Pool Table Build - Part 2

Part 2 in the series where John W. Nixon from Eagle Lake Woodworking builds an Arts and Crafts Style Pool table.

This woodworking video details the principles of laminating, pattern routing, and using the edge band bit set on the router table to make the leg system's cross members and vertical slats.

Quartersawn white oak gives this Mission Style pool table an authentic Arts and Crafts look.

Eagle Lake Woodworking is the home of the world's first foot-activated motorized router lift that makes router table mortising quick and easy.

The production of this video is really well done. From script to voice over to sound editing, shot integration and picture quality all make this an impressive piece to show off your woodworking skills. Well done.

@joe65968 I would imagine it's quite pool table and won't be put under that much stress. His construction should be more than enough to handle people playing and sitting on it.

now did you cut the ply wood in perpendicular grains for stability? also you need a larger caul/ platen to distribute the clamping pressure... i would imagine that the pressure glueing the veneer was quite uneven.

You must go through alot of glue eh man. Very cool project.

Nice work. But you should remove the rings for safety reasons while at the router table and table saw.
