This Coffee Table Thinks It's An NES Controller (kotaku.com)

The NES coffee table (DIY)

chautemoc | May 09, 2008 | Blog | Nintendo Entertainment System

Some fella with a blog called 'Ultra Awesome' has produced something quite magnificent: a coffee table modelled after the NES controller. It's able to open up as well, revealing a ton of storage space, which he has used to fill with tons of Nintendo stuff. He's also posted the information on how to make one of your own.

Some people have asked for the blueprints I used to make it, so they can have a go at making one themselves (yay! I have inspired!).
I didn't really use "blueprints" for this, I basically just stuck my NES controller in a scanner and scanned it. I then printed it off so it filled an A4 page, and used that image to measure how far apart everything on the controller is.
The second half of these blueprints where are just a list of the pieces I needed to cut so I didn't forget.

Haha, that's pretty cool. I imagine that could be sold for a decent amount of money considering how little it probably cost to make.

Haha, that's so awesome. Nice use of the space inside of the table too. And I thought that nothing could be better than a Nintendo cake.

Oh man, that's so awesome. It's made even better with the fact that it actually works as a NES controller!

That looks really cool. I wish I had a giant controller TV like that.
