The double function as a dining room table will help me sell this idea to my wife! Thanks for the awesome videos.

I agree with all of your top 5 things about the table. I've experienced all of them. Number 5 though... priceless! I made the table with my dad. I'm almost 40 but he's much more savvy than I am with this kinda thing and had a ton of the tools that I needed. Now, for as long as this table stands, I have that element of building something with my dad that I cherish and use frequently. Its where we game, its where I paint, and do everything you said even wrapping presents! I had a D&D group i found on meetup that was falling apart because the host didn't want to host anymore and my house became defacto because of the table. I seriously can't thank you enough for making this available, and affordable.

I just wanted to add my thanks for the table plans. My daughter and step-son mentioned one time that a tv in there table would be cool for their games. This year 2020, I decided to build them one for Christmas. I came across your video's and having no wood building knowledge, I went to work making it. Reading comments and watching your follow up vids, I was able to build and make some good changes. I wish I could post a pic here for you. THANKS AGAIN!!!

I was gonna say the same thing! My buddy made me a bottle opener on wood with my initials engraved as a groomsman gift, and the magnet is on the backside so the caps will magnetically catch and stick on the wood.

On a related subject, what kind of chairs do you use at the table? Exact name/model would help me greatly. Thanks!!

Originally, I just used folding chairs that come with a cheap card table. But one of my friend's workplaces replaced all of their office chairs and I snagged a couple of them. Sorry I don't see a brand name. But any office chair that adjusts up and down works great.

What do you think about putting a little drawers in that table, so that people can put their phones/belongings there and/or ingame handouts?

I am looking at building a table, but why are so many of the designs so wide? Thinking about other more traditional board games like monopoly, chess, etc. or card games like MTG or Pokemon. Does having that long reach become a problem? Or am I over thinking it? In my little expierence DMing I am mostly attracting older adults who have a little free time on their hands, or my kids friends. One group does not like to stand, and the other group would not be able to reach even if they were standing lol. Also, on your TV, press F11 for full screen to hide all the computer UI stuff ;) More map space, and less browser/windows garbage getting in the way. Anywho, great series of videos putting this together, and the 2 followups. I will probably follow most of the design ques from your design! With the removable table top I am totally stuck on the idea of having pre-made game inserts that can be dropped in like painting on a generic chess/checkers board, or custom card game inserts for my kids playing Pokemon (maybe somehow laminating a game mat to a wood backer for different games). The possibilities are endless! Also really like the idea mentioned in this video about a slit to hold cards... though that could be a crumb catcher. Still, amazing inspiration! My brain is on fire!

A couple of folks have made a narrower version of the table to fit their space and needs. We have six in our gaming group so we like the added space but you can make it whatever size you want! Also, great idea with inserts!
