Home Games and Tables

[NUCKING_FUTS_4]

Hi,

For a while now I've been playing regular home games with friends. disappointed with the experience of a cloth over a kitchen table. I wanted something more.

A little project was in order. It appears to be a popular thing to do as plans, ideas, examples abound on the net.

Build a table.

It certainly adds to the experience.

This is construction finshed and ready to play. Cosmetically I may add something on the cloth and with 2 spares I could have a change also.

Any suggestions?
Anyone else do it DIY?

Spread over about 3 weeks, had to wait for the cloth at one stage. Apart from that most was smooth, especially the skin on my fingers when i'd finished stretching the rail. I'm not joking they were bleeding despite my attempts.. Most of the time was spent coating the wood, I tested a number of finishes till i was happy.

Worth it at end. The rail I think looks well, and the cards glide on that cloth!!

Not whilst actually constructing it , but it breaks down into 4 pieces for ease of transport and storage.

The rail, felt insert, racetrack, and base.

It won't be hard to get some detailed photos as its down at present. I'll post the pics and do my best to explain the how's and whys, material etc.

Keep an eye on this thread.
