DIY Warhammer Terrain Table | Great for beginner builders (Pocket Holes)

"I suck at wood working" > Makes an amazing table Great work, this has me thinking about redoing my own gaming table - love the modern look of this!

[@waza987]

Sucking or not is is always relative. The fact that he has huge amounts of specialised equipment I can even imagine having, table saws, air powered nail guns, etc makes me think he is comparing himself to a much higher quality of baseline professional than I would even start to think about.

[@ChirstInTheDistance]

If you don't mind being a novice carpenter, the best cheapest way I know of is getting a handsaw in some cheap wood from home depot in just getting some measurements for the legs in a descent flat top for the table potion which home depot will cut to size for you. Then just get your nails, power drill some wood glue in design as desired trust me it will come out reasonably fine.

[@JoeyC777]

Your non-fancy tools are WAY fancier than my most fancy tools! Seems like everyone in the US has a woodworking shop in their garage! Love the table.

[@KnarbMakes]

Haha, I guess I was comparing to professional/hobbyist woodworkers shops.

[@frankyboi1819]

If we don’t have one we know someone who does

[@scuchtern4849]

​@@KnarbMakesif you did sell this or make other one to sell how much money would you sell it for?

[@barnyoh]

Love the design of the table. Only recommendation would be that when gluing the face end of timber, keep in mind that it will absorb a lot of glue. So when gluing those ends, it helps to give it a coat and leave it for a couple of minutes to absorb. Then come back and apply more glue.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks for the tip! I need to remember to do that on this type of join.

[@luistrevino1689]

The most difficult part is to convince people to come play

[@fatelux]

Great work. It´s a game table every player would want.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks Manuel!

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Dang. Love how clean the end result looks, and the rail for attachments is a great idea. I'm guessing the black table top is to allow the table to be used as a normal table, which is a cool space saving idea. Only thing I'd add is gaskets to prevent dust from leaking in, but that's probably more of a problem with where I live.

[@KevinBurns86]

Great build! is that a game mat underneath or actual earth. Sorry I couldn't tell.

[@florianebersberger4647]

Hey there, great table! great work! I would love to try to rebuild that table. Would you mind reuploading the sketchup plans - the link you have online doesn't seem to work! Thanks in advance!!

[@Aximand]

Amazing, Need to make this

[@KnarbMakes]

Awesome! Glad to be an inspiration. Let me know if u have questions on the build.

[@Aximand]

@@KnarbMakes You should have added little bits on the sides of the table, so if units can deploy later in the game, you could put them on there.

[@KnarbMakes]

@@Aximand Yeah! I need to make some attachment trays still! The slot in the sides will allow for any attachment to snap in.

[@chrisamanda8598]

Nice work, think I'll try this design with a 4x4 insert thx

[@KnarbMakes]

Easy to adapt to those dimensions! You can even go lighter on the legs, and shoot for 2x4s instead. The 4x4s are a bit overkill.

[@MyOffDay]

Looks so sick! Need to get all those tools though... Some day!

You may "Suck at woodworking" but you built a damn fine table to play on. And that is where I disagree, you built a table... that means you don't suck at woodworking. Sure, you didn't have the big tools, and in depth woodworking knowledge, but... you built a table. So, keep going! You're doing fine at woodworking.

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks!

[@Promethevs_xviii]

You deserve so many more visibility. Great work! I'd also love to see how you did the actual game surface (the one that's inside the table). Congrats!

[@mattscheffler4282]

Great Video and Awesome table but I can't find the cut sizes for the wood.

[@argon657]

I’m curious about the war game terrain you have under the table top. Is that a custom build as well? If so how did you make it?

[@KnarbMakes]

Check out some of my other videos!

[@BenVara]

Very elegant build! I love seeing stuff like this, where good planning and execution plus modest tools make something really solid. Still would've liked a bit more info on one thing: How'd you make the insert cover? Looks like plywood sheet with steel pins to line them up. the tolerance looks like it slides out easily enough, but is snug once they're all in there. Any issues with the leaves scratching the white finish?

[@KnarbMakes]

Thanks very much!. There is no steel pins. I marked up the sides of the inserts with marker so I know which order they go in. With some weight, they do sag in the middle, so adding some sort of biscuit system for interlocking would be good in the future. And when I say weight, I mean like standing on the table with my full weight. There is a bit of scratching as I move the inserts around, but I should probably just give it another coat and seal it with a varnish and let it dry properly for a couple of weeks before putting the inserts in. I might make another video on the inserts and attachments at some point. This was one of the first videos I tackled on KZbin so it's a bit rough around the edges LOL

[@mikeredondo1404]

I know it's super late and others have asked, but do you have a link to the cut list or detailed plans perhaps? I'd be glad to pay for it!

Newbie question, is it necessary to prime or use any type of coat before painting the wood? Or is this paint has prime+paint feature on it? I'm sorry for the newbie question, I'm doing a material list to get on HomeDepot =). Cheers Thanks Knarb for this AMAZING PROJECT!

[@KnarbMakes]

Most house paints should do fine on wood as far as I know. Bare Wood is quite porous.

I've never built anything, dont have any tools or experience really. (Except basic stuff in high school). Watching this really makes me want to try it. Any tips for a complete noob?

[@KnarbMakes]

Watch some beginner tutorials on KZbin, and focus on power tool safety first. Woodworking for Mere Mortals is pretty cool! kzbin.info

[@SenselessUsername]

For the planning/sketching stage: Look up the sagulator --- a calculator to see whether your planned build will sag or not. Absolutely essential for e.g. your first few bookshelves (or unusually-sized later ones)... Here it would have removed all worrying "do I need the centre leg or not?". It numerically answers all your questions like "is a 1x4 lying flat stiffer or less stiff than a 1x2 on its narrow side?" [Lying flat = more space for your legs below/ thinner, more elegant; on its narrow side = less material so cheaper and easier to move.] And whatever you're thinking, a torsion box is the answer =D... just make holes in them so it's "storage space" (like the ).

[@KnarbMakes]

@@SenselessUsername Thanks for the pointers. I didn't know about Sagulator, bookmarked (www.woodbin.com/calcs/sagulator/)

If you are going to paint it sanding really isn't necessary.

SPF for the 2x4s and plywood, Cedar for the 4x4s and MDF for the trim.

[@lolitsdaelan]

@@KnarbMakes Had to come back and say thanks once again! This made a great project over a couple evenings, and now I have my very own gaming table! I made a few modifications as I'm primarily a board gamer as opposed to a wargamer... mainly being that the raised sides are connected to the top cover panels, so without the cover it's basically a standard height table (more comfortable for sitting). Seriously though, thanks for this video, it was the motivation I needed to finally get started!

Looks awesome and i love the design, just be REALLY careful if you ever have to move the table! (Like, moving it up stairs or onto a truck and to another place) For a stationary gaming table its perfectly fine, but its not structurally supported. All its got to hold it together is the glue and screws. I know you said you're limited on what you can and cant do (which i totally understand, im not faulting you) but next time youd want to build the supports into the legs with a dado or something like that.
