My grandfather designed a fold-up ping pong table that I used to play on as a child. Now that my son has found an appreciation for the game, I wanted to recreate his design. After much trial and error, I figured out how my grandfather had done it! It's a regulation size ping pong table that folds up to a width of 18" for easy storing and can be deployed and folded up in seconds. This is a fantastic design! So if you're a fan of the game like me, you'll definitely enjoy building this project AND playing on it once you're done!

You're so unique Drew, from not cheesy jokes and honestly funny outtakes, to the heartwarming tributes to your parents and grand parents. Nostalgia is so underrated nowadays, and you're doing a great job sharing it in your videos. A pleasure to watch

@FishersShop 2 года назад

Thanks so much! I appreciate that. :)

@lucianprescott8357 2 года назад

I absolutely agree. I watch tons of videos concerning wood working, metal works, DIY'ers doing plumbing or electrical work and it's a rarity anyone mentions who they "learned" how to do this or that. My father would notice a neighbor building something in the backyard and he'd grab me and say we're going over to Mr. Smith's house o watch him build a dog house. When I asked why, he'd say you can ALWAYS learn from any tradesman. It's free education. I learned a lot from their skill as well as their mistakes; but most of all I learned about life.

@scottsweet4632 2 года назад

I wanna build one, But, does your neighbor have any wood left?

@jonruehle9186 2 года назад

I could see this as a lightweight work table for my shop. I could also see it being used as a platform for a model railroad.

@geoffreyrobson4745 2 года назад

or a table for wargaming

There are few things consistent in the world - one of them being Drew's ability to somehow put walnut and flatheads into his projects

@michaelbach7736 2 года назад

Drew you are without a doubt my favorite RU-vid woodworker. You paying homage to your dad or specifically your grandfather (flathead screw). Also your own dorky jokes. Such a great pleasure watching you in action.

@awlthatwoodcrafts8911 2 года назад

This brought back so many memories for me. My grandparents had a ping pong table when I was a little kid. We played on that all the time, either in the back yard, on the lanai (as my grandma used to call it) by the pool or in the garage if it was raining. As the youngest, I got beat by my older brothers all the time, Even my grandma wouldn't just let us win, we had to earn it. My grandpa on the other hand, was more forgiving. So, so many wonderful memories from my childhood playing ping pong. You did an incredible job designing this table and putting it together. The maiden voyage, as it were, of folding it out put a huge smile on my face. I love your style, Drew. I wish I could be your neighbor. I'd buy a bunch of wood just to see what you'd make next.

This is an ingeniously constructed ping pong table. Truly. Your humor, honesty, and straightforward descriptions of what you're doing help the viewers connect with you and see themselves in your shoes, building this themselves and likely making the same or similar "oh crap" mistakes. I am going to get these plans, and revel in the looks of anguish and defeat as I crush, err instruct my children, in ping pong. Hehehe. Thank you for yet another informative and creative project that we can enjoy with our friends and family.
