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!

I know you didn't use the original ledge but painters tape at the cut line where you accidentally had to much would have fixed the chipping issue when cutting with the circular saw. Great Video I watched from beginning to end.

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!) 🤣

@LeMayJoseph 4 месяца назад

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 4 месяца назад

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.

@LeMayJoseph 4 месяца назад

@@CeeJayThe13th now I think about it, I’d probably just do thru holes up through the rails and match mark upwards through the holes. I would prefer to keep the surface not drilled

@AnubisYB 4 месяца назад

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.

@Shelfside 3 месяца назад

thanks man! This video was so fun to make and I'm glad it is inspiring :D -Ashton

@EliotHochberg 4 месяца назад

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.

its always easier to see how to use the materials after the DIY, but one idea, use the 20$ board you got as the topper instead, and the OG table top peice as the bottom. LOVE how it turned out!!

@RandomPerson-nd2ey 9 месяцев назад

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.

I made a table like this last summer. The table I got is solid wood and I got it for free. It came out great. Cost me about €100 cause I used quality paint and laquer. Gaming mat was €12 and led strips were free. My table is bigger tho. Good video.

@TorSverre 4 месяца назад

Don't know about your area, but here we can borrow most tools for free at the local library. (no table saw, unfortunately, but circular saw can do the job if you just measure more than once)

@ScytheNoire 9 месяцев назад

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.

@moltenbullet 5 месяцев назад

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.

I said it twice because it's *that* important 😜😂 Anyway, other-than-that little upset, a funformative vidyo all-around! ❤ Looking-forward to 4.0 hehe
