SuperPly Gaming Table - Part 3: Leaves, Lights & Accessories
PART 3 (of 3) Yes, the end is in sight! If you're watching this you're probably actually trying to build this thing, and I commend and pity you. Just kidding, we're having fun! Like my Granny always said, "You need to spend fun to make fun". What a Granny! Anyways, in this video we will create the table leaves, install the electronics, put in the rail system and the accessories, build a play surface out of speed cloth, and tie up any other loose-ends. It's all happening!

      Oh wow, that is lovely of you to say, thank you so much! And I’m with you on pocket holes, but as far as that goes it’s really only used on the interior bracing, and pretty minimally; almost more to act like clamps to help the glue dry and reinforce. Structurally the weight is all in the legs which are laminated, and the main play surface sits in a groove, so pocket screws aren’t doing any heavy lifting if that makes you feel any better. But thank you for the kind words and for taking a chance on the plans, I really appreciate it!

    Oh snap.. those legs are brilliant. And everything with the leaves is super smart as well. Personally I would have made the game surface deeper but that's just preference. I'm glad plywood is catching on because personally I genuinely prefer it to the look of regular wood.

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 3 месяца назад

      Thank you sir! So in the plans one of the only changes I made after I built mine was to add a 1/2" more depth to the vault. I spent a lot of time debating between leg room under the table vs how high the surface is so it's not too high for kids, and after building it felt like the leg room is perfect (wouldn't want the table to be any lower) but that I could squeeze out a little more height to the vault so I did (in the plans). And yeah some people have shown me pics of finished builds with dark stained ply, some have painted the whole thing (I saw a white one with brass accents that looked great) and then some substituted hardwood for parts if it. It's obviously up to you, but using only ply helps limit any wood movement and is built to all fit together pretty seamlessly (and is likely a lot cheaper than hardwood) and like you I really like the look of quality plywood.

    • @VagabondTE
      @VagabondTE 3 месяца назад

      @@withJordanFrank I think plywood is better because the wood grain comes out way more interesting. It's more complex and even has symmetrical patterns. I work in a wood mill and I see ply sheets all the time that I would drag home if I could. Also, I have an improvised gaming table. I took a regular kitchen table, one that had a small support box underneath that holds the legs. And long story short I slapped on a bottom and turned the top into a removable lid. There's a lot more like adding a handrail, making it look nice, and what not; but that the gist. I didn't have to worry about the leg height because the basic dimensions haven't changed and the handrail only added 3/4 inch to the top. The handrail is a bit small but it's super comfy and I have a 3.5 inch deep play area. I'm genuinely surprised I haven't seen anybody turning regular tables into game tables.

      Hi Jerrod. You will need 3 sheets of 3/4” and 1 sheet of 1/2” plywood. You will also need 1 sheet of 1/8” hardboard to make the removable velvety game surface (which is technically optional but is part of the plans). The plans come with a full materials list and a cut list to minimize waste.

    Have played many games on the new table that otherwise we wouldn't have played as we usually would have to clear off the dinner table ending the game. Thought it might be too big but games like Wingspan utilize the entire table so it is a perfect size gaming table. The dark walnut stain with copper cup holders has received many compliments from visitors who can't miss it as we leave the lights on. Once again I'll state that this was a truly great project and the plans were right on the mark at every step. Thank you again!

    Our table is just about finished. We elected to use a dark walnut stain and brass cup holders. It added a little bit of elegance to the whole build. Elected to place the LED light switch next to the Beige (not white) AC/USB Outlet as everyone wanted the ease to play with the lights as opposed to reaching under the table. Surprised the lights were such a hit! Also, elected to grind the t-bar to ruff it more and even did the sides fearing the stain and poly that got into the t-bar groove would make it harder to press in the t-bar. 95% done - just need to iron and install the cloth.

    Great build - we're going for it! Just ordered some parts and bits. Curious as to the grade of plywood that you used as both sides appear different. ADDENDUM - This is a perfect project for me and my high school graduate grandson who loves to play board games. I needed a good excuse to purchase a better and more manageable table saw and this was it. Also purchased many accessories like the Incra V27 Miter Gauge & Bow XT Extender to make it easier to work with a new "job site" size table saw that we can move around as needed. Also purchased a new router that was a vast improvement over my ancient one. The plan measurements are spot on correct and everything fit precisely (to my amazement). Not so much for your superb detail plans but for our precision in cutting and shaping the pieces. All of the bottom 2 1/2 inch pieces fit precisely where they should with minimal or no resizing.

      Amazing, very excited for you!! I used the best plywood Home Depot had that day 😅So that was an A-grade 5-ply, I believe oak. There was a time when I did everything I could with their baltic birch but if I remember correctly that had already become scarce when I made my table. I did my best to match everything but it could always be better, you know? Good luck with your build, feel free to hit me up with any questions!

    Hi Jordan, love your videos. Quick question - How has the arm rest held up over time? It seems like having only the back portion fixed to the table and the accessories hanging from the underside would put a lot of pressure on such a big overhang?

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 7 месяцев назад

      How dare you question the design?? Just kidding that’s a great question. So the armrests are glued, nailed, and screwed to the piece below. They also rest on the four legs in the corners, which is a big help. The accessories slide in right against the table apron/sides so they’re stable and distribute some of that weight into the table. I’m not saying you can’t break the armrests off, but I think it would take some real effort or serious weight to do it, far more than the few accessories and/or elbows. Mine haven’t budged at all after a few years use.

      First: congrats on your new home! Second, more important than the first: congrats on the soon-to-be father hood!! That’s so great! I’m going to be pretty straight up and suggest you do NOT tackle this as your first real project; it’s a medium-level build for sure and will require things you might not think about like a lot of clamps, a router, a brad-nailer, a pocket-hole jig…. I mean unless you’re just diving full on in and spending a bunch of money at once, but… most people kind of start with a decent table saw, maybe a miter saw, and then your standard cordless handheld staples like a drill, a driver, a jigsaw, etc. And the rule of thumb is you buy the tool you need for the next project, and slowly build it up from there. You could always get lucky and find someone selling a bunch of stuff at once, but I feel like starting from scratch with this table would be asking a lot. You’d certainly learn a lot, but I don’t know if I’d be that brave if I was in your position 😂

    Before you showed your token holder I thought it would be cool to have a metal strip or panel that you could put them on with the magnets. Thanks for going through this. Now I have to look at your other videos to see what you do. Oh, and check out your band.

    My thoughts on your build so far ( haven't watched part 3 yet). You are doing a great job of explaining what you are doing and why. I find this very helpful, since I have always wanted to build a table. You could have used the puck band saw jig to hold the puck in place while you sanded it. Not sure how many times I found an easier way to do something well after I already finished it. I have been enjoying your humor. Thank you for sharing this.

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 10 месяцев назад

      Thank you! And you are the second person to make that suggestion of reusing the circle jig for sanding and that is definitely better than how I did it, so thank you for that

    Those cool disks are not worth losing your fingers. Routers are not forgiving. If you can create a jig to cut them on your bandsaw (which also looks dangerous but less), you could come up with a jig to save your fingers. "The dildo of consequences is often delivered un-lubed."

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 10 месяцев назад

      Truer words never spoken. Very little is worth losing your fingers over, especially wooden game discs. I will say I feel extremely comfortable with the bandsaw jig, but for the chamfer on the router a jig would definitely be the way to go. Actually what I would probably do if doing again is kill two birds with one stone and instead of unsuccessfully bringing a sander to the tokens, clamp the sander upside down in a vice and bring the tokens to the sander. Then, while sanding, just smooth down the top edges. Doesn’t need to be an actual chamfer. Safer and easier.

      @@withJordanFrank Yea, that sounds like a great plan. I am thinking of doing a gaming table, I really like your design btw, a spot to place the tops for the vault inside of the table and then a reverse ability to be functional is brilliant. I also liked your solution of using the T-Track. If I do a video, I will be sure to give you credit for any of your cool ideas I use.

    what are you doing to combat warp on the plywood leaves?

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 11 месяцев назад

      So far so good. No warping. I think it might be that I coated all sides with three coats of poly so it’s an even seal, but I suspect it’s more the tongue-and-groove joints between each leaf that is helping them keep flat.

      @withJordanFrank 11 месяцев назад

      Thanks Tysto! To be honest that wasn’t the original intention- it was to be able to store the leaves in the table. But then it occurred to me that leaves have two sides so why not add a little option to make it useful? Got lucky with that one

    Hey Great build series! Would love an update on how the plywood is holding up and how practical you find it. I oogle this table so much. My husband is concerned that as a D&D player or DM these types of rails don’t hold books and dice and character sheets etc. Do you play any accessory intense RPG to help me convince him to build? Also do you have affiliate links for your plywood router bits, magnets etc? Happy to support if so :) Also faux car upholstery leather makes a great surface that doesn’t streak if you’re considering replacing.

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 11 месяцев назад

      Wow, so much great stuff here, thank you! First I will say I do not have any sponsors or affiliate links or anything like that, I’m not very business minded but probably should be, but thank you for asking. Second that’s a cool tip for a play surface, I will note that somewhere, thank you. Lastly, most importantly, I’ve had zero issues with the durability of the table. None. The closest game I play to D&D might be something like Scythe, but that doesn’t support books or character sheets or anything big and vertical like that. I have no actual plans at the moment to design accessories specifically for D&D, but the beauty of the rail system on this table is the all use the same back piece, so you can make whatever custom accessories you want as long as you fit it in the back pieces. You could absolutely have a larger tray capable of supporting books, etc. I can think of other ways to hook something over the top as well. I’d be happy to consult with you for ideas if it would help

    Awesome build, great idea with the t track. One question. I did the same think with a 3/4" plywood for the leaves. But they are warping bad, have you noticed issues with this? I was thinking about inlaying steel track or something to force them straight.

    • @withJordanFrank
      @withJordanFrank 11 месяцев назад

      Thanks man, I appreciate it. Sorry to hear about your warping, that sucks. I will say I have not had that issue- I don't know if it's because I was careful to coat them all over with 3 coats of poly, or, and I suspect this helps, I think having the tongue-and-groove connection between the leaves might help. It keeps them semi-locked in with each other when they're on the table, and that might be enough to keep them flat. I don't know, but sorry to hear about yours.

      @@withJordanFrank Thanks for the response and happy to hear your table top is solid! I actually glued/nailed another 3/4" piece of ply to my leaves underneath, just smaller so it still fits in the slots on the sides. The leaves to feel alot more substantial. At first glance it appears that it did fix my issue. But wont know until its completely dry. Thanks again!
