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...

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.
