Where can I get....
« on: April 11, 2005, 09:59:17 PM »
A coffee table that has a ball rack in it... anybody ?

Something like this ....


  ______________________________
 /                             /
/                             /    <- put coffee on here
==============================
  |    |    |    |    |    | /
  |____|____|____|____|____|/

     .
    /|     Put balls in here



Is this total madnesss, NO, we need a coffee table, and a ball rack, why not economise and get both in one....
You know, I may have to just get a coffee table and alter it a bit...

All ideas welcome.

I'm still wondering about a celled approach and and a railed one...


just wondering how to support the rails proficiently...

How to support the outer rail

===================    < table top
  |
  |
  |  O    O
  | /    /      < a two pronged approach,
  ||\   /         This would be easier to build
  || \ /          as it would not require bending
  ||  /           the strips into curves.
  || /
  ||/


or just

===================    < table top
  |
  |
  ||___O    O   < Curved metal strap, as long as
  || /  \__/       there were enough or them
  ||/              arround the table it should hold.
  |                Would need to bend it nicely,
  |                Else it would look tacky.
  |



I supose that as long as there are enough support struts around it , either should be ok?

My wife would kill me if I built something like that!  Of course it would be a functional way to store my balls, but for her it would have to all solid and no way of seeing the balls!
