Mar 11 2008Space Invader Coffee Table On Craigslist
Some guy made a Space Invader themed coffee table and is now selling it on Craigslist. He's asking $450, which is expensive. He has the list of materials he used on his website and apparently the thing cost him $415.59 to build. Which is also expensive. I'd be tempted to make one if I could do it for around $100. Maybe I can. The seller is getting rid of this table because he "had another clever idea for a coffee table and no room for two of them." Now the real question is "What the hell is this other awesome table he has up his sleeve?" Do you think it's going to be Zelda themed? Because man that would be AWE-to the-SOME. Possibly even more awesome than Zelda girl, just way flatter.
A couple more pictures after the jump.

This is about the shittiest tile job i've ever seen! Y didn't he use those little cross tile spacers?? I did a 3' square coffee table as a chess board for a *large* chess set, used Stix-all to adhere the tile, then grouted it - I think my total cost was about $20 & it took me about 2 hours total...
But $450 for this junk???? Nice idea, BAD execution.

Well put #3, good try, I'm sure the second attempt will be better. Use spacers.

Yea that is a pretty shit-tastic tile job. I have seen better tile work at the public hobo bathroom downtown.
This guy fails

he fails, not because the table is poorly built, but because he keeps his guitar so close to the fireplace...which, unless he's jimi hendrix - should not happen - ever.
