Default Re: Building a home Poker Table

Thanks. I've gotten many positive responses on the rope lighting addition. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

For the playing surface, I used something I've not heard anyone mention yet in all the poker tables I've seen online. I had ordered a small sample of velveteen fabric from an online supplier and wasn't impressed. I decided not to waste $50 on velveteen or speed cloth. Instead, I made a trip to the local fabric store and found their selection of "quilter's flannel". Quilter's flannel is perfect for the poker table playing surface because it's cheap (about $3/sqr yard), comes in countless colors (because they use it to make colorful patch-work quilts), and has a feel that resembles casino felt. Cards glide just as well over it as any other material I've seen people using for their tables. I figured why not save myself $35-40 dollars? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
