this is my new table, and it’s part of the reason why the election image was so late in coming. for quite some time i had been working on an old wonky wobbly dinning table, it wasn’t working out. i had been dreaming of my ultimate drawing table, a work station that had everything i needed within arms reach and for now this is it! its been about three or four years in the design stage and is the next stage in my ultimate drawing table. so one sunny day on the way back from tescos, i finally snapped and decided enough was enough i needed to actually build it, i stopped a scaffolding company and asked how much it would cost to buy some scaffolding poles. after some haggling i managed to buy 42 ft worth of steel scaffolding for £20. i carried it home, cut it up with an angle grinder and put it together with the scaffolding joints i bought online. the top comes from ikea and so does the shelf. its got a useful glass panel on the right side so i can use it as a light box. the skateboard is just a handy foot rest and the basket ball is for playing basket ball.
in the original design (which was originally inspired by the image below of a mans lego table) i did want to cover the table legs in lego so it would be a strong stable version of the photo.
i started to collect lego bricks so i would have something close to the 6000 i needed to work with, but at this stage it wont be viable to encase the table in lego, so ill have to wait until i can construct something lighter and thinner before i can do that (maybe by welding together some aluminum bars and then screwing the top down). until then i will keep collecting the lego.
this is the small amount of lego i have collected over many birthday’s and christmases, and on the desk is the light box i constructed with lego to use in the interim.
