Build Progress Report

We started the build quite promptly. Our original size predictions were blown out the window when we saw a massive piece of wood. So now it's 2 meters long by 1.2 meters wide.

The frame so far is starting to get stronger, but it will still be wobbly until we get the wooden air tub in underneath. By then it should be rock solid.

We are going to be putting beams underneath the main board to help stop the sag and give it more strength during play. Drilling all the holes is making it a bit more floppy.

But yes, the hole drilling process is long and laborious but it has to be done.

We're using double sided tape to fit the pipes together, it's creating a nice strong seal. Stronger than you'd think actually.

More coming soon. For now I shall leave you with some pictures...










"it was this big, i swear!"

yo man, the pictures are not showing up :/
interested to see what you made
I was just looking at this video by Bob, he made an awesome table but he's
a pro when it comes to building things.
check out his video and instructions on youtube
it's not really gold standard but looks really fun
