Nice table. Definitely looking forward to doing something like that in the future.

Looking good James.

Very nice, looks professional!
In addition to Cinda's question, how did you determine the placement? Just put 'em on any ol' way or did you plan where you wanted them at?

Yay! Cigars!

Yes'm.. ..there is. After getting the bands downs and tight, I taped down the edge (blue tape in second pic) and applied a coat of Envirotex. Envirotex is a 2 part solution (resin and hardener) that when mixed together and applied, dries to a hard glass like finish on the surface sealing in whatever you pour/brush it over. After 12 hours, I applied a second coat for good measure. It is hard for the camera to pick up, but there is about a 1/8 inch layer of hard clear surface above the bands.
Other than keeping the bands in the same direction throughout (vertical and horizontal), there were no rules for placement- just wherever certain bands seemed to fit. Also, I tried not to use the same band more than twice. It worked out nice in that a GOF label played in dead center.

Very nice project. I had started doing something similar with my 20 ct humidor, but abandoned it because the thing is a piece of shit and will not hold humidity for anything.
I have made it a rule never to smoke more that one cigar at a time.

Very nice table. Roughly how many bands did you use and how long did it take you?
Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.

Thanks!
I am guessing somewhere around 250 bands and about 5-6 hours of work setting the labels and applying the 2 coats of sealant.
