Started with the crate
Cleaned up, found some goodies
I tired using the original top and cutting out the middle. I accidentally broke one of the cross members and it wasn't very sturdy so i gave up on this one.
So i made this - note this is upside down so you can see the brackets
And then i added this second layer of wood, which creates the lip that the glass will sit on
This is on the bottom of the crate - Reused an old surge protector, the black box is the adapter for the lights
The videos i will link at the end show how the lighting works. The controller for the light is under the little accessory shelf. I can set the light to what ever color i want
FYI, there is no glass on it yet, waiting on it to be cut to size.
Here a few videos with the lights in different modes.
JayRocka - i was quoted around $60 for the glass. I do not know if that is tempered or not, i just asked for glass that would be appropiate for a coffee table.
Plate glass would be best here, nothing laminated, or thin, or one coffee cup down to hard and it's all over.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
