Sometimes I wish I was more handy when it comes to building things. When I was buying my desktop computer (many years ago), the gentleman at Office Depot who helped me through it was a younger guy who built his own computer circuits. That’s right, he soldered two motherboards together, created his own duo-core rig, and generally was a high end techincal user. I was incredibly jealous.
However, in order to learn to do that sort of stuff, you have to start off simple and make a lot of soldering mistakes (well, I would, I don’t know about you). Before I start building my own motherboards from scratch and magic, maybe I should start out with something easier, like stringing together the LED circuitry for this awesome LED dining table. It might still be a little out of my level, but it’d definitely be awesome if you could make it work.
The best part is the complete directions on how to build the LED table are available for free from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories! It still looks a little intimidating, but everything is intimidating until you actually try it. You have to break a lot of eggs to make an omlette, and I imagine you have to fry a lot of circuits to make a light-up table.
