Hahaha I made a yugi oh dueling table with a complete yugi oh field embedded in the surface complete with a banish zone cuz regular mats don't have one I will post the picture later on bit I think this is the first of it's kind!

The problem with straight-up tables (and the reason people use mats) is because tables get dirty and easily mess up your cards/sleeves. The cloth on the mat also protects the cards from being scratched or bent.

The problem with a clothed-out table (like a Poker table, for example), is that they're difficult to clean.

The idea is really cool, but it'll take a lot of effort and strict rules to keep that table clean and efficient for your cards.


Nonetheless, I wanna see this picture.

I have to get the pictures on my iPod so I will post it as soon as I do and it's made of pine with a lacquer spray to make it smooth as I tried as best as I can to keep it smooth for the cards for some reason my iPod is not letting me post the picture I want damn well I just have to wait until I get my computer

It's...a good start.  I think we were just expecting something similar to a poker table, i.e. cloth and designs.  While I do applaud your initiative to make card games like Yugioh more professional, it seems very much like a prototype.  Given enough time and resources, I'm sure that this can turn into something very special.  Continue to update us with your progress.  I personally cannot wait to see where you take this project.

I'm in highschool I did it as a woodshop project I do intend to be a carpenter when I get out of highschool just now I donthave the tools or supplies to make it professional also this is also a coffee table meant for me and my friends to duel on for fun but I'm definitely thinking of making a larger and portable version of this I
may even have someone paint the top of the
whole table like the back of a yu-gi-oh! card
I was thinking of laying glass over the top to keep cards from being scratched by the wood but also to keep the look of the wood there.

I would say the following process is the most effective, if you want to continue working with wood:

1. start with a smooth, sanded wooden surface
2. carefully outline your design and overlay it onto the surface
3. create a rough cut of the design into the wooden surface
4. refine the cut so that it best matches your original design (use edging tools and sanders)
5. re-sand the entire surface so that everything is nice and smooth
6. varnish/polish the surface to preserve the wood.  Apply multiple coats to really lock in the finish.
7. After allowing the varnish/polish to dry, apply multiple coats of lacquer.  Make it really thick so no casual scratches can affect the underlying finish.
8. If you have the lacquer on thick enough, try to buff the surface to make everything nice and smooth.

Of course, this entire process is ridiculously laborious, so you may want to consider looking at integrating a design into a TV dinner tray, since that would be portable and relatively cheap.

Haha yeah I already know how to keep the surface perfectly smooth just where the routes where it would be lifted since sanding doesn't create a perfectly straight and smooth surface as for the tv dinner tray I would much rather make it a traditional table that can fold down and be portable
