A while back, my wife's boss was working on some cool adjustable height chair-desks. One of the desktops he'd cut, had some minor chips on the top, along the cut edge, which made it unsuitable for his final product. He put the blemished piece out for the trash, and I decided it was much too nice a piece of wood to send to the landfill. I grabbed it, thinking I'd figure out a good use for it.
I decided to install three short, adjustable legs on it, to use as a helipad for RC helicopters and drones. With the adjustable legs, I can level the top surface so the gyros can initialize properly, and it'll keep the craft up out of the dirt.
I still need to do a bit more sanding along the cut edge, and then I'll likely give it a coat or two of polyurethane finish to seal and protect the wood.
