Barrington poker table thread (3 Viewers)

I'm new here and not the best person to ask, but I bet there is someone on here that will know for sure. There's a guy for everything on here. Otherwise, I would contact a carpenter on your local craigslist to do it for you. I'm sure you could get something done for a reasonable price.

With this in mind…can you buy a custom rail anywhere? I have an outdoor table that I would love to also use for a poker night but I feel like a rail is necessary.

Dude your original post was about the fold in the middle

My reply was that's what the custom topper is for

and yet you still ask me if that will fix the issue. LOL

Yes if it will fully fix the issue. I didn’t know if maybe it would only mask it a bit. Sorry for asking a follow up question. Haha. I won’t do that again with you my man.

I’d love to know or find someone who does this. I’m not near talented enough to tackle something like this. But I’d be willing to pay.

I have a rectangular table and I’d like to just buy a topper (with a thin layer of foam underneath) but I feel like without a rail it’s pointless. Has anyone seen a rectangular rail?

Anyone have a recommendation for a 3 5/8" hole saw they thought worked really well for the cupholder upgrade? I would prefer a hole saw with an arbor for convenience.

After reading, I saw a lot of people mentioning they wish they used a different hole saw that was deeper. Is this one acceptable?

I can’t remember what size i used, but i do wish i went to Home Depot and bought one an 1/8” bigger like my gut told me i should.

I’m almost positive I used a 3 1/2” hole saw.

Well, now I'm confused since every DIY post in this thread indicates a 3 5/8" hole saw being used. Everyone's complaint is they wish their hole saw was deeper to help get through the wood.

I’ll pull mine and post a photo. It was deep enough to get through both pieces of wood, but just a bit too small.

Milwaukee 3.5”. Had I used the same saw but 3 5/8 it would have been perfect.

That is the one I used and have done two table upgrades based on info in this thread.

3.5 or 3 5/8?

Thanks so much for checking! 3 5/8 it is!

Perfect. That's the one I saw earlier. And you thought it was deep enough for your tables?

Lastly, based on the info in this thread, would you add anything after doing two installs? I'm about to do four tables, so want to make sure I have ALL the facts from the people that have gone through this.

I did not need a mandrel so I used this one. Confirmed 3 5/8" worked great.

What didn't work so great was my cordless drill/driver. I wound up getting a corded drill (nothing too fancy - $80 dewalt @ home depot). Using the corded drill, the saw went through like butter.

I want to add that if any of my peeps in the Boston area want to upgrade their cupholders for the price of a beer or two, I have the hole saw, drill and template!

For what it’s worth I played on a Barrington for the first time last week. I have to say it’s pretty nice. Obviously the pre-printed topper is crap but that’s obviously replaceable
