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.
