Valerian Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 The new gaming table is coming along, slowly, but surely. Have only been able to stain the slats that cover the vault, so far. Just need to wait long enough for the Tung Oil to completely dry, then I can put the polyurethane on the slats. When I can get a couple buddies over here to help me carry the table up to the garage, then I can start working on staining and then sealing the rest of it; I don't want to do that work down here in the living area. Vault size is 66" x 37", and the table is 73" x 44" with the slats in place to use the whole tabletop.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 That is excellent work brother! And a quality table size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Most of the work was actually done by the carpenters that finished our basement. I've just been doing the sanding and staining, and finishing it up. My actual handy skills are pretty limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbarnby71 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Very nice, got any pics of how the vault works, is it slide out draws or does the table top lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Incredible gaming table! Looking forward to seeing it when finished. Valerian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's three different slats (about 22" x 37") that lift out. CCE1981, sbarnby71 and Kallas 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Ha! Upon second glance, is that a Chessex style grid map for Dungeons and Dragons I spy?!?!? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helias_Tancred Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Well done sir! My group of good friends still play AD&D 1st edition lol. Crusty Get-off-our-lawn sorts. Valerian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Just got the rest of the table stained, finally, and the first coat of polyurethane on. I intend to do three coats, but we'll see if my motivation stays up enough for me to do more than two. At 50 years old, I did not enjoy crawling around on the floor to get the legs and underside edges, etc. svane jotunsbane, Rune Priest Jbickb and Knightsword 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apokalypsi Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Looks great! Just pay one of the neighborhood kids to do the other two coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
