    Default LEGO Display Table

    My son built this Lego model & was looking for somewhere to put it so he made this table, not bad for a first attempt at woodworking after drawing it in Sketchup which he hadn't used before. I had a 3 metre board of Sapele that I donated to the project, Fletty donated the Minwax to finish it. It was all his work apart from some dodgy advice from me as I was not well during the build.

    I'd dare say that Drew is a better woodworker than you Chris

    I would not doubt that for a moment Pat, in fact if he put his mind to it he could be very good. The more I look at the end on photo the better it looks, the model sort of floats in mid air.

    For me, the fine lines of the table stand out. Too often furniture looks to chunky. Well done.

    I was expecting a table with heaps of colourful plastic blocks as used by little kids (and trodden on by adults) scattered all over the place. Turns out to be big boys toys very nicely displayed. Lovely fine lines on the table, a real credit to Drew, especially as it is one of his first woodworking projects.

    Nice!

    I've been looking at the Falcon for months but can't bring myself to drop that kind of money on it

    Very nice. I have the MF set as well and seeing all the chat around the web I reckon it could be a good little money maker as it really is the best way to display it considering the size.

    Meaning making the tables for others? I think the end price might dampen a lot of enthusiasm for that. IIRC there is a bout $400 of glass in it for a start but I will mention it to him.

    Yup, for others. I've had a few people ask me about it - even after explaining the cost of glass. I think if people are willing to drop up to $1300 for Lego they can see the value of displaying it in a nice dust free box.
