How to Make a Mini Pool Table

Playing pool is a lot of fun and a great social activity. However full size pool tables take up a lot of room and are quite expensive. Making your own mini pool table is much more cost effective as well as space effective, here's how to build one.

Instructions

    1

    Lay a large piece of wood (4' x 2' x 2") on a flat surface. Take a cup and trace the outline on all four corners and directly in the center on the sides.

    2

    Cut out the circles with a jig saw. Create a bottom base and cut identical holes at the top for the balls to fall into. Screw this plank into the first.

    3

    Take four small wood pieces of identical size and screw them into the bottom of the planks. These are the legs of the table.

    4

    Sand the wood as needed to create a smooth texture. Round the corners if you would like. Finish the wood with a paint color if you choose or just a wood sealant.

    5

    Get a large piece of felt and place it over the top of the table. Cut a piece to fit the tabletop. Cover the table surface with fabric glue. Press the felt into the glue and smooth down. That's it! You just made a mini pool table.
