Anyone know of a place to get plans to build your own air hockey table?

I would love to know also.   My wife would love it if I would build one.

I also want to build a side/side that looks like this

so you hit it up, into a 45degree into a 45degree back at the person sitting right next to you... that way it might fit in my basement :)

I remember seeing a website, or a thread on a forum of a couple of guys that built an air hockey table...seemed fairly easy...the only problem I remember them having was regulating the airflow, so they didn't get one section blasting out air, and another section with barely any output...
If I can find the link I will post, but I remember that I stumbled upon it using google...

I have one at home. Pretty simple to build. I'll have a look if you would like.....
Vids:  Home built MAME machine, Crystal Castles. Arkanoid
Pins:   Williams Aztec (working). Stern Nugent (not working...yet), Williams Phoenix (major not working, missing parts.... )

Always on the lookout for buying 90's game with Ramps that need work...

Well it seems I'm not the only one looking for this idea. The link given above seems like a good starting point but not sure all the necessary details are there since it appears no one has actually made one from it.

I also found http://www.kc8esl.us/airhockey.html but this is just pictures and no plans.

I'm still looking.
