lighted raised rail table // how to // PART 1 (1 Viewer)

[meatboy]

I think i might be useful to post this howto also over here

it's just a small tutorial of how to build a raised rail poker table...





Here are the plans / profiles (all units in centimeters):

I have used three sheets of wood. One for the base, one for the playing surface and one for the rail and the raiser (same coloured parts in the profile are from one sheet)


Lets getting started:


1st is to route the rail. I have used 12mm OSB board (similar to ply but lighter and stronger). I have routed the circular parts and cutted the straight parts with my circular saw and jig saw.

done


i have used the cut out to make the 4cm hight raiser blocks.

1st cut into the playing surface board to get the outer rail lid (the small part that will be attached under the rail)

assembling the rail (the white hartboard is to attach the LED strip):

Thanks again. Your table inspired me to build one just like it!!!

This thread hopefully will ignite the passion in others to build one just like it also!

I see the blocks laid out on the first image, but what are the other marks like the 10 x 30 and the 8.5 & 34?

LED attaches to hart board? Are you using a defuser?
