===Tabletop and Sublayer Cut===
This is the start of the table. We are going to make the top logo surface that will later be routed to for the resin Noisebridge logo, and the structural sublayer that will host the LEDs and the electronics. This sublayer will be the basis for the rest of the table as well. The entire table will be built with this sublayer as the 'top'. Once everything on the table is complete and working, the top logo surface will be installed.
We are going continue on making the top logo surface that will later be routed to for the resin Noisebridge logo, and the structural sublayer that will host the LEDs and the electronics. This time we should definitly have time to get out the plate joiner and have a chance for everyone in attendance to learn how to use this great tool.

Create two new resin test pieces to check out more lighting options. With enough people, this can happen while the table top is going on. Please wear long sleeves, and cover other skin while working with resins.

Goals and Tasks

Tabletop and Sublayer Cut

We are going continue on making the top logo surface that will later be routed to for the resin Noisebridge logo, and the structural sublayer that will host the LEDs and the electronics. This time we should definitly have time to get out the plate joiner and have a chance for everyone in attendance to learn how to use this great tool.

expected process 

 cut two 2' 6" x 5' 0" panels out of finish plywood (in progress)
 cut two 2' 4.5" x 4' 10.5" panels out of finish plywood (3/4" smaller on all sides than the finish layer. (in progress)
 The order of the cutting is important as we need to be left with long pieces of finish plywood.
 use a PLATE JOINER to create the 5' x 5' panels.
 clamp so that the panels are flush and store on a flat surface for the next build night.

materials/notable tools needed 

 3/4 finish and C grade plywood
 wood glue
 skill saw and cutting guide
 plate joiner
 Number 20 plate joiner biscuits

Resin test part 2

We will light up the new resin test pieces that we made last week and see how to proceed with the resin pigments going forward.
