Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Death Star Holotable

I’ve loved Star Wars since I first heard a lightsaber hum on the VHS copy my parents wore out, so bringing a slice of that galaxy into my living room felt… inevitable. This piece features a UV-printed Death Star image on an acrylic panel, illuminated from below to give it a 3D holographic effect. In this behind-the-scenes look, I’ll walk you through two key parts of the build: cutting perfect wood circles and routing precise rabbets for the tabletop.
