I hope that one day I can have a home and a shop so that I can build and enjoy this table. This is a great design I love the plywood aesthetic. Thanks for sharing your design
"tested the marriage" 😂😂😂 mate, I just came from watching part 1, and these videos are so well done. the humour is A+, and even tough you're using crazy freedom measurements that I have google what they actually mean in the rest of the world, I'm finding these so good!! Our shed is getting build in the next few weeks, and I think making a similar table for my D&D crazy wife, is going to be one of the first projects on the go! I can't believe you don't have hundreds of thousands of views on these!
Oh Zoom, if only I was smart enough to convert all my measurements for the world of metric, but….. it seems like a lot of work and I’m not that smart, so… that’s what the googles for? And after googling “mate”, “shed”, and “wife” I feel like we could hang out and have a pont. No, sorry, wait… a “pint”. Yes, it says “pint” here. Best of luck on your shed, and I hope you get some good ideas from this to use on your own table!
They make screw on ND magnets as well. I've stopped using the adhesive ones, because without fail, they come off down the road. Sometimes a month, sometimes a couple of years. Might not be an issue for you, I think it's my dry climate because I live in a high desert. Not even VHB tape or command strips stay up. They always fall eventually.
That's a great suggestion, because, and I'm not kidding, every single one of the magnets in the legs eventually fell out and I had to glue them all back in with CA glue. The ones in the tokens were already glued in with CA and I haven't had an issue. So yes, adhesive backed ≠ no good. Screw-in or glue-in for the win.
@@withJordanFrank UGH. Yeah this happened with me recently on some magnets I epoxied into an aluminum work surface for holding down a metal sheet I need to be removable. The magnets recently started coming off with the metal sheet. The screw down ones have been good so far. I'm designing a 3d printable cable management system that uses them. They have way more holding power than I thought they would.
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.
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
Awesome.....you earned a new sub!! I hate our current DR table, and have been trying to figure out a way to make any replacement way more functional!! This has given me a TON of ideas....
this deserves so many more views. I'd already bought the plans for the ILikeToMakeStuff gaming table, but I'm going to pick these ones up and probably make it instead :) Very well thought-out design, and my SO really likes your leg design!
Aww man, that’s a huge compliment, thank you so much. I love ILTMS (I am literally wearing one of their t shirts right now), they are one of the most popular channels for a reason. BUT… I do think this table is cooler than theirs. 😉 don’t tell them I said so
I like your handle, that’s my motto too. But yeah, that might have worked. The easier way to do it (that I spaced on at the time) would have been to put the sander upside down in a vice and then just brought each token to it. Hindsight is something something….
@@withJordanFrank I'm "planning" on converting my dining table into a gaming table - at some point between now and the heat death of the universe :D. Yeah, hindsight is great - but you did a great job regardless.
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?
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.
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."
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.

Aww thanks Ryan, that's super nice of you
The forethought that went into this build is crazy. Well done sir!
This from the man who just built an entire print farm! High praise indeed!

Amazing job. Im doing my dyi table as Well and I got very cool Ideas ! Thanks for sharing
Awesome to hear, best of luck with your build!
could you not have used the same jig used for cutting the tokens, to let you sand them?
I like your handle, that’s my motto too. But yeah, that might have worked. The easier way to do it (that I spaced on at the time) would have been to put the sander upside down in a vice and then just brought each token to it. Hindsight is something something….

My pleasure Vini, thanks!
Ah the pain of the maker. Family not caring about your efforts to do something cool for them.
I mean seriously. Who are these people and how did they get in my house?
I’d be totally down for a custom disc…HE-MAN CHEST PLATE CROSS FOR ME
