You got a new subscriber from this video, absolutely magnificent

[@olebrogger]

Thank you😀

[@lordkarkus]

Easily the best, most digestable video I've seen on a DnD/TV battlemap setup so far. Great job!

[@olebrogger]

Thank you so much :-)

[@GCJACK83]

To be fair, this seems like a good idea. Get a tablet or old flat screen television set and use it to show the maps on. Saves paper, cardboard, and plastic if you're using a dry erase sheet because it'd eliminate the need to keep buying dry erase markers.

[@benjaminholcomb9478]

Or better yet get a piece of lexan (lexxan?) to put over it and dry erase on that! Then you can use even more plastic! Mwahahaha! Or not, you do you.

[@GCJACK83]

@@benjaminholcomb9478 No, no. My point is, why bother with dry erase markers at all? They usually can't be refilled or recycled meaning they go to the nearest landfill or transfer station. Though you do make a good point regarding a sheet of Lexan or Plexiglass to shield the screen so miniatures can be used on the screen.

[@TheXLAXLimpLungs]

What are you being fair about exactly?

[@swordsman1979]

Hello fellow Dane, I have seen a fair amount of videos about building this kind of thing, but you are the first to disassemble the TV. Amazing job with the whole thing.

[@olebrogger]

Thank you😀

[@thibni_]

If I may, I'm going to give some pointers but they are constructive criticism. Take it or leave it! ❤️ 1. The type of material that you chose to build are MDF. Basically a compound of wood particles. Meaning, paint and other finishing touched are very easy to work on. Cutting the angles the way you did was pointless ONLY because of the type of material that you chose to use. On other materials, it can be required, but on this type of material, not so much. I will continue to watch because I have been planning to build a project like this for well over 2 years, now. 😁❤️ Edit 1; Also, what you could have done to give it more flavour, is to use glue + Small Nails to strengthen the weight and structure. As for a finishing touch, you take the wooden dust, mix it with glue, create paste, patch the nail holes. Sand it. Over it, you use very thin VERY thing layers of wooden sheets, that will create a very distinguished touch and look highly professionnal! They aren't expensive and require only a small amount of glue to fixate the panels to the wooden structure. Creating a refined touch of whatever wood you choose. Giving it a very expensive finishing touch ❤️ But looking at what you were aiming for, this may only be applicable to someone who wants a Wooden finish rather than a Stone vibe 😅

[@olebrogger]

Thank you for the advice. I might build a version 2. And have your suggestions implemented😀

[@chaoko954]

I was trying to figure out how I was gonna do this eventually in the future and I think this video was just what I needed. Thanks so much!

[@olebrogger]

Glad I could help! If you have any questions, just give me a ping😀

[@thetowndrunk988]

Awesome. I’ve been debating between this, or a whole table with the tv built in. Think I’ll go this route for portability.

[@jaroddunbeck5893]

This is way cheaper than building a whole table and also easier. Very portable too

[@olebrogger]

Thank You :-)

[@Tig3rLP]

This is the input I needed! :D Ty in advice, I will make my own one for sure! ^^

[@olebrogger]

Great! Glad you like it, i have a new one coming up i 3 weeks😃

[@simmonslucas]

The voice over was pretty solid my man :)

[@marksuper4920]

Thanks for the inspiration- I am going to have to build one!

[@olebrogger]

Go for it!👍

[@william5658]

Hell yeah, sick build dude

[@makcraft]

Great project, simple yet cool. I will try definitely try something like that this summer.

[@swingspst]

You put amazing detail into this. I recently built a basic frame box around mine just to be able to transport it to the game store where we play and back. I would have liked to use a smaller tv but found that you need at least a 50” screen to display standard 2 ft wide battlemaps without needing to move the map around on the screen during a game. So mine is a bit of a beast.

[@olebrogger]

Wow 50" that is huge. i would love to build a more static game table with a 50", but i don't have room for it. but it could be so awesome. But yeah, your right it is a bit annoying when we have to move around the map. but it works for now :-)

[@renske9637]

I was looking for something like this! As cool as a table is, I don't have the space currently to invite people over. Something like this I can take with me to wherever we wanna play!

[@aaroncrumbley]

This is fantastic. This exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@olebrogger]

Glad it was helpful!

[@izzmot]

hey ole, nice work! wholesome to see such passionate work. ill use this as inspiration and build my own with help of your tips.

[@olebrogger]

Nice to hear my video helps, feel free to contact me if you have questions or need help :-)

[@MathieuVuylsteke]

Awesome, I'm making one myself in the next few weeks and this was very helpful

[@olebrogger]

Cool, take some pictures when you are done, i would love to see it :-)

[@stephenyarber2708]

You my friend are awesome for making this video🎉🎉

[@olebrogger]

Thank you♥️

[@couchyrick6300]

@@olebrogger I also couldn't help but notice that you may or may not have used a plexi glass board if you didn't what type of TV screen is that?

[@olebrogger]

I have used a glass plate, it was installed off video, but it is installed in the intro and where we play on the table 🙂@@couchyrick6300

[@psusac]

Wow you worked hard on that. All I did was use electric tape to attach a piece of Plexiglas and attach a strap for a handle. Works great!

[@TAiiNE]

I think the only issue would be the scale of the maps. Plus the gap from the screen to the image can make the perspective of where a figure is set a little tricky.

[@olebrogger]

Hi it does not cause to many issues, usually we play on a grid map, and then it is the grid that counts :-) and not where the figure actually is.

[@brentellingson1891]

Good work man

[@kevinr7752]

Very inspiring job! You're very talented 🙂

[@benjaminholcomb9478]

How does the screen hold up to miniatures and stuff being placed on it? I was thinking about making a similar one with a piece of lexan over top for toughness. It would have the benefit of dry erase marking too. (I like the tactile feel of it, and players can mark it up) Might just skip the plastic, not sure yet.

[@olebrogger]

Hi Benjamin, the screen did not have any particular protection, so i later added a 6mm peace of glass, to protect the screen. it was not in the video, but i just ordered a peace of glass at a local company who could cut it on measurement, and then i glued it in, with some epoxy. i have a picture here: photos.app.goo.gl/GXgei81EdsLB3x926 And now i can also use a whiteboard pen to draw on it :-)

[@chiefgully9353]

Nice work.

[@anthonydorto2065]

Love the build, recently something like this with my table. Quick question, what software or how should I ask are you getting full screen images? HDMI and wireless screen sharing are giving me a strange aspect ratio to where it only fills the middle of the screen.

[@olebrogger]

Thank you for watching:-) The monitor i used supported 1080p, I'm only using a browser app dungeonscrawl.com/ just press f11. i just connected a laptop with HDMI and cloned screen to the tabletop

[@mrmaster9801]

Great job 👍🏻.

[@AlQunoZz]

Heya, fantastic video btw! Don't know if I missed this in the video or if u still have it laying around, but what about the heat from the screen getting blocked by the glass, is there any problems with that?

[@olebrogger]

it don't seem to be a problem, yes it gets a bit hot, but i has been running for hours and i have not detected any issues

[@bumgilligan]

Good idea, but did you skip over how you secured the tv inside the frame? Did i miss that somehow?

[@olebrogger]

i made 4 wooden taps in the corners and screwed it in :-)

[@zgjimmustafa6572]

I have two questions but first great work. 1. For the backside of this project, did you leave this open or is it possibel to drill some holes for the heat transfer. 2. Have you cover the screen with a film. Thank you in advance.👍

[@olebrogger]

Hi, the feet in each corner is making a gab at 6mm all around the bottom, and it seems to be enough. I added a 5mm peace of glass on top of the screen later on, and it works great with a whiteboard pen. but it was after the video was published i have an image here: photos.app.goo.gl/1bWSXoMk3NZ5R9w47

[@zgjimmustafa6572]

@@olebrogger thank you for the fast reply. And good to know. I will try to imitate your build with a 42 zoll tv

[@radimbok8517]

Megga cool

Hey mate, I might have missed in the video, what is the hight of the support? How low can you imagine it could have been built? Edit: and how much does it weight?

[@olebrogger]

Hi, it weigh appropriate 9kg it is 8,5cm high i think it could be lower, but i am worried about the airflow. But it is an old tv and it was thick from the start, so with a newer i might be able to make it alot lower. I am planing to build a 50" version but i dont have the money to do it

[@justinrobertson9610]

I am trying to build my own right now, awesome video! What are the pieces that you used to supply power and hdmi called?

[@olebrogger]

Glad you like my video. I made a google search on the hdmi. I dont know where in the world you are. But you will need something like this www.google.com/search?q=hdmi+mount+20cm&oq=hdmi+mount+20cm www.google.com/search?q=powerplug+mount+pc Good luck on your project

Hi! Great project! quick question. What about the heat the TV emits? Bests from Argentina!

[@olebrogger]

I has not been a problem with the small feet i made on the bottom. they are 6mm high so there is plenty airflow under the setup :-)

[@ddeboy002]

the tv should be set lower. It might be okay but looking at it from such a low angle while sitting down sucks. you have to stand up to get a good view.

[@olebrogger]

it was not possible to make it lower, old and thick TV. i'm raising founds to make a complete table with a build in monitor in a vault. gonna be awesome, but need the raise money first :-)

The only thing I would change about your video and it's very small it's not even really to do with the video I would add in the description of parts i vouldnt make out what kind of board you used

It is mad out of MDF😀 this was my Second video, i have improved over the last 3 years

[@tonygant7177]

Why use hot glue & double sided tape instead of wood glue? Not a very permanent solution.

[@olebrogger]

hot glue is strong enough for this purpose, and I'm very impatient, wood glue takes too long to dry :-)
