Cup Holder Rings (1 Viewer)

[micrx10]

Hello everyone I’m new here!

Anyone have insight on making cup holder rings to
Sit flush with the rail padding? I can’t figure out how to make them. Any help is appreciated

 

[Freeroll]

I used a hole saw to cut the holes in plywood, then used a jigsaw to cut about half an inch outside the hole. Simple, but it works

It’s a pain. The way I do it, and I’ve built almost 10 tables in the last few years. Two hole saws. Cut your outer diameter. Two screws on either side of the pilot hole to hold the piece to another piece of plywood, use smaller hole saw and cut again. One failed ring for about every 4 or 5.

For my next table? Hold the line…

3D print the SOB’s…

No 3D printer? I have a piece of 4” PVC pipe. I was going to chop saw the pieces or build a quick miter box for a hand saw and cut them. I was also going test the pipe with a jumbo drink holder but finished the last table before I did.

Either way, they’re essential, impossible to find, a PITA to build, but there are solutions.

I have two builds upcoming for this fall so I’ll get a chance to try the pipe and the 3D printer deal.

Never drink the koolaid… Tables without rings would be horrible.

Good luck.

Cut the outer diameter, but not all the way around
Cut the inner diameter completely out
Cut off the tab with Jig Saw

When you are spinning 8000 circles in a row occasionally you forget you need to stop before you go all the way.

Never thought about a 3D Printer, thanks

I know me neither. I literally think I changed the table making world.

I do have 10 feet of 4” PVC sewer pipe that I could probably make one million spacers from so I’ll beta test because I have no use for it.

But yes, the 3D thing was genius on my part thanks.
