Yesterday we got hold of a sheet of MDF, and marked out a circle to be cut out with a jig-saw. That was a breeze, and after sanding and cleaning up the edges, we marked the positions of 64 holes to receive the buttons, and 64 smaller ones to hold the LED’s. A 12mm drill bit was used for the button holes, which held them nice and snug, and the holes for the LED’s needed a 4.8mm bit, which kept the bulbs tight, so we won’t need to use anything additional.

After going over the table top and legs with first course, then fine sandpaper, we painted them with grey gloss paint.

Next, installation of the buttons and LED’s, oh yeah!
