Wow if this wasn’t intriguing. Every step made me more curious as to how I was going to make this one actually work. All in all I did it. However, dad came up with the wooden Foosball people idea which was an awesome idea. Although I ended up deciding to use erasers instead just because I really did not want to paint all those little wooden people lol Wooden would looked much nicer though but it’s not like the dolls will know the difference right lol I’ll post this tutorial soon along with the updated template.

hi guys welcome back today I’m going to
0:04
show you how you can make a foosball
0:05
table
0:06
the very first thing you need to do is
0:08
you need to go on my website and you’re
0:09
going to need to print out this template
0:12
it has the measurements and everything
0:14
you wanted that you need and then this
0:17
piece here will give you a key on what
0:20
the actual parts all me like glue that’s
0:23
a little food man
0:25
purple that’s the other little foods man
0:27
and then these are the handles and the
0:32
bumpers is the screen one
0:35
ok now when you’re doing it if you
0:38
measure your thing you can use this as a
0:40
guide to where you want to put your
0:43
holes at two
0:44
alright so gonna print that out it’s
0:46
under dollhouse measurements and
0:48
tutorials com and we’ll get started
0:52
so once you have all of your pieces cut
0:54
out but you’re going to have to do is
0:57
you’re out to separate them and for the
1:01
ends here i just use a band saw and cut
1:05
out that half moon right there half
1:09
circle but you can actually use a drill
1:12
bit if you want and just drill it out
1:14
then sand it down or you can cut it out
1:17
using that little coping saw same way
1:22
with this
1:23
alright so you’re going to have a bottom
1:25
a top or the game feels going to be if
1:29
you want to paint this you can but as
1:33
long as you put the template to size
1:35
you’ll see it says on this one printed
1:41
scale if you print it to scale and you
1:43
cut it out exactly how it prints these
1:47
here fields will match this nice so
1:51
it’ll work perfect now mine is cut a
1:54
little bit bigger because i went by the
1:56
measurements and like i said before
1:58
sometimes you lose a little bit when
1:59
you’re scaling it into the computer so
2:02
mine’s just school lightly off there so
2:05
my fields not gonna fit perfect
2:08
however if you cut it out as this size
2:10
and uses your template
2:11
as it will write ok so what I’ve done is
2:21
I’ve taken the top piece and i put it
2:23
over top of the bottom piece and then
2:25
I’ve marked where the circles are going
2:28
to be okay at this point if you want
2:31
this to be painted you can paint it not
2:33
you don’t have to but what you do need
2:36
to do is you need to take your spacers
2:38
and you’re going to have to glue them
2:41
together and put them right on there
2:43
just like that
2:46
alright so i’m gonna go ahead and get
2:47
some glue and I’m gonna glue them
2:48
together and I’m a glue onto the space
2:51
ok so when you’re gluing it you want to
2:54
put glue on the corners of it and on the
2:57
one side of it to start with right and
3:00
then you’re going to press it in there
3:01
try to get it as straight as you can on
3:04
here leave in equal amounts on each side
3:08
and then equal amounts at the end you
3:15
can pull this down try to make it even
3:18
with this here and even with it here but
3:22
do not overlap that circle part
3:36
k so
3:37
now once you have that done you can
3:39
clean the grew up around the edge if you
3:41
want but it’s not necessary because it’s
3:42
not going to be seen
3:44
so you got equal here equal here it’s
3:49
close to equal on the front and on the
3:50
back
3:59
make it even right now you’re gonna put
4:03
some glue on top of here
4:06
ok so now you’re going to glue this on
4:08
top here right but you need to make sure
4:11
that when you do it you have it even
4:14
otherwise it will end up being a monkey
4:27
just like that okay let it sit
4:37
and dry check all four sides right now
4:44
at this point while this is drying you
4:48
need to mark where you’re going to put
4:51
the line so like what i did is i held up
4:56
against it and then i trace where I want
4:58
my line to be so that way I know
5:02
ok once that’s dry them with glue the
5:07
rest of it together
5:08
ok so the next step is to go ahead and
5:11
put glue on all the sides and then you
5:15
want to add your side panels when you’re
5:24
putting this one this has to be at the
5:26
bottom and then you want to put glue on
5:32
the side here
5:38
just like that
5:46
and attach them at the bottom
5:57
okay now you’re going to squeeze this
5:59
together make sure you have it straight
6:03
make sure all your ends right here here
6:06
and all are all imagine just leave that
6:10
just like that
6:19
then we’ll let that dry
6:24
ok so now you can cut out your template
6:26
for the top and if you match yours up to
6:29
the template on there then they should
6:31
fit pretty perfect and then you can set
6:34
it in there and then apply some Mod
6:36
Podge before you put it on there put
6:37
some Mod Podge on top of it to seal it
6:39
since mine does not fit up i’m going to
6:41
actually go ahead and just paint that
6:44
little teeny tiny space there like i
6:47
said i made $OPERAND years the words
6:50
gonna fit if he’s long as you cut your
6:51
template for your wood to fit the
6:54
template i actually did mine as the
6:57
measurements so it’s just a tiny bit
6:59
bigger so it also a little bit in the
7:01
scanning process and creating part so
7:06
once that’s dry well first you want to
7:09
get rid of all of your excess glue along
7:11
the edge forget that go on there or
7:16
remove that other and then after that
7:21
then you want to apply your legs on the
7:23
bottom one in each corner and then glue
7:26
it all right so now you’re justifying
7:30
the glue on there and sticking it right
7:33
onto the Kona
7:38
and then you let it dry make sure you
7:40
have them straight to not cook it and
7:43
then let them dry and it’ll stand like
7:47
that
7:49
ok so now like I’m going to mod podge
7:53
that on there and everything but the
7:54
purpose of having that board on the
7:56
inside is for the ball now this is
7:58
obviously just a bead but when it goes
8:01
down in there’s nowhere for it to go if
8:07
you notice it doesn’t go back any
8:09
further it just stays in that little
8:11
section right there so you should be
8:15
able to get it out pretty easily
8:18
alright and then we’ll go ahead and add
8:20
the rest of it to it and i’ll show you
8:23
the next step so stay too
8:33
ok so now you have pretty much the whole
8:36
thing put together you can at this point
8:39
my dodge your top one here but the next
8:44
step is to glue your quarter-inch pieces
8:47
on here but we have to drill the holes
8:48
for them first so we want to tape them
8:50
together
8:51
ok see you want to make sure that you
8:54
have them even on both ends before you
8:56
put your masking tape around it tape it
8:58
and then go again at the other end and
9:02
tape that just like that
9:06
ok so how have done this is I’ve laid
9:09
out my template and I’ve got it laying
9:10
on the side and I went in about a
9:12
quarter of an inch on each leaving even
9:15
spacing and then I marked where I want
9:18
my things to go now you want to go
9:20
directly down the center of that all the
9:24
way down
9:27
that’s not the center but go down the
9:30
center of it
9:33
ok so for this part once i had my Center
9:35
marked i went ahead and i took a piece
9:38
of the same wire and i put it down the
9:46
center of that and i went ahead and
9:48
decided to go ahead and draw slowly
9:52
driving and
9:52
other now I did turn my wire into like a
9:58
little half . so now you just want to go
10:03
and do all of them just like that
10:06
ok so once you have them drill then you
10:09
want to take your end pieces that we
10:10
have cut apply some glue to it
10:23
they’re going to put it directly and top
10:25
of that end make sure that it’s even now
10:30
to avoid this part if you don’t want to
10:32
do it like this then you can always make
10:35
your bottom pieces just a tiny bit
10:37
taller you can make this piece and this
10:44
piece a quarter inch taller but i just
10:48
thought it would be easier to do the
10:50
holes this way so that’s why i did not
10:53
like this
11:00
ok so what I’ve done is I’ve added my
11:03
parts there now I’m going to add my
11:05
template on top and press it down
11:25
you want to make sure it’s even so it’s
11:27
not bending on the side
11:45
all right now once you get press down
11:47
and you want to layer of Mod Podge again
11:50
ok so once you have that done then you
11:52
want to glue your sides on
12:01
put a little bit right here on this edge
12:02
to and over here on this edge
12:12
and then you want to go right there in
12:13
place
12:26
should look kinda like that and then do
12:29
the other side the same way
12:32
okay now you’re going to take the second
12:34
piece here and you’re going to cut it
12:36
and fit right in between here and make
12:45
sure that you have it even with the top
12:56
go ahead and rub your glue into that
12:58
opening if there is one because
13:00
sometimes the wood isn’t exactly level
13:03
or straight when you buy it so you
13:06
rather news in wood filler you can just
13:08
kind of put your glue in there and then
13:11
you’re gonna do the same thing to the
13:12
side
13:13
ok so once you have that done then you
13:16
want to tape it so that it’s secure
13:17
until it dries
13:19
ok so to make our food people we are
13:22
going to be using some wooden craft
13:24
sticks and what we did is we cut a bunch
13:27
of them at 38 inches and then we’re
13:30
going to be drilling a hole right in the
13:33
center now I will tell you this the
13:36
drill bit that were using is actually
13:38
just a piece of wire and we ground the
13:41
end of it to make it to where we could
13:43
use it as a drill bit that way would be
13:44
the same size that you can use your
13:46
drill bit if you want
13:47
so he’s just kinda late just throwing it
13:51
right through there
13:52
with the wire
14:00
let’s go into your fingers takes a
14:09
little bit of time but it works out
14:11
great because when you put it on top of
14:13
that or through the piece on the table
14:17
it’s going to go easier
14:20
ok so I just attached it onto the wood
14:23
and then you can stand them in pain on
14:25
whatever color you want but as you can
14:27
see it rotates now I used a piece of
14:30
baling wire to do this here and I
14:34
painted the inside and everything and I
14:36
actually paint the outside too but then
14:38
i sanded it i didn’t like the texture of
14:39
it being rough on the edge so i standed
14:43
the whole thing again and I’ll just
14:44
repaint it but your foods me and you can
14:49
paint any which way you want if you want
14:51
to get detailed or just paint solid
14:53
colors and sand them also as well
14:55
alright and then we’ll do the handles
14:58
the same way we’ll be back
15:03
ok so for your wire is just floral wire
15:06
and I put some duct tape around the end
15:08
of it to make the handle and then you
15:11
want to apply some crazy glue at the
15:13
very end to keep it from going forward
15:15
or backward with the duct tape because
15:17
sometimes they want to move after that
15:19
then you want to put it in your hole
15:21
right here and for my foosball people i
15:25
just took my research that looks like
15:27
this and I cut it to fit so it’s not
15:32
quite touching the bottom but it’s got a
15:37
tiny bit of space but it’s very close
15:39
then I took another piece of wire and I
15:43
use that as my drill and I poke the hole
15:46
in each one and then now I’m just
15:50
following the pattern on the template
15:51
and i’m applying them you have to work
15:56
it a little bit to get it in there
16:05
ok
16:08
alright you want to do all of them just
16:10
like that slide it on there
16:13
ok when you get to the other side you
16:15
want to poke it through that hole on
16:16
that side once you get it in that hole
16:25
push it all the way through to wear this
16:29
is touching the wood on this side then
16:32
take your pliers and you want to put a
16:38
bend and the wire so it should look like
16:44
that once you have it done
16:48
push your bar all the way across to
16:52
where it’s like this and then adjust
16:58
your foosball people to match this side
17:00
here
17:10
ok
17:15
and it should work
17:29
just like that
17:36
now you can apply a little bit of glue
17:38
on each one if you want on the sides of
17:40
it to keep them from sliding back and
17:41
forth but if nobody’s really going to
17:43
play with it then you don’t need to
17:44
write you want to continue that process
17:49
along both sides again put a little dab
17:55
of crazy glue on the edge here and on
17:57
the edge of this side of the tape just
17:59
to keep it from sliding and then the
18:02
same way there you notice they do slide
18:15
now loose ball tables have stopper so if
18:19
you don’t want to bend your wire you can
18:21
glue a bead on the end rather than
18:23
gluing it i mean rather than bending it
18:25
here
18:26
alright continue this process with the
18:28
applying the race or to the wire and the
18:32
tape for the next two holes and then
18:34
you’ll be done and all you have to do is
18:36
paint
19:02
