This is what the kids call "tricked out." It represents 2 ish years of male bonding and a lot of hack/slash electrical work. It started as a simple project, from what I remember a teacher had his bench removed from the hall and we we're going to make him a new one, simple right? well as with almost everything i decide to get involved into it grew into a multi-year ordeal and the finished product had almost nothing in common with the original vision. (IE the film Snow: ask me what is was supposed to be if you have about an hour)I think the only original component is the periodic table. However, I don't believe it was intended to be wood burned into the bench. The bench has a complete stereo system, the cd player contained within an arm and a pair of 16x9's mounted in custom boxes on the bottom. Neon embedded around the periodic table, on the back, and underneath all set to pulse to different frequencies ranges. The legs and feat are modeled after the real thing, one even has a tattoo memorializing a unwanted mascot. If you ever want to behold this marvel of American ingenuity it can be found in a youth room, in a small church in a smaller town.
