Adding for site content - Keep in mind up to this point I had never used a power tool or built a single thing in my life - If I can do it anyone can.

Nothing special but just wanted to post some pictures of my first table that I built back in 05'. Some of you would have seen this back in the day.

Was able to build for just under $200 CND in just about 7 hours. I had access to alot of discounts.

Sweet! This was an inspiration to me.

Thanks! I am finally going to start my table. No more procrastinating. Joined SKPF in January of '05 and have had my cloth and foam for two years.

After 2 months when I built my 2nd table ...

Table one was resurfaced to this:

The blue cloth then when to table #2

And then approx 2 years later I re did table #1 again and this is the playing surface today.
