You wouldn't to have the plans for your round table online anywhere would ya? I just built a 7' oval and am thinking a round might be nice as well.

No. Just in my head. Most of it was gathered from PCPotato's site (just Google PCPotato).

However, if you want a 6' round table you are gonna need to join 2 4'x8' pieces together to make one big 8'x8' piece.

The reasoning you dont see tables bigger than 4' on the short side is because lumber typically only comes in 4' x 8' pieces.

Once you have that, cut it round, slap on a racetrack, a playing surface (removable for sure...dont glue your felt cause you will replace it), a nice rail and some legs and your done! That's all there is to it. Oh yea, then cut some holes for drink holders....that's it!

You can get plywood in 6ft x 6ft sheets, don't bother asking the highschool kid at the Home Depot "contractor services" desk about it, they will likely inform you that plywood only comes in 4x8 sheets. Go to a real lumber yard and ask the old dude you find there. Prepare to pay a lot more per sq.ft. than you would for the same quality in 4x8.

You can also buy a 6ft round table for about $200, I believe. You could go to a party rental supply house and try to buy a used one since you just need a solid structure, you don't really care what condition the surface is in.
