I have a really small pocket size (lol) kreg. I'd love to get a bench mounted one, especially for how often I use it.

Finished the 2 coats of poly on top and coat on bottom. Sanded and cleaned up the pieces yesterday.

Spray painted a couple coats of espresso brown and then a matte clear coat to the corrugated plastic.

Attached the plastic to the frame with the modified truss screws.

This is where the mirror will go. Estimated delivery next week.

Unexpectedly showed up today!

Attached it with Liquid Nails and taped it and then piled some heavy things on top for it to bond overnight.

Tomorrow: planning on cutting and adhering the pyramid rubber. Then we wait for the custom layout!

Wow, how incredible! Were you following any plans? Did you include speedbumps?

Thanks! No plans, built it all by feel. I run into little problems all of the time and have to overcome but I looked at a lot of pictures of casino tables, so more or less knew what I wanted.
What do you mean by “Speedbumps?” I did buy pyramid rubber to use on the ends. I need to armor all it too before I install it tomorrow.

I plan on trying to build one of these in the future. This is a model!
Speedbumps are put underneath the playing surface so that throwers cannot slide the dice along the felt
 
Interesting, I’ve not heard of that. Makes sense from a casino anti-cheating/manipulation/control perspective.

The layout will be so full that the dice will hit chips or have to be airborne- so sliding them shouldn’t be an issue.

I’ll have time before I get the layout, so I’ll have to think about that. Thanks for bringing that up!

No worries, this has been popular for a long time now in casinos "just in case". I think they just use a thick string under the layout near the prop bets. Definitely a bit extra but it's always best to design with game integrity in mind
 
Mirror mounted looks great!

Measured and cut the pyramid rubber.

Going to bond it with the same stuff.
The eventual plan is for a padded rail etc with a lip, which is why you can see some screw heads at the top.

Not the highest priority, so that’ll happen later in the summer/fall and we’ll call stage 1 complete. Stage 2 will have a padded rail, place for chips, and two small signs in the wooden square areas on either side of the dealer box.

But for now we’re just waiting for the layout!!

Is this the one? ;)
 
Not much progress on the craps table.

But I do have a new build…
The bomb pot marker!
I used some “blaze” orange filament to 3D print. A few of the players called it the “pumpkin” - understandably so.

I cut a lot of lengths of string and hot glued them together. Twisted and then singed it with a lighter.

A few different pictures for reference.

Hotodog roller Buffet
During my last game of poker, I set up a temporary countertop for the hotdog roller and snacks. This past week, I wanted to make a sturdy frame where I can also store the roller, extra plates, paper towels, etc.

Bought a couple of 2x4s, and had some extras in the garage too. Designed a simple frame and then cut them all to length.

Went to Joanns, got some cloth for the covering and some stitchwitch to mend the edges.

Playing around with configurations before assembling the frame.

Frame in place in the basement.

Using some scrap ply, I cut out a shelf that fits snugly inside the frame. Wood glued the inner edge and to the frame.

Wrapped the entire outer edge with cloth. Stapled down some velcro at the top and in the bottom corners for the removeable front covering.

Front panel velcroed down. Looks nice and clean, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Probably going to clean up the very bottom with some extra black cloth to hide the wood, and add some feet for leveling.

Ready for the next poker game!
