Who Needs Wyrmwood?! DIY Gaming Table Glow-Up

[@WyrmLyfe]

Click bait worked on us! Great job and great video. Don't sell yourself short, that table is AT LEAST a 3.6 - cmon now XD

[@WylochsArmory]

WHOA!!!! Thank you kindly. And good luck on fulfillment, I really enjoy watching Wyrmlife.

[@WyrmLyfe]

@@WylochsArmory Thank you :)

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Great table! Will look even better with some paint from drying projects on it 😉

[@isaacpopp]

😂 Shots fired! I wonder how long it takes to turn into a crafting surface.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

@@isaacpopp I give it two weeks

[@scottlowe5961]

Haha, I’m thinking Jeremy speaks from experience.

[@Immolate62]

It's the "any horizontal surface" axiom. We've often talked about putting a hoist on our gaming table so that we could preserve the state of play at the end of the session and let others use the surface underneath to do their thing the rest of the week. But that's a lot more work than just taking a phone pic of the action and recreating it the next week.

[@Draculord666]

Wyloch lookin' like an absolute unit in that tank top!

[@MoragTong_]

If Butter Bean is a unit...then yeah.

[@jarandus]

Yeah, Wyloch is an Alpha Male snack!

[@WylochsArmory]

@@MoragTong_ I actually prefer "John C Reilly type".

[@QuiniansBudgetCrafts]

2.6?! pfft don't sell yourself short man. That's a solid 7, and only that low just cause it lacks the frills and bells and whistles of a $10,000 table

[@bassett_green]

If your DM has their own logo, you know you're in for a good campaign

[@Miscast]

That's a fine lookin' table!

[@Terrainosaur]

The table looks good. The video is tight. The curtain was a smart idea. The title isn't clickbait. AND you managed to slip in a topical reference to how big your extremities are. I applaud you.

[@WylochsArmory]

lulz

[@andrewdrury8635]

That looks amazing! 8/10 at least great video.

[@vaniellys]

I am starting to believe that you're actually MacGyver's hidden son.

[@FleurXedas]

Hay, somone actually admits that they did clickbate, still an amazing video.

[@FelixanderKurenai]

Looks sooo nice!!! Calling the battle! hope more GDF Battle Reports comming!!!

[@KnarbMakes]

Looking good Wyloch! Turned out great, well done with the finishing steps.

[@nyw11]

This looks like an excellent all purpose table build! I've seen lots of over the top DND tables with power/usb and pull out drawers and sunk in play surfaces, but this looks so much cleaner and easier to use. Nice job!

[@theDMsCraft]

What a FANTASTIC upgrade.

[@googs197]

I have large hands too, and it turns out your local beauty supply store, Like a Sally's or something similar usually carries a variety of nitrite gloves. Including large ones for big hands. Might want to check one of them for gloves so you don't have to use a plastic bag next time.

[@MaxDMCrafting]

Awsome! I'm about to move from my house, so this kind of content really help a lot for keep up motivation and general mood. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Italy!

[@rhino5419]

Hello Max. Hope the move goes ok. All the best.

[@scottlidstone1902]

Project Idea: You should build an actual Wyloch's Armory for 40k starting with your bolter plant.

[@eugenb.8448]

I thought you burned the logo in. Looks awesome. A definite Bob Ross moment :-). The table came out beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

[@kayta84]

Nice upgrade😊 and I feel you on the any flat surface is a good surface to store tings in progress hehe

[@cberg2731]

No drink coasters or TV in the middle? Lol Basic is good.

[@WylochsArmory]

Totally. I HATE those TV-in-the-middle tables. I'm a terrain crafter! Also with polyurethane, you don't need coasters.

[@TheMiniMason]

Birch plywood really does it! I'll be making my new crafting table somewhere in the next month's and I was debating if I do it all out of pine plywood or individual planks... But you just sold me on a birch top!

[@Immolate62]

I recommend against solid wood for any kind of large work table surface. Solid wood likes to move, dimensionally. Plywood, by virtue of it's alternating layered orientation, does not. A 2 inch slab (50mm) would be more stable, but even then you'd have to acclimate it to the room it's going to live in, then joint and plane it if it gets out of whack, then finish the whole thing well to avoid seasonal moisture variation. People do it, don't get me wrong, but unless you've got some woodworking skill and knowledge, it might be more trouble than it's worth. Maybe even if you do.

[@IBAGVincentDrake]

Fantastic work on the table it looks great! I wish I had the space to have a table like that but I'm stuck with the foldout camp tables, can't just have a massive game table set up in the living room all the time unfortunately. I can't wait to see this in some Grim Dark Future battle reports!

[@CrazyCrafterLivestream]

Nice upgrade man, love the stain on that birch, and when I saw the thumbnail for this video, I was like, he burned in his logo! A happy accident indeed, thanks for sharing the new table!

[@michimatsch5862]

My own diy table has a lowered middle inspired by BMC. We love it.

[@coleenknickelbein8063]

I dont think you could possibly know how good it is to hear "make things and play games" again. Fantastic table!! Early American is possibly my most favorite stain color. (color? hue? tone? whatev.)

[@semperatis]

Very nice looking table that is.

[@optimusWII]

Ooh, I really like projects like this. So if you're going to make more of these kinds of video's in the future I'm all for it

[@johnkelley9877]

Beautiful table! You really did a great job of making and finishing it. Thanks for sharing this.

[@novanIV]

I was legitimately wondering how you burned that logo in until I saw you spray painted it. So you aren't the only one who thinks it looks burned in. Looks very nice!

[@techadeptcrafts]

Love it. I’ve been thinking of revamping my table as well. This gives me lots of ideas.

[@macewen1]

As a big fellow who also has large paws, I find that that the Hardy brand of nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight in size XXL fit comfortably. I think they have a 3X size too but these come in both 5mil and 7mil.

[@TheDcrisp]

Very NICE!

[@FallenSailor]

You created a real beauty. I love the birch for a table where magic happens! Thanks for sharing with us. I feel those plastic bag gloves! Hahaha!

[@signaltome]

Man, THAT was a different build... But that table... Wow? Yeah, wow is all I can say. It looks so good! Glad you are back and in form Wylock. :-)

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

Most excellent. Nice to see someone use solid basic tools and skills to create a fantastic table. I don't feel like I have to be Norm Abram to build it and have it look fantastic. :-) Cheers!

[@jackdunne6152]

Dang! That looks nice.

[@thecatwasme]

Awesome job on the table, I am hoping one day to make my own gaming table.

[@kl1thedominion]

You started this video with some serious "Hulk smash!" energy. I honestly thought the logo was burnt into the table when I first saw it, such an awesome bit of serendipity from the paint reacting the way it did. Also, glad I'm not the only one that has that problem with nitrile gloves. The frying pan sized hands life has its downsides :P

[@Rejoice1631]

NICELY DONE, MY FRIEND.!.!.! A simple "thumbs-up" is most DEF NOT enough praise for such a worthy project... HELL YEA... GAME ON.!.!.! Woot.!.!.!

[@ScratchBashing]

*Wylwood*

[@DKarkarov]

Lol don't diss yourself. Wyrmwood is some of the most overpriced gaming stuff you can buy. They also don't make anything, they contract it out to an actual carpentry shop then just slap their logo on it. If you made the plans yourself you could probably get the same table made by a carpenter for half the price. Your table looks fantastic, great work.

[@TerrainTronics]

Wait, I thought the logo was going to be backlit? I misread the title. dangit. :/ -- Awesome video by the way! :)

[@sgt-slag]

Using Pine (even furniture grade), is not the best option, as it is a soft wood. Hickory is my wood of choice: close in price to Oak; finer, smoother grain; takes any color stain you throw at it; harder, and stronger, than Oak! The Birch Plywood is an excellent choice: plywood will not warp; no need to glue 3-4 inch wide strips, flipped grain-wise, to avoid warpage -- then planed smooth, very labor intensive; Birch will accept any color stain. You could also use Birch Plywood on the edges, and incorporate the plywood layered seams into your edge design. Plywood edges would be more durable than Pine. I hope it lasts a long time for you, in spite of my comments. Nice, basic tabletop, inexpensive, and pretty quick to build. Cheers!

[@daisykid3]

What a glow up! I actually thought your logo was wood burned at first glance so you really did get lucky with that spray paint! Click bait worked on me haha, great job!

[@HenryETaylor]

Wonderful design. Very similar to my favorite wood finish which is (General Finishes) Danish Teak stain and Arm-R-Seal Satin Topcoat on Birch. You might also want to round over the bottom edge of your pine sides as well. Knees hate sharp edges almost as much as elbows. Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

[@SeanvanderM]

Nitril gloves were impossible to find here in the past year, just managed to find a box of large ones last week, thankfully no more vinyl gloves for me.

[@Balmong7-y4s]

I'm gonna need some schematics for how to build the table in the first place. I'm heavily considering making my own to go with my 4x4 TV screen table. So I can have DnD on the TV and 40k on the 8x4

[@marathuzula9024]

Mmmmm DM slyly looks at the adventuring party... I made this... For the Greater Good!!!! Roll Initiative.

[@jondo4210]

Good way to spend the weekend! Very well done! Ugh, my group is about to go from 4 to 5 people... That's my limit. Wouldn't be able to get anything accomplished with any more than that. lol

[@negotiableaffections]

Super-sweet table Bill, but if you so much as put an unopened bottle of agrax earthshade down on it.....you're grounded! (oh, wait...we're all grounded right now) at least throw a tarp over it then!

[@Drow1342]

Nice job 👍👍...Finished mine a few months ago... came out nice...

[@WylochsArmory]

Can I see it?

[@Drow1342]

@@WylochsArmory sent it to you in a Facebook DM ... I saw your comment back, thank you for the kind words

[@DS-sh5we]

Table looks great, but quick tip for your next table...prep the wood with a pre-stain wood conditioner before you stain it and the you'll get a better finish, no "blotchyness".

[@MyklCarlton]

Wonderful! Have you considered edging the top surface with soft foam cushion? Something comfortable to lean on and a barrier for the inevitable dice explosions? Adam Savage did a one day build poker table with soft edging if you need a reference.

[@freckledcatcreations]

it came out absolutely beautiful Wyloch, great job :D

[@Immolate62]

On the next one, I recommend putting on gloss poly on the initial coats and then satin or whatever on the last coat. Otherwise, each subsequent coat of poly will add a degree of opaqueness that is cumulative with the prior coats. It turned out great though. On the trestle, it looked like the bottom shelf was unsupported. If so, you might want to put some 2x4 supports down there to keep it from buckling.

[@YuriZahn]

Awesome... nothing like building your own gaming table. Well, my wife made mine... Looks awesome!!

[@WuschelofDespair]

Yeah I mean for current D&D groups you only need a desk and a computer haha. Let’s hope we can play games in person again next year, really not counting on this year to be honest. Nice work on the table, too big and beefy for my taste but I can see how this is beneficial for miniature tabletop gaming.

[@VidJunkie63]

Nice change of pace, video ... and it, too, supports the adage that no project survives without an expansion of work ... nice looking work. Thank you for sharing this.

[@demetrinight5924]

I would recommend some Dollar Store plastic tablecloths for the inevitable need for a drying space for upcoming projects.

[@chancemcclendon3906]

as a person who has built a lot of my furniture, I still bought an mgt for the fit and finish. but this looks dope af

[@timetravelsmurf]

Love the table! Love the Logo on it! Not a fan of the wifebeater-shirt tho. Show your guns, but not like this ;-)

[@lornevirgin410]

Check at Harbor Freight for nitrile gloves, they carry an XL that fits my neanderthal paws. Handy for resin printing, painting, etc

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Great Job!

[@Bluecho4]

Sweet table. Excellent glow-up. Or should we say "gloss-up"?

[@samprastherabbit]

TIL Wyloch knows far, far more about carpentry than me lol You truly are the master of all crafts! That table looks spectacular

[@Fox01313]

Looks great! Hopefully I can get to a bigger place at some point to enjoy having a table like this.

[@AzraelThanatos]

So...how long until your players show up with their heavy, metal dice to leave some gouges....

[@knightterrain6936]

Looking good bro!

[@FantasyApprentice]

that table looks amazing, you have so much talent. Thanks for sharing your amazing projects

[@gsgidney]

Amazing as usual!

[@Shironokaminari]

Looking Good. Good luck with "A Lot of Forearm Action' Cheers

[@mmanoraa]

You should make some fancy hard wood bice box frames that have felted bottoms so you can hear that nice rattle on the table and not scuff the finish.

[@MoragTong_]

Whoa...lotta calories in that pandemic pie! Shoulda built a bench press...

Looks great!

That is a very nice looking table sir! Well done.

[@timparks9833]

But will it fit the entire Tomb of Horrors?

[@GoblinsCorner]

Looks good buddy! For the price that's a great upgrade for the table. You know, you could probably attach cup holders or dice trays to the underside as well (maybe to the back of the side pieces using some sort of U or L bracket), so that sticky drinks don't get in the way of your crafted terrain.

[@Fadedglory343]

2021, year of upgrades! Looks great.

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Beautiful finish on that, and the curtain was a neat idea. Definitely MUCH higher than a 2.6!

[@TheDMGinfo]

Cup holders?

[@ArdWulf]

Yeah!!! Birch (and Beech) are the unsung heroes of cabinetry/furniture in my opinion...less expensive, durable and take stains of all all kinds very well. Nicely done. Now You'll be wanting a fitted "lid" to preserve that beauty while doing your work...because You don't have enough on the stove already😁 Cheers!

[@Berserkerworks]

Very nice looking table!

[@goblincavecrafting]

Wow, that looks incredible! I thought the WA logo was inlaid from the preview and honestly it still looks like it in the closeups, at least on camera. Lucky gamers indeed, and great work.
