I haven’t used that map, but I’d recommend scaling your pieces up by about 10-20% to keep things proportional. Test fit as you go to make sure it works.
Custom Global Table

Nice work, well done.
I’ve enjoyed browsing the different threads on creating a custom table. Lots of creative thought and good ideas.
Cheers bighammer… are you thinking about building your own custom table?

Thanks Speed_Adict!
They are completely stackable, which I will completely admit, was an accident that ended up working out in my favor! I purchased the containers before building the actual table and used the containers as a guide for my measurements. I tried to get the boxes as geographically close to their corresponding countries as possible… but anyway… here you go!

enjoy!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! i tried to source out bamboo to build my own boxes and these are considerably cheaper (if you count waste) thanks for the link. Im looking into them as i type this. It will probably look more complete by the time im done too. Thanks again :)

Terrific table! Dark stained wood always looks very classsy in my opinion…and as a bonus in this particular case, the table matches the doors in the room! The dice-rolling boxes at each end are an interesting feature; I don’t recall ever seeing a design like that one. It’s unlikely that rolled dice would ever bounce out of a box that deep, which is a good feature.

Thanks for all the positive comments. We looked at other designs a bit after deciding exactly what was wanted/needed. The dice pits are nice because they don’t bounce out, and the slope of the ramp pushes them to the outside. (no hidden spots where you have to move to see them) The board height is about 40" because most games end up with players standing as they play. It’s more comfortable height for your back and a bar stool is a good height when you want to rest your feet.
It was a fun project and I’m not sure we’d change anything.

Nice tables guys, something for me to do in the future
