Commissioning a Board Game Table, What Should I Look Out For?
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.
You should probably ask on a boardgame community, this is way too specific of a question for this one (and it's not what anyone might think of as a "stupid" question)
Making a suggestion for a better place to ask might actually be a great answer for OP. Using this comm to ask as a "see what sticks" and then use more directed suggestions seems like a good reason to post here.
I feel like this community is just asklemmy2 most of the time. The spirit of the subreddit it's "based" on was "questions that make you feel stupid for having to ask" but most of what gets posted here are just.... questions.
Sorry I feel like I'm doing a really bad job expression my thoughts on this but hopefully the jist gets across
While that's true, I do think that you get a decent number of questions on here that people might not be confident enough to ask on AskLemmy, so it still serves its purpose in that sense.
I definitely agree- this isn't 'nostupidquestions' it's just 'random questions'. Maybe the mods should be a bit more strict and redirect people to an asklemmy community? idk if that exists, though, which is possibly part of the problem.
