodwill would probably give you your best selection of keyboards to choose form. All of the keyboards I used were donated to me on the verge of being thrown out, or in the case of the older one with the cord cut off, it hit the trash pile, then was reclaimed.

I used the scanner from an all-in-one printer. Find something about the length of a keyboard.

My only disclaimer as far as gathering parts go, some older keyboards may be worth a good bit. Look up what you have before you gut it. A quick Google search might surprise you. A side note, it will be harder to use boards made prior to the 2000's, just because of how they are built.
