Circuit boards with lights in epoxy within a table
Circuit board desk in ten measures Stage one The thought.
Placing boards like these in epoxy in a desk .
.
but.
.
.
.
what table? finally I discovered this table on the web the modern steel legs will go effectively With all the boards Stage 2 Planning.
the Wooden of your previous table was discolored as well as the metal was dirty so with paint stripper I taken off old layers of varnish (I made use of a scrape card for that) and I cleaned the metal the backs in the boards had to be really flat initially I attempted to get rid of factors that has a soldering iron although the speediest way was with pliers Step 3 Building place.
mmm.
.
how would I be putting the boards in? I mean, in what form? I selected The easy strip shape I Slice that condition to depth Along with the observed .
.
to about 25 mm I took out a 25 x four grid Along with the router the remaining blocks, I chiseled out huge items with the grain in the wood the rest sideways and following cleansing it was Completely ready for.
.
Stage four Placing the boards in.
I failed to wish to see any wood inside the little Areas next to the boards so I set In this particular aluminium tape then it absolutely was only a puzzle right here and there I had to .
.
.
.
drive a board down by using a screw as the middle identify of my workshop .
.
.
.
is 'dust' .
.
I figured I'd for making a tent before pouring epoxy Phase 5 Generating a tent.
almost nothing extravagant, just two tent-shaped finishes related by wood on the perimeters strips .
.
.
.
lined with rubbish baggage some boards were even now free for the next move they necessary to be mounted so this was the main pour with epoxy very last opportunity to situation the boards Step 7 Putting while in the LEDs (which have been now not LEDs :-) I wanted lights to gentle up but without electrical power .
.
no cables or batteries .
.
nah .
.
so I thought of fiber optic cable and I took a standard LED drilled a gap in The underside broke off the wires .
.
and caught a fiber cable in then I drilled holes within the boards and caught the (glued) fibers in this block which has a hole .
.
could be the focus for the fiber cables I pulled the fibers through .
.
.
.
glued them in .
.
.
.
and Minimize them off amusing: you are able to see the colors from the LEDs just to be certain .
.
I poured in the LEDs to this point, so very good .
.
on to .
.
Stage eight The massive Pour.
witness .
.
the pouring of .
.
seven liters epoxy the epoxy revealed .
.
the table is bent in the center so I needed to pour excess at the edges Stage 9 Sanding You should not inquire me why .
.
.
.
but I recorded all the sanding so now I am aware .
.
.
.
it took me a complete of 2.
five several hours with sixty, one hundred, one hundred eighty and 320 grit Phase ten End the original program was .
.
.
.
to sand and polish the epoxy as a substitute I decided to pour an additional layer I'll make clear later why I sanded the wood one particular very last time and gave it some coats of Danish Oil > The Final result Epilogue So? Accomplishment or Fail? properly, reverse of what you might think immediately after watching this movie the desk was a are unsuccessful What? Why? Someplace in the method, and i am not precisely sure wherever, the epoxy bought not mixed properly enough.
That resulted in sticky smooth spots and very ugly places wait, let me present You could not it's fixed? that's why I tried to place An additional layer about it all - what you only noticed from the 'complete'-Component of the movie but that didn't help in the least there have been a great number of comfortable spots at the sides, that the sticky epoxy kept crawling up and out so not just ended up there unpleasant places Inside the epoxy, the table remaining completely sticky, manufactured it pretty much as good as ineffective Bummer! Yeah, I was really upset by this, simply because ninety five percent in the epoxy is okay and it is extremely awesome to think about the several aspects in the circuit boards also to Participate in While using the lights What now? nicely, I suppose I really have to get my reduction and see it to be a learning detail What is going to you are doing Along with the table? I am unsure yet.
I am going to keep it for now and think about it.
seriously acquiring it right would signify to make an additional groove at the edges, in between the wood plus the epoxy, that has a router or simply a saw and chisel the unsuccessful epoxy out that would be a great deal of do the job, so .
.
I assume I'll sleep on it for quite a while Although the table might not be a complete accomplishment, just it's possible you acquired one thing in the video clip, Or perhaps you identified the movie entertaining.
In the event you appreciated the video clip (not the desk) you should much like the movie and subscribe towards the channel.
See you within our subsequent video!.
