First, layout the long beams and shorter support beams as such. Next, connect the beams using a power drill. For best results, have your wood cut for you at Home Depot or other hardware stores, so your pieces will fit together seamlessly.

After the base is finished and secure, place the top of the table on next. For durability purposes, drill about 3 screws into each corner and then drill the top into the support beams under the table. If you want to save time while building your table, having a partner to help will speed the process along.

The young child watches Levis and Robinson put the finishing touches up on the table by attaching the legs to the corners. This is one of the main reasons you want to have the wood cut for you at a hardware store before because it is essential that each of the legs are the same length.

Once your table is secure, you can draw a line halfway through the table or just use painters tape to divide your table. Beer die is a simple game that anyone, over 21 years of age, can play. It is a table based game that has two teams of two on each side of the table. The center line divides the table and the players must throw a die at least 15 feet in the air with the goal of the die landing in the other teams glasses or on their side. If the die lands on the opposing team's side and they do not catch it before it hits the ground, you score a point.

Levis and Robinson play their first game on the new table they built earlier that afternoon. In total it took 30 minutes for the two to build the table and will provide hours of enjoyment. Games are usually played to 12 points, but can be played up to any number.
