I just wanted to add my thanks for the table plans. My daughter and step-son mentioned one time that a tv in there table would be cool for their games. This year 2020, I decided to build them one for Christmas. I came across your video's and having no wood building knowledge, I went to work making it. Reading comments and watching your follow up vids, I was able to build and make some good changes. I wish I could post a pic here for you. THANKS AGAIN!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful in making an awesome Christmas gift for them! I'd love to see photos if you want to post in BGG: boardgamegeek.com/thread/1471747/build-gaming-table-150/page/32
I agree with all of your top 5 things about the table. I've experienced all of them. Number 5 though... priceless! I made the table with my dad. I'm almost 40 but he's much more savvy than I am with this kinda thing and had a ton of the tools that I needed. Now, for as long as this table stands, I have that element of building something with my dad that I cherish and use frequently. Its where we game, its where I paint, and do everything you said even wrapping presents! I had a D&D group i found on meetup that was falling apart because the host didn't want to host anymore and my house became defacto because of the table. I seriously can't thank you enough for making this available, and affordable.
Stumbled onto your DIY video and then followed with these follow ups. Excellent job, and I love the community projects too. Would love to try and make this someday.
Well said! Thanks to you my family and I have been gaming on your table for 2 years now! I had tremendous joy building it and it looks amazing in my mancave. Thank you so much for sharing your design, I wouldn't change a thing.
Great table! I have always loved this table and have plans to build one of my own. I live in Pennsylvania and I'm not sure where you live but I would love to be a part of your game nights. They seem like they would be fun and you sound like a great host!
Youre such a friendly outgoing guy! Who happend to create and teach how to make an epic gaming table providing entertainment around the world. Good work man and kudos!
I was gonna say the same thing! My buddy made me a bottle opener on wood with my initials engraved as a groomsman gift, and the magnet is on the backside so the caps will magnetically catch and stick on the wood.
I am looking at building a table, but why are so many of the designs so wide? Thinking about other more traditional board games like monopoly, chess, etc. or card games like MTG or Pokemon. Does having that long reach become a problem? Or am I over thinking it? In my little expierence DMing I am mostly attracting older adults who have a little free time on their hands, or my kids friends. One group does not like to stand, and the other group would not be able to reach even if they were standing lol. Also, on your TV, press F11 for full screen to hide all the computer UI stuff ;) More map space, and less browser/windows garbage getting in the way. Anywho, great series of videos putting this together, and the 2 followups. I will probably follow most of the design ques from your design! With the removable table top I am totally stuck on the idea of having pre-made game inserts that can be dropped in like painting on a generic chess/checkers board, or custom card game inserts for my kids playing Pokemon (maybe somehow laminating a game mat to a wood backer for different games). The possibilities are endless! Also really like the idea mentioned in this video about a slit to hold cards... though that could be a crumb catcher. Still, amazing inspiration! My brain is on fire!
A couple of folks have made a narrower version of the table to fit their space and needs. We have six in our gaming group so we like the added space but you can make it whatever size you want! Also, great idea with inserts!
Originally, I just used folding chairs that come with a cheap card table. But one of my friend's workplaces replaced all of their office chairs and I snagged a couple of them. Sorry I don't see a brand name. But any office chair that adjusts up and down works great.

You should make a video about it and post it on UA-cam so we can all see it.

The double function as a dining room table will help me sell this idea to my wife! Thanks for the awesome videos.
Hope she agrees!
What a cool follow up video. Really awesome to see the BGG forums with the various designs. Great contribution to the hobby.
BGG is an awesome place for the gaming community.

I'm so glad you are enjoying your table! Give a link to any photos or videos so I can take a look.
@@bumkim5149 Different person but we've been playing for a few years now and everyone loves it. thank you!
@@Rocha1791 That's awesome!
Carpenter, 3D printing, electrician, sewing, cosplay, board games, family man lol is there anything you don't do?
Where can I find or download the plans for this table? I would like to build one for my family. I have a few ideas for different features also.
All links are in the descriptions section of the original video: ua-cam.com/video/spdescYFqIE/v-deo.html
Glad to see you are making more videos!
Just put a small bucket under the bottle opener, so that the lods can fall into the bucket...
Or you can just put your hand there, catch it and throw it out :)
Add a magnet behind the bpttle opener so the caps don't fall free.
Great table! I have always loved this table and have plans to build one of my own. I live in Pennsylvania and I'm not sure where you live but I would love to be a part of your game nights. They seem like they would be fun and you sound like a great host!
Thank you so much for making these videos. This is going to be my first project soon. Those tables look awesome.
Youre such a friendly outgoing guy! Who happend to create and teach how to make an epic gaming table providing entertainment around the world. Good work man and kudos!
I am so looking forward to building this table myself!
*Really nice channel and awesome videos !*
I don't even play table top games but I want to make one now.
I've seen magnets placed under the bottle cap openers so the caps get captured instead of falling to the floor. just as an additional project fyi
That's a great idea!

Awesome!
What do you think about putting a little drawers in that table, so that people can put their phones/belongings there and/or ingame handouts?
That would definitely be possible since there is enough space under the rail--great idea!
You get coloured maps if you buy the Waterdeep adventure on Fantasy Grounds.
Yeah, I've heard good things about Fantasy Grounds but have never tried it.
@@gaminggeek241 Free to download and look at Fantasy Grounds and it's cheaper and more powerful than Roll 20.
where do you get the Digital maps ? - Love the table
I usually purchase from Mike Schley, one of the artists who created the originals for a lot of the published modules: prints.mikeschley.com/
On a related subject, what kind of chairs do you use at the table? Exact name/model would help me greatly. Thanks!!

Why can’t I have friends like this 😞
Digital Encom why aren’t you a friend like this?
USB Port outlets could be better too
