Project Information
I made my first table!
I've always loved resin river tables, and I've used epoxy resin for art and jewelry but never on this scale before. It turned out stunning.. plenty of imperfections but I still absolutely love it.
I used East Coast Resin and a live edge walnut slab. I do electronics projects in "real life" so I couldn't help but add a bunch of LEDs underneath, controlled by a microcontroller so they slowly color-shift and animate through a rainbow.
I made a DIY build tutorial focusing on techniques for soldering together the NeoPixels and electronics to make it glow. Build tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/glowing-neopixel-resin-river-table
The legs are laser cut from birch plywood and stained to match the tabletop. Every time I go into my dining room I dance a little jig. Please let me know what you think!
