One Eyed Dollar
Flush
I had a 4'x8' 10-person table that was too big for my basement, so I sold that and used the money to build myself a smaller 44"x78" 8-person table topper. This is my first table build, and I tried a few different things with the construction, so I thought I'd share. I'm really happy with the results.
First, the finished product!
Technically, this is my new "game" table, not "poker" table, because I will actually be using it more often for boardgames with family and friends than for poker. I broke it in last night with some games of Yahtzee and Blokus with my son.
I built it as a topper and not a table for flexibility. It sits on top of 60" folding table in the basement most of the time, and I can take the poker (I mean game!) table off and use the folding table for other stuff, like crafts or scrapbooking, and I also built a ping pong table that goes on top. Plus, I wanted to have the option of bringing the poker table upstairs and putting on my dining table on my deck for some outdoor poker in the summertime:
I just picked up a set of BCC Casino de Isthmus chips off craigslist, so I took some shots of them on the new table. I've never played with BCCs before, but these are really nice!
In the next post I'll add some pictures of how I built it.
