The next step in making my table tennis table was to join my two pieces of plywood together. To do this I needed to do two things: glue the two pieces together, secondly I nailed the two pieces together so it wouldn't get gaps in-between the pieces of wood that would effect the bounce of the ball. First I got some nails and clipped them down to size so they wouldn't poke through the table, then I drew a grid on the wood so the nails would be evenly spaced (the grid was made of 150mm x 150mm squares).
Next I glued the boards together and quickly nailed the spots where the grid lines met. It had to be done quickly so the air pockets don't form.
The nails I used were very small so I used a hair comb to hold the nail in place and then I hit it into place.
