I've been following this thread and decided to put some pictures of the table I recently built, using some fantastic ideas I found right here on this message board! My table measures 7'x4' with rounded edges at 18", leaving a flat edge (I like the look of this). I used 3/4" particle board topped off with a 1/4" piece of beachwood (?), Oak was too rich for my blood. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I used liquidnails and a bunch of clamps to hold the 2 pieces together. The table itself was connected to a 6'x2.5' banquet table that I purchased from big lots for 30 bucks. The fabric is vellux which I purchased from a local fabric store. I was dissappointed with this fabric, seems to rip easily and was debating on changing it until the first game i had and Icouldn't believe how many people accidently dropped ashes on the table (I allow smoking at the table due to the table being located in my garage, plus it's an extra tell to those who can pick it up [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) No point in spending 80 bucks for someone to put a whole in, I'll keep my 5 bucks per yard fabric. Cup holders and railing I purchased from
www.casinosupply.com. I must say, I wasn't impressed with the railing. It is simply a piece of rubber for around pipes, nothing special, although I really do not know where to find something like it, I was just expecting more for $3.50 per foot. I did not connect the middle cut out to the table itself, I seemed to have done a nice job with the jigsaw and the insert sits inside very snug.
I am very pleased with how the table turned out. I would have liked to do something diffrent with the rope lighting but it wasn't in my orginial plan, I threw it on after I saw SLyFiSH's table. One reason I like the lights were they are located is, it's really easy to see your hole cards. Anyway, enjoy, and please ask any questions you like.
