About two months ago I told my wife that I wanted to buy a new chip set since I couldn't find my trusty dice set. She said OK and I ended up buying a 600 piece Claysmith Mint cash set. Brought it to a family party and ended up winning about $250. I figured what the heck... let's parlay that win and buy a 525 piece CC Dunes set. Ended up winning about $550 during it's first outing. So, I asked my wife if I could build a new poker table. Who needs a garage anyways right?
Here's my first attempt at building a poker table.
Here's a list of everything I used...
$25 1 x 3/4 plywood
$50 1 x 3/4 plywood (baltic birch)
$200 SSC, Rogue vinyl, 1 inch padding, 1/4 padding, 10 SS jumbo cup holders
$100 Rockler legs
$25ish stain, poly
Total $400ish
Cutting the rounded edges...
Test fitting the rail after all the cuts were made...
The racetrack is baltic birch with a special walnut stain. Also put down about 8 coats of oil poly...
One last test fit to make sure everything still fits...
Starting to upholster the rail. Used 1 inch padding with black rogue vinyl...
All done...
Let's make sure it still fits...
Now time to upulster the playing surface. Used 1/4 closed cell foam with green SSC...
Popped right in...
This is where I wet sanded the racetrack and applied some wax. I was considering stopping right here but decided to install the cup holders...
Screwed everything together and installed the rockler legs (no pic). And here's a few more pics from different angles...
All in all I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I don't see any major mistakes. And, it kicks the game up a notch. And it seems to be pretty lucky for me too. =)
