Made with over 2000 shiner bock, blonde, and black lager crowns. Table is 8ft x 30in. Base made from 3/4 in plywood with cedar trim. Will have a solid epoxy top that forms a level surface Table separates into halves and features collapsable legs. Perfect for tailgating!

Just thought I'd post this and get y'all's opinions. I'm willing to build one for you, for the right price. Materials cost me approx $360 + labor. Make an offer!

Edited to reflect up to date material costs

Looks pretty cool. Any way to make the pics bigger on Photobucket?

That's better size. If I had room or still had my bachelor pad, I would be interested.

Good luck!

Yea, if I wasn't in a one bedroom apartment right now I'd be interested. Haha, that's probably the problem with trying to sell these though. The people who are interested are in apartments and don't have room. The people who have room (houses, etc) aren't interested. Good luck though.

Just wondering, is there something covering the bottle caps on the table, or do the beer pong cups actually sit on the bottle caps?

It has a clear epoxy resin layer that secures the bottlecaps in place as well as forms a waterproof, level surface over the bottle caps.

As as far as size being an issue I understand; beerpong tables are large. However this table stores well. It splits into two halves and has collapsable legs. It's actually quite compact. and I can also make other kinds of tables. bottle cap coffee tables are very cool, and i've actually been asked to make tv trays which turned out really cool.

Would love to put something like this in a future gameroom, perhaps not a ping pong table, but something similar.. Have an email for future contact?

I would love to have one for my man cave. Just seems pricey

sorry for the late reply, my email is nnaylor17@yahoo.com

As far as price, I understand it isn't cheap. But it is also a legitimatley well made table that will stand the test of time and intense bp games. the materials that i used for this particular one(3/4 inch plywood base, cedar trim, ~ 1/2 clear epoxy resin, collapsable legs) are more expensive than alternatives, but i wanted something that would last me all of my college years and my son's too, and also make every other college guy jealous. I'm sure i could use some cheaper materials to help out on price a little, but I think the quality is what really sets it apart from others, and that costs a little extra. however there is an extensive amount of labor associated with a project like this. I had to crimp every single one of those 3000 something bottle caps by hand and i spent a solid 15 hours on that alone. Bottom line i'm not trying to get rich or make a buissness out of this, but its a hobby of mine that i truely enjoy doing and think is totally bad ass, and if i can share it with others then i think that'd be pretty awesome too

Awesome but don't play beer ping nearly enough to justify.

Would you consider trade for a nice foos ball table and some cash?

I already have a foos ball table, but that's not to say I wouldn't consider any trades

How tall is the table?

Would you accept 100 cash and some beer? Alternatively, I have a rifle (SKS) and a pistol (Sig P6) that I would be willing to sell to you for the table and some cash, if you're looking for a firearm.

EDIT: NOT trying to lowball you, that's just what I can afford for something like this. Love it, though.

I understand where you're coming from, but we're not anywhere close in price. I'm glad you like it though.

Also, if i remember correctly, this table is ~32in tall

This is awesome. About how long does it take you to complete the entire thing? Could you have one finished before my Ring Day April 12th?

If i had all the materials ready to go today, i could have it done in less than two weeks, working around my classes and what not. However i am at the mercy of the weather at the moment. It needs to be at least 75 degrees outside for a couple of days in order for the resin to properly cure. Asumming it warms up a bit i could have one ready by then.

EDIT: Spring break would be an excellent time for me to work on one, so if you are interested let me know now so i can gather the materials

Who knows with Texas weather these days haha.
Give me a price and I'll give you the yay or nay. Not here to haggle a price. You know what it takes to build it so tell me what would make it worth it for you.

To make that exact table that I have pictured, I'd put a price of $510, that's 360 for materials (exactly what they cost me) plus $10/hour for what I estimate to be 15 hrs of labor
AzAg13

AG
Didn't you say in the orginal post materials cost you ~$250?

510 is a little steep for me right now man.
Thanks though.

you're absolutley right i did, i realize now when i wrote that post i didn't take into the cost of the resin because i hadn't applied it yet, and that stuff is expensive. i'm sorry for the discrepancy

Seems like if you have a price you want for the table, you shouldn't advertise Make An Offer

He asked for a number so I threw one out there, what's to say you can't make an offer if I give a value of what I think it's worth??

Is the resin height the same as where the top of the bottle caps are all the way across? From the pics it doesn't seem that way. Just a curious question, as it would seem that the ping pong ball would have a mind of it's own on that table for girls that bounce.

The resin hasn't been applied yet in that picture, I applied it a few weeks ago, the resin goes about 3/16" over the top of the caps, I'll upload a picture
