Dillon Hodapp of 1.21 Jigawatts (who also created the DIY Bike Welding Rig) wrote in to share his Bowling Lane Table project:
I recently moved into my first house and was in need of a dining room table. I saw a picture of a table that used an old section of bowling lane for its top and decided that I’d like to build something similar for myself. With about 30 hours of work over a few months I was able to turn a tattered piece of wood into a beautiful, sturdy table that should never need replacement.
Dillon created the legs by designing them in Solidworks, then CNCing dozens thin pieces of Baltic Birch then gluing them together.










The Dude abides this table.
I score this table a 300.
