New Gaming Table Accessories! (also Starbucks sucks) 

Lolololol

Haha, indeed!

No it has to be a Frank only episode. "The day of Frank"

Came here to say this lol

I was just thinking I was excited for the lawsuit to comeback next season. They’re seeding future content.

That's leftism for ya. "Do as I say, not as I do". Starbucks also engages in anti-white racist indoctrination, so, f*ck 'em.

Or pre bend it, like they do with the chairs. If the wood has a bend in it, then you have removed all stress from forcing a bend.

@@lokithecat7225 oh no, you misunderstand. this has to be pre-bent either way. Cold bending it during the glue up is a bad idea and rarely ever done in woodworking unless you want to pre-stress a part on purpose. But if you bend a part it will slowly loose some of that bent over the next few minutes/hour. So for complex bends you either have to let the part cool/destress in a mould or bend it multiple times. But since bending literally means compressing/stretching fibers it also leads to uneven behaviour when its changing its moisture content and temperature. Thus even if you prebend a part perfectly and it is stable it will change its shape if you cant perfectly control the conditions. And since most wood glues are in aqueous solution or dispersion the act of glueing alone introduces a change in moisture. with a miter joint even a small change in curvature or position can reduce the overall strength due to the geometry. So when building musical instruments most of us tend to do the glue up in a jig that ensures proper positioning and registration. It also helps with clamping curved surfaces (which can suck with traditional clamps). For reference: the bending of instrument sides per hand can take a day or two of work. So you really want to make sure you dont screw up during the glue up. Especially if your wood is matched.

@@lokithecat7225 either way you need to clamp if you use most wood glues for proper adhesion. If you put force on a bent surface it causes flex. so even if your bending was unrealistically stable you would still want a jig so your clamping force can be perpendicular to the surface at all clamping points. Which would be impossible to do without a jig.

Nod... Just seemed like they were using straight wood, and forcing the curve through the... die? mold? setup they constructed, which led to the wood tearing. The system they used for bending the chair... backing? in a previous video seemed like it would reduce the stresses. Not sure how feasible it would end up being long term, if even a "Properly bent" piece is still unstable with temperature / humidity shift though... Maybe some sort of Varnish / Sealant might be necessary, in addition to curing the formed piece. Feels like a lot of work for a part that shouldn't cost all that much, especially since you intend to be throwing (light) objects at the parts under stress.

So wooden box Throne

I'm not sure if the people at wyrmwood have the know-how of how to build and tune a speaker well enough to justify the wyrmwood price tag

@@bent1881 I believe companies like Rockler sell DIY bluetooth speaker kits so it might be simpler than one might think. I think it would greatly depend on how much assembly Wyrmwood would need to do in terms of the electronics (namely soldering).

@@jameswest6232 that would probably be the biggest problem with speakers - the extra electronics. But i sure do doubt that they could easily create a high quality-small scale speaker accessory. Might be too much of a niche market

@@bent1881 It would definitely in all likeliness be a limited run/Kickstarter accessory just because of how complex it would be, but I don't want to discount the possibility all together. Plus I could totally see myself trying to make my own version of this idea if I had a gaming table. I just don't know how/what options there might be to bringing it up to scale

If I remember rightly, the chair backs were several strips of wood laminated together and didn't involve a mitre joint. Though, I had the same initial thought, I think this is an different issue.

Heat and humidity changes would make those warp a bit, not a problem on the chairs as those go into a thick slab of wood at the top, but for a thing glue joint it will snap when heated or humid

For real question, do you support Liquid Death, the canned water that donates towards fighting plastic waste?

Wouldn't that look close to that table Paladin Woodworking showed them? Probably less Tolkein references tho

This and the next episode were 11/10 editing :D

I'm curious how a book cubby that hooks onto the table via the magnetic rails would work between weight and leverage.

@@jameswest6232 Well, I'm not sure if the design I have in my head would work on the inner rails of the table, but mine would essentially work on the outside rail. Just think of a box that looks like one of those manila envelopes, with a little tab that allows it to hang from the rail. It'd be pretty tight in against the table, so most of the weight would be straight down, which I believe would be pretty secure on the basic design of the modules. Given the weights I've seen them take, it shouldn't be too problematic. It wouldn't be a bookshelf, because that'd be totally impractical, but for 2-3 manuals it'd get the job done. I'm trying to keep it simple, because more complexity would just mean more pain.

My thought exactly. Carving one L-shaped piece on a mill would do it.

And I may be wrong, but I feel like it’s the DM buying the MGT. At least in my group it’s me, the DM!

Sand!?!?!?! *faints*

@@fishhead1982 hahahaha I don't play board games beyond Monopoly. But I flat out put a deposit down because I love these guys and I'm figuring out a way to make it work in my house. Sand, Play-Doh, poker nights, game storage, etc.

@@ShawnTempesta I hate sand in the house with a passion lol

@@fishhead1982 me too. It's the forming sand (not beach sand). Still, a recessed area to play with it... Won't lose it.

I think the slight elevation, even though really minor, creates a mental layer of separation. Like, layers in Photoshop. The stuff on the table or things I don't really want to be interacting with unless I'm moving a mini. But the the dice on the dining tray or something that I'm constantly interacting with. Having it slightly elevated makes me feel closer to me and separated from the table. Sorry I'm thinking way too deep about the philosophy of this.

#2 Accessory: (Not an engineer) Smoke Machine insert - Insert that puffs smoke onto your minis/battlefield/boardgame when you hit a button ...would go great with a Mood Lighting accessory... just saying.
