42"x96" 3/4" particle board sc...to a 72" folding table As you can see, Reggie has already gotten comfortable. 
1/4" Birch plywood tacked to t...rted drawing cut lines
Required accessories for the j...er.gif" border="0">
One end of the table cut
My handy curve drawing tool! 1...es drilled for curves. No string compasses here!
Looking down the table
My table is going to look similar to this, without cup holders. The wood area will be white, with dark purple, almost black playing surface. Rail vinyl cover TBD. I got such a good deal on the fabric, I hope to find a similar deal on the vinyl. More pics to follow, I've stopped for the night since my downstairs neighbors came home.
UPDATE #1
Most of the cutting done!
Birch plywood cut, center will have foam and felt.
With out center, the outer bir...ue.gif" border="0">
Had to see what the felt was g...py.gif" border="0">
Some basics about the table:
It measures 96"x42"
Will have a 3" padded rail around the edge
5" 'racetrack' area for drinks and chips. I can fit 3 stacks of chips front to back.
Playing surface is 80"x26"
Can sit 10 very comfortably.
More pics to follow, going to start the whitewashing tonight or tommorrow, got a lot of sanding to do first!:beer:
UPDATE #2
Outer ring whitewashed, starti...le.gif" border="0">
Inner piece hit with polyureth...er.gif" border="0">
Foam pad and felt goes on tomorrow, and I'll start coating the ring with polyurethane (Going to take a lot of coats!). Should be playable for my Thursday game (minus the rail). This will be way better than playing on a dining room table. :thumbsup:
UPDATE #3
Center insert with mounting hardware
Center now covered with foam
">Bottom view, covered with foam and playing felt
Insert set on table
Now set in place
Close up of playing surface
Now, on to the rail. This will be the part that I'm not looking forward to. I'm going to attempt a one piece rail, with no seams. which means one piece of vinyl, with lots of stretching and detail work. For now, I think I'll go have a few :beer:'s
Update #4
The rail is almost done! I've had less time to work on my table than I would have liked, but I'm getting there. My dreams of a seamless rail lok to be realistic, now to work on stretching the vinyl to eliminate wrinkles. Pics:
Rail on the table
Still need to pull the vinyl down around the table lip
On the felt
Felt, wood, rail
Update #5 (Finally done)
Finished table, and it only took me 6 weeks!
Now on to the game tonight, 8 players, $40 buy in, no limit Hold 'Em. What do you all think of the finished product?
Edit : .NET upgrade fubared my previous links, I think they all work now.
