http://www.pcpotato.com/poker/ Good overall directions. His method for applying the vinyl to the railing was great. Scott Keen's site http://www.scottkeen.com/poker/pokertable.asp Use this to apply foam to railing. Maui Poker http://www.mauipoker.net/table_1.html Use this for cutting the main table and railing wood. MUCH easier (and better) than the methods above. I had a good time building my table. I hope you enjoy building yours. Oh, and the cost builds quicker than you realize. I just about doubled what I had originally expected to spend. |

It can be done for under $150 though if you shop around, especially for the fabric. The most recent fabric I'm going to use for a friend's table is some sort of nylon/poly mix that's lightning slick, and was $3 for 3 yards at WalMart. Casino felt? No, but certainly playable and a nice way to save money. I've done 100% poly fabrics for the other two I made, and they both worked great. |

Mostly I bought it for the color, since my friend who I'm making the table for wants a gunmetal gray fabric (which was tough to find). It's a slightly metallic looking fabric, and a very tight, tight, "knit", but I don't know how else to describe it. If I can't get a vinyl logo put on it like I want, then I'm going to have to find something else anyway. |
