DIY Pool Table
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- I built a pool table from scratch. I've always wanted a pool table, but I wasn't ready to drop thousands of dollars on my first one. I looked at the typical cheaper tables on amazon and such and they were all $600+ and made from veneered particle board. So I figured I'd just build one myself using plywood and solid wood.
I'm sure you all know what a board going through a table saw looks like, so I didn't bother to film every step of the fabrication. I just tried to show what I was doing along the way. - Навчання та стиль
Since everyone keeps asking, here are drawings for the pocket cutouts, and the rail cross section. This may or may not work for your project depending on the dimensions of the pockets, rail bumpers, etc. My rails overhang the cutouts a bit. Hope this helps someone.

This video gives me the confidence to build a table myself. I have a coin-op bar table to rob the slate from.
In my humble opinion, anything you can make with your own hands is worth 100 times what you can buy. Enjoy for years to come. Well done sir.
hey, Thanks for sharing! I enjoy the build!
You did a nice job from planning to end!
Great video , beautiful woodworking craftmanship to a one of a kind end piece of furnishing !!
When I've seen pool tables re-felted (my uncle owned a pool hall) they use upholstery spray glue around all edges and pockets just FYI
Awesome Build though!
Woah...It looks Amazing! Good job!
magnificent. Great information, AND video work. Was informative and great to watch your craftsmanship.
Great job, excellent mechanic!
Wow what an amazing build. Very impressive 👏👍🤜💯🔥🎱
I hate it not being slate. But bro. Be very proud of yourself. I have a 'real' table but for a DIY job, this is very very impressive! This isn't just knocked together. It's a triumph.
From a cost, and especially logistics standpoint, slate was just not happening. It might be marginally better with slate, but I doubt I would be having any more fun with it. I've played on cheap tables before, like the kind you buy from a sporting goods store, and this is way nicer. I am pretty proud of myself though... As a woodworker, I feel like I beat the final boss, LOL.
@@ScotWithOnet I noticed the bounce. The ball does die. I pondered if it was just the response from a softwood. But no, I started watching to see where it was going and by the end I just said.. you know what? Fair f'n play lad. My legs never impressed me. I was searching for ideas to go classic build or is there an awesome custom idea I can work with. I love the curved semi circle expensive style. I've not found a build video but more showing off designer tables / commissioned pieces.
Brilliant, well done.
This guy needs an extra subscribers❤
Fantastic build, new subscriber.. given me confidence to try this....one day .
Excellent job!!!!
Amazing video. If you could cut corners and just make a solid Pro spec table how much would the cost be? You not using slabs is genius. I learned a lot from this video. TY
Awesome!
How would you change this design of you had a slate table? I'm trying to make a shallow frame for a slate table but also need it to be shallow enough since I want to use it as a table
Very nice
Can you please post the cad reports/design so I can print them out?
Your project looks great!
I'm in the process of building one in my workshop, but I'm having trouble getting the pockets right. What is the wall angle and the position of the center holes?
Excellent craftsmanship and details. How did you put the marks on the boards including the mark on the top for ball placement.
The marks on the boards? You mean the sights? It's clearly shown in the video. The ball spot on the cloth is a sticker.
Awesome
So how do you work out the diamond measures ? From pocket to pocket and how deep from edge of rubber ?
Diamond locations are determined by the cushion-to-cushion dimensions of the playing area. Divide the long side by 8, and the short side by 4, and that is your diamond spacing. As far as how deep from the rubber? It doesn't really matter. I think I just put them in the middle of the rail.
@@ScotWithOnet Thank you
You did everything right but why didnt you put the details of the pocket templates ?
Hello, I'm talking to you about Argentina!! Could you provide me with a pdf or something similar of pocket cut jig?
What is the Size of your table? and can you share the exact measurements of your pockets? I'm planning to do my own pool table.
Hi do you have the measurements for the leg panels.
Legs are 9.25" square
Are using slate
