Japanese 'Zen' Table

This is what I made for my school woodwork project a while ago.
It is a small table that the top lifts off to show a compartment, which is to be filled with sand like those Japanese gardens.
I had a workshop with quite a few tools that your average household probably won't, but I am sure substitutes can be found.

This is instructable is posted "as-is" - I didn't like to have an unpublished instuctable, and wanted to share my idea.

Cheers,
Will.

Step 1 Equipment, Materials

Note: Size and shape of materials may vary, but these are the dimensions that I used, so I know they fit.

2x 60cm by ~2cm by ~1cm (to hold up the inner board)
2x 30cm by ~2cm by ~1cm (also to hold up inner board)
Other stuff:
Dowel (width will depend in the side width)
Tacks/ small nails (to attach the bits that hold up the board to the sides)

Equipment:
Drill (I had a drill press as well as a horizontal drill)
Thicknesser (or this is what my teacher referred to it as) For planing the legs down, etc

Circular saw - one on a table... Mainly for cutting the legs.
Some form of sander for sanding the top.
