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!
This type of confidence is what gets me in over my head in all sorts of projects, and I'm here for it.
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.
