The biggest one is the use of marine tape to attach the surface to the table. I'm not worried about the strength of the tape, but I am worried about the repairability. Once the tape is in place, the table isn't coming apart again.I'm also concerned about the strength of the floor laminate. In Jesse Pohlman's table version, it looks like he's using hardwood rather than laminate, and he supports it with additional cross beams under the table. I think his table is also smaller than ours.Finally, I have zero woodworking tools and experience. Jesse's table has the wood and gaming mat sitting on top of the supports, which means you need to have a very precise cut to avoid gaps between the edge of the table and the surface. I'd like something I can build without that level of precision, preferably with minimal woodworking.So my thought was to clamp the table surface to the bottom of the table and clamp it in place. That way the surface could be larger than the rails, which allows plenty of tolerence for sloppy cuts and should lead to a nice clean edge. In my next post, I'll share my initial drawings.</blockquote>
