    This is the kind of decoration that I think is worthwhile. You see videos where people are putting random spheres in a bowl on the table, or just grabbing some cool looking thing and putting it on a shelf, and I think that’s so silly.
    Here, you have a table with a map that has personal meaning, and I assume the photographs are photographs of your plane. To me, if you’re gonna have clutter and knickknacks, they should be things that are part of your history, places you’ve been things you’ve done. Very cool.

I love this idea, and you can take it with you if you ever move, so you get to keep all those memories. Brilliant!

    Your more advanced videos are what inspired me to make a foamcore/glass sleeping situation for my car to use on longer road trips. Sooo much lighter than the plywood that most DIY builds use. AND, I started working with composites again, after putting them in the "too hard" bucket when I was a kid. All I needed was teachers (you, easy composites, and AJ Hartman Aero) to give me the pointers and techniques to avoid the mistakes I was making back then.

    Having a friend come over who also was a pilot while you're making a plane-oriented table is not _ironic,_ that's just a _coincidence._ As an example to make it true irony, she would have to have already bought a map-table as a surprise gift for you.

    Back in the 1970s, when my sister worked in a boat yard in the Bahamas, and I were but a spotty adolescent, she used a product called "Steel Flex" for boat stuff (interiors, decks, etc) and also did some interesting photo and map mounting with the stuff. I haven't seen those pieces in years and years, but your project reminds me of those days....

    I turned mine into a livesectional (blinky RGBs on the wall). It's much more DIY than the fancy printed ones, but I like having it. Ironing the map is a great idea, it would have made mine look better. I started with Super 77 adhesive and switched to OG rubber cement. But I wasn't epoxying over it either. Hope you're getting some great flying in!
