We have this table tennis board in the house that has been the source of evening fun for me and my housemates when we couldn't think of anything to do after watching Law and Order. We simply head on to the garage where we placed the board on top of chairs to support it. We have been having this kind of setup since summer of 2007. Although it was kinda looking messy down under and not to mention being frail, it worked for the whole summer months.
Today, we finally decided to make it a little better. There's got to be proper legs down there! We need to get rid of those chairs and replace them with wooden frames!A short visit to Lowe's establishment plus a quick planning turned out beneficial. We ended up buying wood planks, nails, a saw and a hammer. Yes, baby, we were up to building our makeshift table-tennis frame support!
The size of the main upper frame has to be 6ft long and 3ft wide. Legs height has to be about 2.5ft. I was excited to see a good finish.
I did most of the sawing and nailing. My housemate thought I have the best experience to do those stuff. I used to build fun structures when I was still in Pinas. My parents were true witnesses of how I could build benches from anything rubbish. Most of the time, I don't tell anyone of my plan, I just start taking Dad's handy construction tools and begin conceptualizing and building my idea. Everyone in the family will be surprised to see the finish product.Today, I applied my carpentry skills once again. Oh man, was it good to know I didn't lose the grip! I could still cut wood planks, hammer and nail them together just like before, or just like a pro!
It only took a little over an hour to see the fruits of our labor. Here goes our table tennis support frame!
It is time for a house party again. Bring on the fun baby and let's hit the table tennis ball! Labels: Brookings Fun
