This is a Lego table that my Father-in-law build for his two Great Grandchildren. Even at his age (Mid 80’s) he still enjoys making things in his shop.
The stools are 18” H the bags are 5”x 12” L and the table is about 30”H X 54”L X 18”W.
He’s the best Dad, Granddad and Great Granddad and Father-In-Law you could ask for. Always helping everyone!
Way to go Dad.. Good job!

Tony ,tell your father in law that he is up for a design recognition award from my wife .
That is just such a great design that it will be copied many ,many times and the kids will actually enjoy cleaning up their Lego’s and other things for that matter .
Great job and my hat off to your father in law he is a great inspiration .

Kiefer,
I will tell him!
I’m sure my father in law will love to read all the nice comments left by everyone about his project. I hope to be able to do this again for him with his next project. Al and his wife Betty live in Maryland and that’s a big hop skip and jump from Florida. But he can all see this on his computer. I can see him smiling when he is reading this. :)
luv2learn,
My thought exsacly! But I’m hoping for more!

That is Super Cool for the kids to play with. Great job by GrandPa.
How is the top made ? Is there a large flat section you can buy and inlay on the top or is that all single pieces of legos glued into it? A lot of work on GrandPa part if it is single pieces, but a labor of Love I am sure.

Richard,
I’ll have to speak for my wife’s dad. They sell large Baseplate's that your can use on your table top. You can adhere them to the top of just leave them loose.
Click here to see them on the Toys“R”Us web site.

Woodshaver ,Thanks for the informatiom and the link. I am going to have to do something like this (most likely smaller) because my daughter used to work at Lego Land and has a ton of them aroumd the house and 3 kids that like them.
I am actualy going to be there the first week of Feb for my newest Granddaughters 3rd birthday. Might try to something small then since I won’t have a lot of tools availabe.
Have your say...
