Fantastic design. Thanks for the inspiration and I may be back for those plans when a game table gets to the top of my list. I think the tokens are cool and could be fun to use dual purpose as coasters.

Liked and subscribed. Plans purchased. The design is ingenious. Materials affordable. Very modular, and open to personalization and customization. Loads of possibilities for accessories. I’m not enthused about pocket hole construction, but that’s something I can work around. It’s the thoughtfulness put into this table that I appreciate Well-played, sir. I have shut up and given you my money.

Oh wow, that is lovely of you to say, thank you so much! And I’m with you on pocket holes, but as far as that goes it’s really only used on the interior bracing, and pretty minimally; almost more to act like clamps to help the glue dry and reinforce. Structurally the weight is all in the legs which are laminated, and the main play surface sits in a groove, so pocket screws aren’t doing any heavy lifting if that makes you feel any better. But thank you for the kind words and for taking a chance on the plans, I really appreciate it!

Great job! If you happen to do this a second time, I have a suggestion for glueing the fabric onto the board. Lay the fabric upside down on the ground. Tension the fabric with family by getting them to stand on corners, etc. Then with the glued board, lower/drop that board onto the fabric. Again, awesome table!

Jordan, I came here because I want to build my own gaming table, and this looks absolutely incredible. That said, I don't have any woodworking power tools. Obviously, I knew that when I decided to do this, I would need to buy some. Is there a sort of bare minimum or alternatives for the drill press, tabletop router, band saw, etc? I plan to eventually have pretty much everything but which would be the most necessary and would could I make do with? And if you go over this in the guide or anything I apologize, haven't committed to any one idea yet
@withJordanFrank
@withJordanFrank Күн бұрын
I commend your ambition! I don't know your exact level of comfort with woodworking so forgive me if this is too basic, but in a nutshell you can build most things (including this) with the most basic of power tools: a circular saw, a jigsaw, some clamps, a drill and some sandpaper. For real. The difference is in efficiency (speed) and safety. With just those tools you have to get creative and it will take longer to do repeat cuts and keep it as clean looking. With most woodworking there is a handheld tool and then a stationary equivalent of it (for example a circular saw vs a table saw, or a jigsaw vs a bandsaw, or a handheld router vs a router table). So depending on what you're trying to do it's more accurate and safer to either bring your workpiece to your tool (a table saw) or bring your tool to your workpiece (a circular saw). You can achieve all the drilling you need to with a drill, but a drill press adds a fence and a stable base so that it's easier to do repeated precise holes. You don't Need a drill press, it just makes it easier and faster. You could achieve all the routing I do on this table with a handheld router (instead of a router table) or even a jigsaw and/or chiseling and sanding. A huge trick to all that is making jigs that help you use the tools you have more efficiently- a major one would be turning a circular saw into a track saw (tons of online tutorials for how to do that) which you could use in place of a table saw to make accurate cuts. It kind of depends on your level of patience and being realistic about how much work and time it will take. There's always multiple ways to join things together, multiple ways to achieve the same cuts. This is a fairly intermediate build so jumping in as a total beginner is a great way to learn but you might find yourself wanting some of these tools to make it easier on yourself. And I get it, that's a lot of money to spend but I would suggest that with a few exceptions I have pretty standard hobbiest-level tools; nothing crazy and kind of what a lot of basic power-tool woodworkers use. Again, you could use the most basic tools, but for your own sanity I would HIGHLY recommend at least a table saw, a jigsaw and a handheld router. You can almost always find a cheap (or used) miter saw as well and you definitely don't need to splurge on the most expensive versions of anything. That's pretty solid advice for Any woodworking project, not just this table. I hope that helps!

@withJordanFrank first, thank you for such a fast and thorough response truly thank you. I'm comfortable with all manner of tools so concern there, and while my experience with woodworking is minimal, I only know how to throw myself into the deep end of the pool to learn how to swim, and if something doesn't grab my attention I can't do it. I'm very excited for this. Luckily I work at Lowe's so cost is less of an issue than otherwise would be. I've got myself budgeted out already so by the end of this month I should have a circ saw, Jigsaw, router, sander, and MAYBE a miter, and by next month I'm hoping to get started. Thank you once again!

@@btrkner Amazing! I believe in you!! Best tip I can give is if you're not going to have a table saw then lookup how to make a straight-edge jig (or 'track' or 'track saw jig') for your circular saw. Easy to make, and once you have one your circular saw will be much more accurate (and can be used forever, not just this project).

Hey Great build series! Would love an update on how the plywood is holding up and how practical you find it. I oogle this table so much. My husband is concerned that as a D&D player or DM these types of rails don’t hold books and dice and character sheets etc. Do you play any accessory intense RPG to help me convince him to build? Also do you have affiliate links for your plywood router bits, magnets etc? Happy to support if so :) Also faux car upholstery leather makes a great surface that doesn’t streak if you’re considering replacing.

Wow, so much great stuff here, thank you! First I will say I do not have any sponsors or affiliate links or anything like that, I’m not very business minded but probably should be, but thank you for asking. Second that’s a cool tip for a play surface, I will note that somewhere, thank you. Lastly, most importantly, I’ve had zero issues with the durability of the table. None. The closest game I play to D&D might be something like Scythe, but that doesn’t support books or character sheets or anything big and vertical like that. I have no actual plans at the moment to design accessories specifically for D&D, but the beauty of the rail system on this table is the all use the same back piece, so you can make whatever custom accessories you want as long as you fit it in the back pieces. You could absolutely have a larger tray capable of supporting books, etc. I can think of other ways to hook something over the top as well. I’d be happy to consult with you for ideas if it would help

@withJordanFrank
@withJordanFrank Жыл бұрын
You're now officially my favorite Jordan (other than that handsome one I just saw in the mirror)! Great question you ask! The table leaves are each approximately 41" long, so you'll need roughly that amount of clearance on any given side to slide one in. The room mine is in doesn't have clearance on one side so if I store it on that side I have to tip up the table a bit to get it in there, but such is life. If you have any real in-depth questions or issues along the way feel free to email me withjordanfrank@gmail.com and I'll do my best to make you even more confused. Thanks for giving it a go!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your warping, that sucks. I will say I have not had that issue- I don't know if it's because I was careful to coat them all over with 3 coats of poly, or, and I suspect this helps, I think having the tongue-and-groove connection between the leaves might help. It keeps them semi-locked in with each other when they're on the table, and that might be enough to keep them flat. I don't know, but sorry to hear about yours.
