3. Cut the display compartment in the table's surface to fit the scooter engine blocks securely.
4. Install the transparent LCD screen into the table frame, ensuring it is flush with the top surface for a sleek look.
5. Create a compartment beneath the LCD for the engine blocks, using wood or metal to create a display area.
6. Secure the engine blocks in place with mounting hardware, ensuring they are stable and visually appealing.
7. Install LED strip lights around the compartment for added illumination, connecting them to a power supply.
8. Place the plexiglass or tempered glass sheet on top of the LCD screen to protect it and create a flat surface.
