Hi all,
I've been on this site for a couple of years, usually poking around reading threads and keeping my eyes peeled for a few chips here and there.
I managed to snag a 'seconds' felt from @T_Chan last year and set myself a summer project goal of building a poker table.
Now I'm not a handy guy and this was a project that was daunting. I've always lived in apartments or rented houses that didn't have room for a workshop, also my hobbies don't tend to include that kind of work. Other members who have posted their table building adventures inspired me to change that. I also watched some YouTube video's and read a couple of general knowledge building websites.
I also have a desk job and kids and life stuff and being able to have a hobby that involved building things just wasn't in the cards...until now.
I didn't manage to actually have this table build as a summer project but my birthday was last weekend and I set myself a hard deadline of hosting a poker game on my birthday and so off we go:
I started on a weekend in early September and I got 2 pieces of 3/4' plywood cut down to 84x42 and managed to get them home in our SUV. I was planning on an 8 person table.
Spoiler alert for anyone concerned, I still have all my fingers! and the table did get finished in time. I wasn't able to post in real time as I was trying to get it done but I'll post some more photos later on.
