I know we have a Lego collection/display thread - but this did not seem to really fit that topic. Also, though this could be in the general theme, I really only post here and think it best applies to the folks here. Also, with all the mechanical/industrial-looking elements in the technic line I think this applies better than with regular Lego elements. Jim - if you disagree feel free to move this topic. I am still far away from my dream of building a real hobby/lego room, not for financial reasons but for geographic stability (Military therefore I move frequently). Right now I live in Korea and I live right next to a wonderful store that sells beautiful wood slabs (completely legal, they have license for each piece they sell). By now many have probably seen something like the below. "river" table, or resin tables. They are all over on pinterest, google photos, or other sites. Here are a few pics below but if this is new to you just google and you'll get tons of examples. These tables have the exact feel and look that I am going for in my future lego/hobby room. It will have a steampunk and industrial feel, with lots of natural wood, steel, and other metal features. I recently bought two large slabs and was thinking of fixing them not with resin in the middle like these river tables, but with like metal rods or something like that. However, then I thought of this idea. Buy one large slab, place it beneath, then place two, ends that are naturally mismatched slabs above with a grove in the middle that meets at both ends. It would be easy to affix them together at the ends with industrial, stylish brackets, leaving the groove intact. Something like the below. The slab below serves as the bottom - you get the idea. Instead of filling it with resin or other filler, fill it with Lego. Use it as a functional, but also good looking table. IMO - a great example of both function and form. The elements could not spill to the floor when rummaging for parts, and the groove is still narrow enough that what you are building is not likely to fall into it. The below are just shelves, not the actual slabs, I wanted to just image the thing with the shelves I had already bought. So the real thing will be larger. Thoughts?
