Nice to see it's finished. If I'm ever down in Portland, I'll show up for a game. You should do the same in Seattle. :D

BEAUTIFUL. When I get my job....I'm gonna build me one of these :)

edit: oh, i'm not ecstatic about the color choice, but as long as it feels nice, then it really doesn't matter all that much. Still awesome job!

That's a helluva lotta work!!! And the end result was definitely worth it. :beer: I like how you took lots of pics of all the steps and described what you were doing. Kind of a tutorial of sorts. :)

Best of luck; I hope you win lotsa money!!!! Great job!!

Wow awesome work! I wish I had the tools and skills to make something like that, while it looks simple probably wasn't all that easy to do. I'm jealous, now go sell it on ebay for $100's more than you paid for it... how much did it cost btw? :)

That is sweet. Now get 15 layers of poly on it and the cards will glide down the table :D

Nevermind, this is what happens when i dont read and look at pix. Forget about the poly, i thought it was wood top :D

If you are ever in the Northern Virginia area and looking for games PM me. I know of house games that range from $20 buyin to $1000 buyin. Also I noticed you have Kem decks to play on too. What I would recommend you add to the table to let people have their drinks while playing is building a rail on the bottom of the table for people to keep there drinks. This way drinks can't be spilled on the table itself.

What did you use for the padding? And where did you find that retractable table. I'm thinking of building one myself.

hahaha, you noob, if you bothered to read his 1st post, you'd realize he explains in full detail exactly where he got all the materials and how he did it.

Nice.

We made a really awesome octoganal poker table for my fraternity when we were pledging. I should take some pics of it.
