How to Make LEGO Pool Tables

LEGOs are small building blocks that connect together securely. Each piece has connector dots on the top side which can be pressed into the bottom sides of another piece. There many things you can build with them. Houses, cities, cars, airplanes, and a variety of other objects can be built using LEGOs. You can even create LEGO pool tables using various colors and sizes of LEGO blocks.

Instructions

1

Sort the LEGOs into separate piles. Sort various size red and black block pieces into piles according to size. You will need six-dot rectangular, eight-dot rectangular, and four-dot square, four-dot long black pieces, four-dot long and one-dot single red pieces.

2

Place the green rectangular LEGO board on your work surface so that the length runs horizontally.

3

Build the legs of the pool table. Find four black six-dot rectangular pieces. Attach one piece per corner so that four of the dots are beyond the edges of the green board on the two shortest sides of the board, the left and right top and bottom corners. Place black four-dot square LEGO pieces under the four-dots that over hang the edges, adding 10 to 15 pieces, depending on how tall you want the pool table to be and how large your green board is.

4

Fill in the entire perimeter of the green LEGO board with eight-dot black rectangular pieces, which have the four dots per row with two rows of four dots. Insert these pieces around the edges of the pool table so that there is one row of four dots adhered to the green board and one row over hanging the edge of the board. Work around the corner pieces. Do this to create sides for the rails.

5

Add a layer of black four-dot long pieces on top of the black eight-dot pieces that you just added. Place them on the outside edge, all the way around the board. Do this to create the rails of the pool table.

6

Use four-dot, and 8-dot long red pieces under the black pieces that hang over the edge. Fill in the entire perimeter of the underside of the black eight-dot rectangular pieces. Do this to add a decorative trim under the edges of the pool table, like a real pool table has.

7

Add one-dot red pieces in each corner, and in the center of the length of each side of the top of the pool table along the inner side of the rails to finish off the LEGO pool table. Insert these as pockets. Place them on top of the inside edge of the black rails.
