If you have something to add, shoot me a link. I grabbed a bunch of builds I had bookmarked, didn't have time to scour the whole table forum.

probably the most-followed build thread this year...

This should be a pinned thread! Amazing resource (especially for a first time table builder like myself!)

Thanks again!

Does anyone following this thread happen to know the name of the guy that created all the sought after poker table guides/blueprints? I know I’ve seen it discussed in other threads just can’t recall where.

Depends on the time frame you're looking for - the originals were Scott Keen, @Quads/PC Potato and the Junell Racetrack build. There was a more recent "how-to" site but I forget what it was called, something like "buildyourownpokertables.com" or similar.

I think Keen is the one I remember hearing about- thank you.
