Custom Beer Pong Table

I hate to contribute to the delinquency of minors, but this was a fast fun project. My college age neighbor ask me to help him build a beer pong table for the he and his roommates at school. For those who don't know what beer pong is...ask a college kid. Anyway, for about $75 bucks we completed the project in about 10 hours.

We purchased folding legs, a sheet of plywood, some 1" x 6" pine, and 5 cans of Krylon Spray Paint at the home center. We cut the plywood down to 24" x 84". We used the 1x6 to frame the bottom edge of the table to give it some rigidity. We also used the 1x6 to raise the table level about 4" on the bottom so it's nearly counter height.

He is a hockey player so we rounded the corners. Then we primed the table surface. We then use Krylon White flat spray paint over the entire field of the table. Using green Frog tape we taped off the entire table for the red lines, face off circles and dots, goal line. etc. Using an razor knife we carefully cut the University of Dayton logo out and sprayed Krylon Red Gloss. Once dry we masked off all the red, exposed the blue areas for the blue lines and accent to the logo. We sprayed that Krylon True Blue Gloss. We removed all the tape, let dry and applied 5 coats of waterbased polyurathane (got to protect the wood from spilled beer). As an added touch we completed the hockey rink look with plexiglass wrapped around the edge for boards.

He loved it. I had fun doing it. Probably not as much fun as he'll have at school with it.

I'm new to the CSI linky party. Vote for me.
