We turned $100 into a board game table

  • We DIY a board game table using parts from Ikea! And other places! We buy the $100 Ingo table from Ikea, which is technically a kids table, and make a bunch of cuts to create the board game recessed arena surface that can hold Tabletop Chits and cards. We buy some particle board from Ikea, and hardware is from Ikea and Ace Hardware! This entire process took about 2.5 days to woodwork with 1.5 people, but the final product has African Mahogany rails and seats 4. Neoprene, cupholders, and other accessories could be on the way. We fit Hellapagos, Proliferation, and Ticket to Ride USA no problem, and we’re sure Catan could easily fit. However, some of the bigger games on BGG may not fit, like Gloomhaven, Twilight Imperium 4, or Star Wars Rebellion. Although this process is inexpensive, we ran into many issues along the way, so see how Pranav gets us out of the messes!

    1-As long as the people that spent all the money/time building it are happy with it, that is what matters.
    2-This looks like a crazy amount of work and frustration for only some armrests and preventing dice from falling off the table. Why not just use a dice tray instead? What good ate the arm rests, so you can lean in when obsessed?
    3-It might be a goid side for board games but I much prefer to play RPGs on a table 4 feet by 5(or 6)feet. That allows a 2by3 Matt in the center and then each side of the table still has a foot for the players books/tablet/character sheet. I find buying 2 rectangular folding tables work well for such. I would caution people to get them with the folding legs NOT at the absolute ends but instead at least &6 inches from the edge, then you can get your legs under the table if you are on those ends.

    Love watching DIY board game table builds! 🪚 I've been getting more comfortable with woodworking and general DIY skills lately but I still feel like when the time comes I'd rather just splurge (nothing crazy, mind you!) on a top-tier quality table instead of trying to make one on my own... but we'll see! Love the finished product you all made! Thanks for sharing, guys! (Also, the old saying "measure twice, cut once" comes to mind as I watch this!) 🤣

    Very fun work, one recommendation that you may have thought of that I would make is on your leaves on the table top, maybe screw in some rubber feet at the corners so that it’s easier to slot perfectly over the game top and that way there’s no way that the Table top will slip when you’re having dinner, the last thing you want is for somebody to be eating and then they lean in the whole thing is pushed over onto the floor.
    The other thought I have is, while it looks like using the rails is working just fine, Maybe there’s some kind of a cup or dish or something else that you can get a bunch of, preferably plastic ones, and then screw in some kind of a post so that you can drop it along the rail and it will hold in place, and that way you can have a space to put your pieces where they won’t get knocked off of the rail if you aren’t paying attention.and you could probably do something similar with cupholders or whatever you wanted to do.
    But nice build, very fun.

    I happen to own this IKEA table model and this DIY is incredibly inspirational. Also quite impressive when you consider that board gaming tables are very expensive, and this one looks really amazing for just 200$. Adding cup trays and trays that could mount on some rails wouldn't add more than a 100$ to the overall cost. Great work, both table-wise and content wise.

    Okay hear me out: You drill blind holes into the side rails, match marking the tabletop. Drill short blind holes into the tabletop, slightly smaller than the holes in the side rails, and glue dowels into these. Boom, now you've got alignment pins.

    • @CeeJayThe13th
      @CeeJayThe13th 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You could even just drill straight through the topper into the rails so you know the holes will line up. Then you'd just flush trim and sand. You could even leave them proud by about 1/4" and round them off and they'd just look like a little design feature.

    Nice!
    If you don't find a neoprene mat that's the right size or just don't want to use one, my daughter and I found success and fun with fabric instead. Simply wrap some batting (a fabric used for padding) followed by velour or felt (for a less luxurious but more affordable option alternative). Simply attach the fabric with spray on fabric glue, wrap around the edges, and staple from underneath.
    We used that method to make a topper instead and enjoyed it. Well... Until a night when I had drank a bit of umm... Water! Yeah, got to stay hydrated. Anyways, it didn't get put away properly and the cats tore it up like a scratching post. So, yeah. Make sure you make it inaccessible to animals. (Don't feel too sorry for us. We had fun building it together and my wife gave me a really nice neoprene mat as a gift for Christmas).
    Also, you could probably add cup holders with a hole saw and cup holder inserts. The inserts can be found online and stores that sell products for RVs, boats, and/or semis. If you already have a hole saw, that addition should only cost about $10-20 while preventing spills.

    @ScytheNoire 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    You'd want a miter saw to cut 45s on the arm rests.
    You'd want a plywood blade or other high tooth count saw for your circular saw. Also, only have 1/8" ticking through and using masking tape to prevent chipping of plywood. It's not the saws fault, it's the blade and blade depth.
    Instead of the metal brackets, should have just run the side through the table sides to cut the grooves for the game bottom portion. There are dual blades for tablesaws just for this, or could do a router (saw is quicker).
    You can get instructions online for tables, and then just modify those designs. IKEA quality is really hit or miss, and I found all their tables a bit small to do this with as I'd want 6' x 4' minimum.

    You know how some tables are like a bucket /a box on the underside? So, just flip the table over, and move the legs to where the table top would be, and BAM you have a board game table. Buy the same table again just for the top and BAM BAM you get a table topper too.

    - You can actually add a layer of humour and fun to vids by being creative with how you do it 😉
    - A lot of people are sensitive to the F-bomb (not necessarily other, less bad swears) so you're potentially upsetting lots of viewers and even losing some :-(
