Commissioning a Board Game Table, What Should I Look Out For?
It’s my first time commissioning something like this. The guy I’ll be doing this with wouldn’t know what a board game table is so I’ll have to design it myself. (I have some drafting/cad experience so I’m up to the task).
What stuff should I look out for when designing this table? I made a partial list of things I think I ought to keep in mind.
-
Add a gasket for each wood topper to avoid leakage.
-
Use multiple wood topper instead of single wood topper
-
Look for pre-made plans in the internet
-
Find basic table design to get leg clearance height, and table height.
-
Which wood would be best value? (I know this would be dependent on my area, Philippines)
I plan to keep it simple and probably wouldn’t need extra features like led lights, cup holders, etc. As long as I can have my board game in the table while using it as a dining table when not playing I’ll be okay.
It is also worthwhile to get full details of any stains and top coats (names, manufacturer, part number), we’ve used our table stain for other furniture in the room, and it looks great together.
