Honestly I was in a rush, had 8 hours before the school shut down due to Covid, and I rushed in to cut them. I did a quick stress analysis on the part comparing 1/2 wood and 1/8 Aluminum. Looked like it’d work and I just cut em. Doing the math by hand and with some other folks here 1/4 would have been a better thickness.
I assumed a few things from looking at people’s table designs, and ended up making my table a bit too thick. So right now, my table is kind of a hack. I’ll replace the aluminum 1/8ths either with aluminum or wood, because I’ll need em longer.
Learn from everything and everyone. You are never too smart to learn something new, always be open to the possibility that someone else might have something to teach you.
Instead of “I’m Sorry” tell me how it’ll be different next time.
Leave before the Police arrive.
That’s pretty much the 4 things I try to teach the kids
and they are universal life lessons.
