My ‘work from home’ situation has continued, thanks to corona. So, Im thinking of make something by myself.

I have some instruments in my garage, free time and a strong will to create.

The idea is to make a shuffleboard table.

I’m goinig to do something like this one, which I found on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/pin/231020655865008708/. But I dont know how to properly paint it. I dont know what paint, varnish/covering to pick
If you have any ideas about the design, I’d appreciate them.

 

thanks

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen or heard of it but carpet ball is an awesome game, similar idea.

One thing to consider is what material will be used for proper balance between slipperiness and friction. I thought I have heard of felt boards but I could be wrong. A smooth laminate counter material might work. Is epoxy slick enough? If so you could try that. if you want bare wood a nice sand and some paste wax might work.
