Global Gaming Table Threads and Pictures

Dafyd

I have been looking through this thread and have been very encouraged to make a table for the 4x8 map that I painted on piece of masonite. The tables featured here have demonstrated the simple and easy to the fine furniture quality that I would like to make. Are the any recent examples that have not yet been shown. I would love to see it. I won’t have the place to build an entire room around it with all of the decorations and the B29 flying over it (which I loved by the way) but I want to build a table that I can put a cover on and use it for a table should the need arise or atleast to protect it from grandkids and others who just can’t resist playing with the I G Joes.

Finally finished my game table. My first game on it is today.

That is a great looking table. I see you used the pool table counter like YG. Where do you get that at ? What stain did you use ?
Also like the wide open dice boxes.

I could just buy the rods and beads with holes in them and make it myself.

Terrific table in a terrific-looking game room! Very, very nice. I’m intrigued by what seems to be the French flag: is that an eagle I see in the middle part of it?

Thanks! I didn’t use a stain because I like the natural look. I did put three coats of polyurethane on it which gave it a honey shine. The abacus is just put together from pieces. The rods were a couple dollars from Home Depot, just cut up some wood blocks an drilled holes in them, and the got the beads online that were already stained for about $15.

Thanks. It’s in my basement but I can’t wait to finish it. The flag is the Italian Social Republic which was used by Italy in 1944 as their war flag.

Awesome table PFC Pander, really awesome… love the detail and everything is so organized and clean. You should be really proud of your creation and I hope everyone who plays there appreciates your hard work.

Cheers.

PFC Pander, That is a great looking table. I like the edges where the players sit. It looks beveled so that the player can lean against it. Did you use a planer for this or cut it out on atable saw. Either way it is a nice touch.

The edge is beveled. I borrowed a router to do it. Literally only took 2 minutes. I’m glad I did it because now you can put your arms and elbows on the hand rail without any discomfort.

Thanks! Thank you for all your pics and videos which I was able to use for ideas and inspiration. I think my friends like it because during our first game on it this week the losing side would not surrender making the game last 18 hours. I have always wanted a custom table since the first time I played AA when I was 12, glad I finally have it thanks to the help of axisandallies.org

I forgot about this sticky. I posted in the A&AG40 about the table & room I set up over time in my basement. Jut replaced the carpet, padding & some trim work. Now it’s just way too cozy to come back upstairs. Here’s the link.

This is a great setup, wonderful place to play Axis and Allies - now if I could only figure out how to win more often :-)

These are some pictures of a table I built in Afghanistan. A couple of buddies and I wanted to find a way to spend some of our down time and decided on A&A Global. I decided we needed a table. Not really one for the game room back home, but it serves it purpose well for the excellent games we have had thus far!

Excellent work H20. Looks like a well suited table for the game.

That is such a cool idea. I love the top that folds over to put the game away while on duty. Keeps everyone from messing with it (at least deters everyone from messing with it).

It also has potential civilian applications as a protective device against interference by cats and other domestic pets.

I appreciate the kind words about the table. We made do with the best we could. A couple of guys are leaving so it may not get the same amount of time on it, otherwise we were thinking about printing out a larger game board and making some other adjustments, but it really has served us well. I am excited to return to the States and create a table/room like some of these other superb ones I have seen on these posts!

Valid point ;) We considered putting a little latch and lock on it, but it may have only instigated people to mess with it…

Great collection. Trying to post some shots of my custom table for Imperious Leader’s Spring 1942 map, but need a few more posts apparently before I am allowed to post images.
