Goals and Tasks
Tabletop and Sublayer Cut
This is the start of the table. We are going to make the top logo surface that will later be routed to for the resin Noisebridge logo, and the structural sublayer that will host the LEDs and the electronics. This sublayer will be the basis for the rest of the table as well. The entire table will be built with this sublayer as the 'top'. Once everything on the table is complete and working, the top logo surface will be installed.
expected process
cut two 2' 6" x 5' 0" panels out of finish plywood cut two 2' 4.5" x 4' 10.5" panels out of finish plywood (3/4" smaller on all sides than the finish layer. The order of the cutting is important as we need to be left with long pieces of finish plywood. use a plate joiner to create the 5' x 5' panels. clamp so that the panels are flush and store on a flat surface for the next build night.
materials/notable tools needed
3/4 finish and C grade plywood wood glue skill saw and cutting guide plate joiner Number 20 plate joiner biscuits

Resin test part 2
Create two new resin test pieces to check out more lighting options. With enough people, this can happen while the table top is going on. Please wear long sleeves, and cover other skin while working with resins.
expected process
route two 2" x 6" holes in 3/4" plywood place mylar under test piece and screw to backer board Make a batch of resin with a measured amount of white pigment Fill one test piece with ~1/2 the resin and add 50% more pigment then fill the other. set test aside for curing.
Materials/notable tools needed
measuring spoons and cups - need gloves, mixing cups, and stir sticks - at NB acetone or paint thinner for emergency clean up - may need 3/4" plywood - at NB resin and pigment - at NB
