WORK PROCESS:

STEPS:

Check if you have everything. Sort all your parts and materials and put everything in place before you start your work. I skipped this step and noticed wrong dimensions of the 644mm plate as you can see in the video at minute 5:00. Draw the frame. It is much easier to do step 3 if you draw some help lines. Hold the 1062 frame part at the edge of the main plate and basicly draw an inner rectangle. Fix the frame. Drill at least 3 holes per strip between the outer edge and the inner rectangle. Screw the frame strips in place from below. Make sure that the edge of the strips is flush to the edge of the main plate.

Place strips and draw outside lines. If you place all strips inside the frame correctly, they should hold tight already and enable you to draw lines to simplify step 5. Fix the strips. Now follows the longest step. A friend can help you here by holding the strips. Drill at minimum 2 holes per strip and fix them from below like you did before with the frame. Place plates and fix them. You are nearly done! Add the plates to your construction. To fix a plate, press it down with one hand and screw it onto the strips.

Fill the gaps with putty and grind. Even if you did a perfect job, you will have small gaps between the single plates. Fill these gaps and the screw heads with some puty. Let it dry and grind afterwards. Colour. Use a foundation colour before you paint your table. If you want to do a space background like I did, search at youtube for „spray paint space“. There are a lot of videos, its easy to make and looks amazing. Cut and glue the gaming matt. Depending on the dimensions of your matt, you should cut a 32,5mm rectangle at the corner like this: Glue it into the deepening with a construction adhesive, e.g.“ pattex kraftkleber“. I used a plate and some stripes to press it into place. Cut and put in the dice foam. Nothing special here. Use scissors. Done.

Since I was not able to participate at WORLDS 2018, I watched the stream all day long. I was so impressed by the awesome gaming table, that I asked Tobias Winter (Worlds top16) to snap some photos of it, so I could build my very own version of it.I aimed at a fast, easy, cheap and good looking build. You will not need a lot of craftsmanship or special tools, all you need is:The last two things, you can order at a hardware store, so you do not need to cut anything. You will find a more detailed list of the sizes needed below.This is my SketchUp mock of the table.Here is the list of materials I used for the table:⁃ Cordless Screwdriver with Bit holder and 4mm wood drill⁃ A pack of chipboard screws, 3,0 x 25 (5€)⁃ Poplar plywood plates (35€):1x 1062mm x 960mm x 12mm (main plate)2x 644mm x 386mm x 12mm2x 290mm x 189,5mm x 12mm4x 198mm x 140mm x 12mm2x 1062mm x 30mm x 18mm (frame)4x 140mm x 30mm x 18mm (frame)2x 924mm x 18mm x 18mm2x 888mm x 18mm x 18mm2x 644mm x 18mm x 18mm (frame)2x 614mm x 18mm x 18mm2x 290mm x 18mm x 18mm4x 188mm x 18mm x 18mm4x 153,5mm x 18mm x 18mm10x 144mm x 18mm x 18mm8x 140mm x 18mm x 18mm: if you are friends with a carpenter, it is possible to get these parts much much cheaper or even for free… Feldherr dice foam (4,80€)⁃ Spraypaints of your own choice (depends, 20€+)⁃ Putty (4€)⁃ Abrasive paper (2€)⁃ Glue (3€)⁃ Mono coloured gaming mat (15€ or free if u have one)You can watch my work process here: Thank you for showing interest in my article.
