Back when the pandemic started, my sibling and I decided to take on a little woodworking project during lockdown: a table for tabletop gaming, featuring fold-out player stations and a TV in the middle for battle maps. After more than 3 years, we finally finished!
This was our first major woodworking project, and we made a ton of rookie mistakes. I was too impatient with the wood stain, and I got really inconsistent results, and despite our best efforts a lot of pieces didn’t line up quite right. But overall the table is beautiful and it’s built like a tank, so it should last through many campaigns.
Hopefully this project will be the first of many!
Actually related to the post: are you doing anything specific for ventilation of that TV? I think they usually expect to be upright and draw air through via natural convection but having it flat under a table is probably going to prevent most natural passive cooling.
Hm, I didn’t think of that. The tv is supported by a couple of beams but otherwise the bottom is completely open for airflow, but I have no idea if passive convection will work since I covered it with a solid piece of acrylic on top. Maybe I’ll hack in some PC fans at some point.
