any poker players here??
 

just got done with my homemade poker table and figured i would share. it's my first table and i had minimal wood working experiance. the polyuerethane on the racetrack didn't turn out too well but i figure my next one will be better. the table was supposed to be 8' x 4' but my basement where i was building it has some funnky stairs and it was impossible to get the whole sheet down there so i had to cut it down to 86" x 44". should work fine and still seat 10 people but i think 8 would have been more comfortable.

Re: any poker players here??
 

Looks great, I love to play poker too bad your not in mn or else I'd play a game with ya, I went and played texas hold em at the casino for the first time a few weeks ago put $40 left with $89 in less than an hour :6

Re: any poker players here??
 

pretty sweet job! i need to make me one of those :y

Re: any poker players here??
 

damn looks professional

Re: any poker players here??
 

lol, that's what my girlfriend said.

it's funny because the only thing i have ever made before was a crappy speaker box that sounded like ----, so i was pretty suprised on how it came out too.

Re: any poker players here??
 

i can email you the plans that i put together from a few differant websites if you want. it wasn't very cheap but i will find my recaipts and post a total price of what it cost.

Re: any poker players here??
 

poker was hot about 6 months ago. it has since faded to the wayside liek competition car audio events. :8

Re: any poker players here??
 

poker has been around forever, so i really don't se how it "was hot" :1. if you don't know how to play then just say it don't make it sound some sort of fad like boosting hondas for cheap :4

Re: any poker players here??
 

damn hook me up with the plans you got for that poker table! I wanna make one. I play more poker than I should. I am known to play rather than study or do homework, even if there is a test/final the next day.

Re: any poker players here??
 

looks good, next week im goin to a texas hold'em tournament at my soon to be in-laws house.

Re: any poker players here??
 

soon to be in-laws? sounds like you might have to throw that game, lol.

i'll put all my info together and put a link in there for the table i got most of the ideas from so you can use it as a reference. before you start to make it you should try and figure out how big of a table you have room for. once i get a bigger house with a less awkward stairway i will be able to make a 8'x4'er that will seat 10 pretty comfortabley.

post your email and i will send it to you.

Re: any poker players here??
 

thats sick man i was thinking about making one..

Re: any poker players here??
 

nice job, my freinds and I made one a while back so i ca appreciate the work you put in. :y looks good, hope you win some cash to cover the cost

Re: any poker players here??
 

i used to play tournaments all the time. i def know how to play, but it gets old after a short while.

Re: any poker players here??
 

oic what you mean then, thought you were just trying to be a dick as usual :-\

Re: any poker players here??
 

thanks for the info buddy! Hopefully soon I'll be able to build one too. :y

Re: any poker players here??
 

I've been playing for about a little over a year now, lately my buddies have'nt been playing as much and I'll start missing it and find some way to play, I love it, mainly cause its gambling that is'nt all about luck

Re: any poker players here??
 

yeah we used to play at least once a week at my house but haven't played here since i started making this table. i need to find some more games becasue i know how all my regulars play so it really isn't gambling anymore :-[.

Re: any poker players here??
 

rough estimate of how much it cost to make? id love to make one. 8)

Re: any poker players here??
 

Nice, my roomate just bought a like 200-300 dollar table from sears. Wood and leather. The thing was a ----- when he got it but now everyone is duetchbags about playing.

Re: any poker players here??
 

i totalled up all my reciepts and it came to $221.36. it should have been more but i used a 40% off coupon at Jo-Ann's fabric and my dad got the foam from work for me. so i would say add about another $80 or so.
