1X1 LEGO Coasters

A little over a month ago, I made a coffee table based on a 40 tooth LEGO gear. The table has been working well but it doesn't really have a top as it is just the surface of the gear. I made two coasters that fit as Lego pieces into the top of the gear. They are made from oak with a cork inset. They have a round LEGO type bump that fits into the gear like a 1x1 Lego piece. The other thing I had noticed about the table was that the legs had loosened up. To fix this, I cut the end of the legs and then added a wedge to the top of the leg. This helps to tighten up the leg within the gear. The table seems to be much more sturdy now.
