Wooden Periodic Table: Why does this website exist?

My reasons for making the physical Periodic Table Table were purely practical: We needed a new conference table for my office area, and I didn't want an ugly one from the office supply catalog.

James Welcher also noted that it is particularly interesting to cross reference this document with "Phone call to the 14th century" by Kasper Houser [mp3 audio].
