I don't really "get it" with this one. It's huge a full 4' x 8' and 36" high. It is essentially a torsion box with its own legs. Access door underneath for the power and it runs down one leg. It will have the brush style grommet through the top. This is one of those projects that looks simple, it's minimal and clean, but that is deceptive. There is a ton of work involved in "looking" simple. I don't know why you would need a charging table so big?
It's almost done at this point and will be early tomorrow. All that's really left are the locks on the door and laminating the actual top surface, but I'm nearly 16 hours deep in it now.
Yes, the Gecko was there to open the door when some dummy closed it. I could have pushed it through the groove, but the Gecko just seemed better. The guy who watched me use it for that said "of course you do"
You can't see them all, but a boatload of Bessey clamps was involved in the glue-up of the legs.

On the surface it does look deceptively simple, like you mentioned.  If only the customers appreciated/saw all the work and detail that goes into the underpinnings.

It looks like a table that you would see at an Apple store.  You mentioned 'why have such a big charging table'... because Apple, that's why!

What do you think an Apple Store is to the faithful?!

Nice work!
