However, it's a good starting point, good job.:)
And welcome to The Cold Dark Room.
Grab an armadillo to sit on, watch out for flying jellyfish and the One-legged Pirate will fetch you a drink.
Wibble.;)
I shall make sure to have some shelter
I can't see properly, but does he have a water dish and food plate in there ?
A hide and some cuttlefish bone ?
Some spider plants or the like could make it more interesting.
make sure the lamp point s directly downwards, not at an angle and that it is securely fixed, not with a clamp as these can fail and cause fires.
Only problem is heating the table up but I think I can solve this

The problem you might have with an open table is humidity.
You really need a closed chamber.
That will keep in heat and essential humidity.
I mist his enclosure every morning like 'morning dew' and I keep his hides moist so I'm not too worried I have a very humid room as well

I am also going to add a hinged door lid to one end of his table

Good, but misting is rarely enough.
Pour water direct into the corners and mix in by hand to achieve a nice moist, but not wet substrate.
But you must keep the temps up.
Warm and moist = healthy tortoise.
Cold and damp = sick tortoise.
