  • Know what is right and wrong.
Hello, this is my first post here, so please bare with me... I've always wanted to build my own Cocktail table and I did lots of research on the internet and found this website of great use. I got lots of Ideas and I put together from a broken desk a cocktail table. I will show you pictures as soon as I figure how to add them here. I was inspired by lots of people, I could not tell their names here, but Here are some of the pictures of my "pre made" Cocktail table. I used a Pentium 4 1.7Ghz, a Flat Panel 19 Inch Viewsonic monitor , a Broken Desk (I grabbed the pieces I needed and put a cabinet together) and some Dell speakers (no bass yet) a 32" X 22"  Tinted Glass that I ordered at a local glass shop, A piece of wood of the same sizes 3/4" thick and some Red T-Molding that I have not install yet. Total Cost (without including a Porter Cable routher that I bought and Slot Cutter)
$0 dollars for a broken desk
$25 dollars for this old monitor
$75 dollars for the glass top
$120 for a Hanaho Controller SE Edition
Plywood Free from a friend
$6 Printed some images from the internet and then had them laminated at a local service store
$35 Dollars for T-Molding and 8 Color pushbottons from Groovygamegear.com to make it look different and.
$6 Dollars for a Bottle Opener (to open thos Coronas) that I attached on the side of the cocktail table.

I need to install the T-molding, I just got a Router to do that, and a couple of hinges and I will be done, you guys tell me what you think. (hope I get some responces hehehe) ;D
by the way, I'm also going to hide the base that is holding the controller and need to cut the inside of the wood about 1 1/2 inch wider from left and right.
have a great day!
Galdino TK375 Hope you enjoy the pictures of my little coctail table.
