Checkers Board Table Top

I was sitting at an old bench table I had in the yard and I could put my finger right through the table top what's happens next is this .

Supplies

4x8 3/4 inch plywood screws and old table
Paint black and red white is optional sand paper 120 and 400 grit works. And polyurethane to seal it. glue for the pieces

Plywood

Take a piece of 3/4 inch plywood put on top of an old table you may have sitting in the yard like I did.
Measure it how ever big you want your table to be.
After you cut it. screw it ontop the table
This part I can't help you as I don't know what your using

Cutting the Lines

Grab your router tools
Measure line so you have even 8 rows wide 8 rows long
You need 8 boxes
I would Measure long and wide divide your boxes

Paint

Your going to paint the top black
I used flat spray paint

Sand

You want to sand off the black on every other block
So you have black then sand next black then sand
Like a checkers board
Sand to your liking I didn't paint the squares white because I wanted to show the wood

Polyurethane

After the sanding is finished apply a coat of Polyurethane
After first coat drys lightly sand the table
Repeat as you like I did it 5 times

Checkers Pieces

I used Mason jar lids I glued the tops in and painted
You can make yours out of what ever you want to

Checkers Pieces Red

I used Mason jar lids I glued the tops inside and painted red

Finished Project

Once everything was done it was ready to play.
