Unexpected Challenges

One thing that I did not consider very much but was crucial to the project was the system that fastened the table top to the base. I initially considered making an acrylic or wooden dowel. I started to make lasercuts with these materials but quickly realized it would be difficult to make a sturdy system that is also mobile. I ended up using a steel dowel that my roommate had left over from an engineering project. I was lucky that it was the exact size I needed.
