2 out of 4 ain't bad. You're batting .500.

The table looks great so far.

I'm not a fan of Bud or Heiny, but Sam Adams makes some of the best lagers out there IMO. Guinness is a fine stout; it was my favorite for a long time and still holds its own, but the competition is fierce these days.

With any luck, it'll be finished by 2014.

I had a really hard time with mine for some reason. I even used the spray adhesive trick and still ended up doing it twice. Pulling out 100+ was not my idea of a good time. Glad to hear you had a good go of it. Sad to see no pictures that we can be overly critical of.

Nice progress so far!

Foam applied.

Lining up the pattern on the SSC.

Swing stapler is the bomb!

All trimmed up.

Checking fit on rail.

Hells yeah! Coming right along. Super jealous. Wish I lived up north so we could play cards and drink beer together on that bad boy.

Better get on it, then. Free beer makes the load lighter.

So you're saying that if I have beer, I have friends, and I have things that need to be done around my house...

[dugthefish]

...Amen

Hey, thats a coke in one of the pics, lightweight!

[Schmendr1ck]

I forgot to say thanks for the additional pics - looking good!

And BTW, I have that identical dartboard hanging in my poker room.

Dug,
I stayed away from this thread cause I didnt want to get super jealous. But now that I tried catching up, I feel like Slidey was trying to hi-jack the thread from you there mid-way. Just kidding, Slidey, I love the nylon velvet! One day, I hope to have a room big enough that I could have a solid table that doesnt have to get folded up and put away.
