Question

What should the dimensions of the table legs be?

Community Answer

For Wargames like 40K or Warmachine where players will be standing and bending over the table, the playing surface should be 36 inches from the ground. For RPGs like Pathfinder where players will be sitting, the playing surface should be 30 inches from the ground.

Question

With the felt, could I staple instead of glue?

Community Answer

You can, and this would definitely come in handy if you want to change the color of the felt later on. Just be sure to use a good staple gun so that the felt doesn't come loose between uses.

Question

How expensive is it to make a table?

Mr c

Top Answerer

The cost of making a table can vary widely depending on factors like the type of wood used, the size and design of the table, and any additional materials or tools needed. Generally, making a basic table from affordable materials like pine or plywood can be relatively inexpensive, especially if you already have some tools on hand. However, if you choose higher-quality hardwoods or intricate designs, the cost can increase significantly. Additionally, you'll need to consider the cost of finishing materials like varnish or paint.
