(this way down the road if I get a different TV I rework/ build this and the top instead of the whole thing)  (This will bolt to the coffee table base)Top with space for TV, I plan to have the TV screen level or just above the rest of the table.** (this will bolt to coffee table base & TV frame)Cover to go over TV and table top for miniature and board gaming.* I'm trying to work out how much of an overhang I can have with the table top and not worry about someone putting to much weight on the edge and it flipping?  Any thoughts or information on this?** I'm also trying to work out how much space to build in between the edge of the TV and the edge of the table for players / DM to put their stuff with out covering the TV?  I was thinking around 16 inches but I'm not set on this.  Any suggestions?  I realize this is not a simple design, but that is just not the way I have done things in the past so why start now?  :-DI hope to share my progress as I go once I get started.  Not sure if I will hijack this thread or start a new one.JD</blockquote>
