NICE!!! The black looks good without the paint very Professional,

Thanks for the complements everyone. I have to give a big thanks to Ironed for his step by step photos. They were a lifesaver! Now I'm anxiously waiting to see your light setup!

THANKS with support and ideas from Figurefreaks and Geil this has been a real journey to MOD this table and I wanted to take fellow freaks threw the learning curve with me step by step and Together we will see it develop into "GRANASPLAY"

I will cut the aluminum angle and pain them flat black like the frame today. I'm only going to use the aluminum angle on the bottom and not the sides. My glass panels are snug on the sides, but I might add insulation tape from the inside. Still have yet to do any lighting.

I know that plexiglass fits nice @-44" I had to trim about 1/4" off mine so I could use the angle trim on the sides, but before I did that I was going to add a angle under the frame so the top of the plexiglass can be straight with the legs and fixed at a second point, just rite to fill that little gap and lots of room for the lights.

Well got my first speed bump today was playing with the lights and I think the power adapter burnt out it was hot and then lights out the adapter went cool, like no power. Contacted the seller and he said he would put another one in mail tomorrow.

When I finish the plexiglass cover this would make a great Poster Table on its own.

 

[Figurefreaks]

Hope you can fix the adapter problem ...the poster table looks cool.
