Building a game table

A couple weeks ago Ben and I were asked to help build a game table at our friend Tom’s place. I’ve documented the process as we took a CRV full of lumber and turned it into a full 8×4 foot game table. Note, this is not a tutorial, but an overview of the project.

Future enhancements include added the bottom layer to the “trench”, sanding and staining the whole table and adding in a few USB charging ports.

I must admin, building a game table, grabbing a few Spotted Cows and playing a game of Bolt Action is one hell of good way to spend a Sunday.
