Lenore demonstrates the motion-sensitive nature of the coffee table.
The interactive coffee tables are a collaborative effort between Because We Can and Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
My wife "commissioned" this dining table: a faux bois base, with a wood top. The top is reclaimed oak barn rafters, stained with iron and vinegar until it was almost black.
Table 54 of Cowrie Cove, the most exquisite and romantic dinning destination in Shangri-La Mactan Cebu Philippines. I cant imagine a girl saying "no" to a proposal in a perfect setting like this...

So I had a couple of things laying around the workshop I wanted to repurpose/recycle. I started with X8 old 10inch narrow rims and 1x old BMX rim. I got to work and had the inspiration to build side tables from the mini rims and 2x bike racks from 1x BMX rim. The bike racks consisted of cutting the BMX rim into quarters, I then made a custom oak frame with bamboo Centre to support the rim in such a way that I would add the rightful brackets to hang a bicycle from it, I added some brass detailing to support and lock everything in place, it all makes sense when you see the image.
As for the side tables, I started by throwing all 8 rims in a powder coating oven to burn all the old paint off, I then started fabricating steel hairpin style legs that I would then weld to the inside of the rim with appropriate reinforcements where necessary, got some tops cut and toughened in 6mm glass that I then made small brackets that are well to the rims to give the glass top a place to sit above the rim in a floating style. 4 of the side table I kept with a patina finish and just clear coated the other 4 were powder coated black for a sharper more modern finish. Hope you can appreciate my creations.
This massive table, recently dated to the 14th century, was repainted in its present form for King Henry VIII (he of the six wives, who lived 1491 - 1547). Up until recently the table was for centuries venerated as the mysterious round table of the 'Once and Future King' Arthur who was reputed to have lived in the Dark Ages around 600 a.d.
The names of the mythical 24 knights are written around the edge of the 18 foot (5.5 metre) diameter table, weighing 1.2 tons (1200kg), surmounted by King Arthur on his throne. King Arthur looks remarkably like Henry VIII.
The table hangs high on the wall of the Great Hall in Winchester, which is the only remaining part of the castle commissioned by William the Conqueror for his capital: Winchester was then the capital of all England.
Made from a single slab of spruce, I wanted to experiment with live-edge slab construction. So far so good! I have plans on making a second one out of a beautiful piece of fir.
After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!

Finally, I've had a chance to get a better pic of this table top. (Yeah for our new sunroom! ) Hopefully, a good side view coming soon.
Game anyone?
