The French design studio Harow designed a table with the help of digital files from the NASA archives, which mimics the actual topology of the lunar surface. The Apollo 11 Table has a molded glass fiber plate in the shape of a lunar crater. This thick segment is covered by a layer of resin that allows you to fully see the dips and crevices while covering the uneven terrain. The brass and aluminum alloy feet also pay homage to the many Apollo missions that reinterpret the original landing sites of the Lunar Excursion Module in a modern way.
So I wanted to make one of those river tables that have been so popular lately. I started my search, found some ideas and tried to keep costs as low as possible. Epoxy is expensive !! In my search I found out that I could use a cheaper alternative, Bondo Glass Fiber Resin.
In the next steps I will show you how you can not make a river table, and the experience I have had with this project that has become from the river to a bacon in my garden.
I hope you like it.
