I Want To Build A Table

[scottc25]

I was looking through the sticky and some other sites. Most look like they have cup holders. What are the best plans out there for a table without them?

My thought is keep the drinks off of or near the playing surface so less chance of spillage. I would have smaller tables to put drinks on instead.

Pick your favorite one, and leave the cupholders out.

I agree.

If you really think you have to have something, go with these:
metal
plastic

get cup holders, tables without cup holders obviously have way more spills... it's unavoidable, you're going to have people drinking at the table

My brother is a carpenter. If he wakes up at 7am and starts working, how long will it take him to build a table? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Lets assume he is making one exactly like this, just for the sake of my question.

I'm at work, and the pictures arent loading. I'm assuming it looks like pismeyers table in the thread below.

If it's completely upholstered, and you have everything bought, you should easily be able to rack it out in 3 hours or so. the layout and the cutting doesnt take too long. The upholstery will probably slow you down the most, because most carpenters dont do it. Add a couple hours more if you have to go to the lumberyard and the fabric store, cuz that stuff takes a surprising amount of time

If you have a racetrack, you have a lot of time waiting for multiple coats of stain and polyurethane to dry. This ends up taking a day or two more, because there isnt much you can do while stuff dries.

Building a table takes time... especially if you have a racetrack like the above poster said. There are times you just have to wait... like for glue to dry.

Instead of trying to bang it out in one day... maybe plan a few days to do it. Either a Fri/Sat/Sun... or maybe three Sats in a row.


Here are pics of my table. Mind you I have absolutely NO carpentry skills... yet I was able to build this. I kinda want to sell this table and build another (just for the sake of building another table). Its actually pretty enjoyable to do.

That took us a solid 9 hours.
If we did it again, we could probably do it in 6.

Doing a racetrack one wouldn't add much time. The majority of the time is spent on the rail.
