Step 1: Design
If not obvious, the intent is to make this table appear to look like the cutaway of an unguided bomb.
The table is made from three pieces - the base (2 parts) and a top.
I left some holes in the center area to allow an alarm clock cord to pass through.

Step 2: Laser Cut!
Attached is a DXF File of the parts.
You should cut/chop and scale the file to fit your equipment.
For the curious, the girl hugging the bomb is a Banksy piece as seen here.

You put the lime in the coconut and shake them all up.
The base parts slip into each other. The top fits as seen in the intro step. Everything is held by friction.
My feedback is - this table is a little tall to be used as a night stand unless you're sleeping in a hammock. In case of hammock, be sure to place the table far enough away as not to knock it while swinging about.

Step 4: Move House
When it's time to move, disassemble and flat pack.
A few bits of tape will hold the parts together safely.
Currently this table lives in it's flat pack form as my new room does not have a space for this table. Perhaps in my next move it will have a home.

I just signed up again after a long hiatus and its great. If you sign up, tell them Taylor Alexander referred you and I'll get a nice free class coupon. :)
For the lazier among us, Ponoko in Oakland will laser stuff for you and mail it your way.
I'll have to track down the file I used to actually cut - I can't remember where it ended up...
P.S. great design!
Is there a hobby shop at your base? My last base had a pretty decent one with hourly rentals of space and equipment, as well as people who could give advice (but not touch projects). I used the auto part mostly, but the prices were very reasonable, even as an E2.
Have you read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", by Adams?
I've recently read "Last To See" which is a Nonfiction by Adams, and still hilarious and then a little sad as at least one of the species in the book has since gone extinct (that book is 20 years old :p).
I'm going to start "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" soon too but, I want to finish some Philip K. Dick stories first....

You should totally post the chair :)
I like the idea of posting the directions for the chair. Maybe I can make it Instructable number two.

Smaller bed space just means you'll have to have more parts that get assembled... There's nothing wrong with machine screws - make it a feaature of the design :)
The graphic was laser etched :)
Welcome back to the land of the posting, by the way. It's been too long.
