Anyone want to learn how to make a Concrete Poker Table? I don't like it but the guy has a 5 Part You Tube video on how he made it.

Ah, the classic dodecagon-shaped table. :LOL: :laugh:

I've lived my entire adult life (and a fair amount of my adolescence) under the misconception that a 12-sided polygon was known as a dodecahedron (which is actually a 3-dimensinal 12-sided polygon...think of a 12-sided die if you ever played D&D).

Thankfully, @Pointaker101 has shattered my misconception so I may speak correctly about 12-sided polygons and parties and other social events.

And FWIW,

Polygon Names
Generally accepted names
Sides Name
3 Triangle
4 Quadrilateral
5 Pentagon
6 Hexagon
7 Heptagon
8 Octagon
10 Decagon
12 Dodecagon

Names for other polygons have been proposed.

Sides Name
9 Nonagon, Enneagon
11 Undecagon, Hendecagon
13 Tridecagon, Triskaidecagon
14 Tetradecagon, Tetrakaidecagon
15 Pentadecagon, Pentakaidecagon
16 Hexadecagon, Hexakaidecagon
17 Heptadecagon, Heptakaidecagon
18 Octadecagon, Octakaidecagon
19 Enneadecagon, Enneakaidecagon
20 Icosagon
30 Triacontagon
40 Tetracontagon
50 Pentacontagon
60 Hexacontagon
70 Heptacontagon
80 Octacontagon
90 Enneacontagon
100 Hectogon, Hecatontagon
1,000 Chiliagon
10,000 Myriagon

To construct a name, combine the prefix+suffix

Sides Prefix
20 Icosikai...
30 Triacontakai...
40 Tetracontakai...
50 Pentacontakai...
60 Hexacontakai...
70 Heptacontakai...
80 Octacontakai...
90 Enneacontakai...

+

Sides Suffix
+1 ...henagon
+2 ...digon
+3 ...trigon
+4 ...tetragon
+5 ...pentagon
+6 ...hexagon
+7 ...heptagon
+8 ...octagon
+9 ...enneagon

Examples:
46 sided polygon - Tetracontakaihexagon
28 sided polygon - Icosikaioctagon

Ha...glad I could be of some assistance.
 
I often find myself typing a word, then going to Google to make sure i'm using the right word. I have a rather large vocabulary, but since I moved to the American south, I've "dumbed down" most of my conversations because a "fancy" word would derail an entire conversation. :(

After many years, the brain gets rusty when you use only the most basic, Wal-mart approved words. Luckily I have an intelligent audience when it comes to (most) chippers, and I get to pull out collegiate-level dialog again.

You were correct, that is called a dodecahedron when it's a 3D solid with 12 sides (as opposed to a polygon). Dodecs are also used for omnidirectional loudspeakers for acoustical testing:
