Took about a day or so to build so far. A lot of learning and think I can do it fast now that I found out what works and what doesnt. Still need to finalized the top of the table. The acrylic sheet I have looks great but is a bit brittle and hard to cut.
First one will be basic, but future ones will prob have usb charger built in at least, and a nice power and control bottons.
Getting the measurements for the cut out (and actually cutting it) I should of spent more time on. I think I got the measurement perfect, but I was a bit to eager cutting it and its flawed a bit due to the cheap table.
Also cutting the cardboard to make the grid. It worked pretty well, but i could of made the cuts better next time.
I also need a final solution for the top. I might have to go with a 1/4 in acrylic instead of the stuff I have now. Since i didnt cut my cardboard right, theres no room for it to fit within the table (as in the DIY) so it sits over the whole table. currently.
next I need to stuff the electronics and figure what to power it with.
I started my Ikea table over a year ago but i stalled when it came to the lid as i was due to be getting some help from a carpenter friend, but he’s been too busy
