Topper, no legs. Actually pretty sure they had their own base they were going to use.

Made 2 of these, the last 2 of our basic 10 player tables.

I'm quite happy with this one. Solid walnut legs and dining table cover. 42"x84" for the poker table and 45"x87" for the topper. The walnut topper has a natural water based lacquer, no stain.

Not sure why the lights on the left of the outside look so funny, but it's a nice glue glow all the way around.

Damn, always a good job Tony! I love that table base, that's super classy.
 
I 'm amazed at how Tony can do really anything:tup:. He can satisfy and make a reality of even the sickest of imaginations (either in the good or bad sense):)
#1 reason for moving to (at least near) Vancouver:D
 
That's a nice rail. I also like how the table doesn't look to be really tall.

Why did you go with 8 cup holders and 7 hand spots? I don't play blackjack so I don't know what the typical layout is.
Thanks for the compliments. The table height is easily adjustable from standard chair height to barstool height as you would have in a casino. I went with 8 holders to even out the layout. Players can use either side for drinks. Usually not every player is drinking at the same time.
 
are you able to put a link in to the company website where you got the felt from?

For some reason, Mark's link isn't working for me so try this one too:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/thelayoutcompany/m.html?ssPageName=STRK:MEFSXS:MESOI&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2654

And @justsomedude has had success dealing with them via email to find multiples or possibly unlisted items as their eBay page is very much a backburner project that they don't spend a ton of time adding new inventory to unless someone has some free time.
 
Love the blue and grey, Nav. Simple and classy. One day I’ll be there when you felt the Empress Star set. :tup:
That is a dream Scott! You are sooooo more than welcome! One fine day. I'm itching to get the ES out. I've expanded a bit too. :tup:
 
Right now my master plan for tables comes in a few stages:
1) design a custom, collapsible roulette table
2) re-design and re-felt a poker table topper, with good sturdy legs
3) re-design a back-up blackjack table on an existing template
Give a crap-ton of money to @T_Chan to make all this a reality

I just watched the entire video. Amazing build, video, edit and I am just blown away. I love how you showed everything. I am not nearly as handy, but I am willing to give it a try perhaps...
is there a list of every tool, materials, sprays, etc, that you used..?
I would love to try to undertake this challenge and build a table that can easily be refelted anytime... although pulling old staples out may be annoying!

love that video!!!!! I may watch it every day for inspiration!

I'm getting started on my own table, where is this video?

Hey @davethesave - thanks for the kind post.

Lots of table building info / tutorials / threads at this site and others. Follow those, and you're golden getting a table built. Go slow, don't rush it and think everything through before cutting and you'll build something you will be happy with. Get better by doing.

Some of the tools and materials I used are listed in the video description at youtube. Full disclosure, they're listed as affiliate links so clicking them and buying something helps me out with a small kickback.

Here's a partial quick list of the stuff I used - your needs will vary depending on the table you want to build and the tools you have or can source.

Circular saw - I used this to cut down the plywood sheets to the size I wanted. You may not need to do this if you build a table at full sheet size. To make the cuts cleanly I used a large T-square straight edge. They sell the t-squares and straight edges at the box stores. You don't need to use that though, you can use the second plywood sheet like I did at other times. No circular saw? Use a router or a jigsaw.

Router - my router has both a fixed and plunge style base and for this job I used the plunge base. I made my own circle jig to cut the circles but I have also used store bought jigs. either works, depending on budget and what you want to do. I also used a straight guide for the router. It was easier than using the plywood as a straight guide but both works, so you don't have to buy this. My router set came with it. I used two router bits during this job, mostly a 1/4" spiral upcut bit for the through cuts and a 1/4" roundover bit for easing the edges before upholstery of the rail. Don't have / want to use a router? Use a Jigsaw. If you use a jigsaw, you can even just mark the circle with a string and cut it out.

Table saw - I used this to help cut down some scrap wood to make my spacers and the bracing for under the table. Not necessary you can use the circular saw or skip these steps entirely.

Cordless Drill
and Impact Driver. Hammer or mallet. Kreg pocket hole jig - not necessary for most table builds. especially if you use the extra plywood cutout underneath method for bracing. I was trying to save on weight so I didn't go that route.

Clamps, lots of clamps. You could maybe get away without them but there's no fun in that.

Brad nailer and an upholstery stapler. The air compressor to power them. You can use a manual stapler, but I wouldn't unless you hate yourself and want to endure lots of frustration and pain. I used a nailer but it isn't really necessary. At one point I didn't want to wait for the glue to dry so I used the nailer so I could keep moving forward.

Wood glue, spray adhesive. bolts and threaded inserts.

Electric turkey carving knife
- cuts through foam EASY. Also a utility knife is handy for the vinyl and felt.
