@WhiteMamba1646 That table turned out real nice. That chip set is one of my favorite custom builds. Simple with amazing color.

That table came out great! Where’s the cloth from?

thank you! @T_Chan custom cloth! Worth every penny

Very cool. Kinda wishing I didn’t upgrade to the speed cloth now!

 

[rjbf65]

That custom cloth is a thing of beauty!

 

[raynmanas]

replacing the cloth with SSC on one of these is my project for later today. appreciate the info and pics in this thread!

 

[raynmanas]

and done! pretty straightforward project, as others have mentioned the hardest part was lining up the pattern in the middle.

 

[TheWoods]

@raynmanas Wow, very nicely done!

Nice job! Put some new cup holders in there if you can. It makes a huge difference

ha, it's a cheapo hand-me-down from my father-in-law, i am just learning it. normally there is a guitar in that spot.

i probably will at some point, i actually already own a 2.75" hole saw. i haven't looked yet, but i would like to find black instead of silver cupholders if i am going to upgrade.

Finally was able to get away with picking up a Barrington. This is an odd one in that it has a printed hard top and then the felt lies on top. Which is fine for now as my kids are young and there will be spills. Then I'll re-felt it when I can. The opposite side of the poker felt is blackjack. It's also only a 6 foot which is the biggest that will fit the room.

Another successful upgrade! Had this thread bookmarked for ages. Followed @jcooper911 steps with no issues. Deeper cup holders on order and will be installed later this week, along with some handles to help with carrying.

I need to get off my duff and start on this! Should be a good project while we're still locked up

It’s really pretty straight forward. Only a few hours if you are doing it solo, and less if you have some help.

(By the way, didn’t you start this thread nearly 2 years ago???)

Yes, and I seem to be the ONLY one that hasn't even started

Getting started is the hardest part...

You got this!

 

[Forty4]

I’ve started but think my table has been apart longer than it was ever together even counting slow boat from China. Maybe soon finally got the Volara foam after experimenting with other types.

just ordered these guys: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W2JBLJJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the drill attachment. looking forward to the deeper cup holders. last time we played we had 2 drink spills

some random questions for people:

• instead of folding up the table, i just leave mine out. would this put extra stress on the wire?
• i noticed where the table folds the fabric is a little loose. nothing crazy, but bothers me. has this happened with anyone else? worth it to try and tighten it?

 

[TonZaga]

John,

• I've left mine out in my basement for several months now and I'm not seeing any issues yet.
• If you have the stock fabric on, I'd replace with a different surface.
  • If you've already replaced it with SSC or other, I was able to remove the hinges, pull tight, restaple, and reinstall the hinges.

yep, i put SSC on it. was hoping i could avoid taking the hinges off again. was a bit of a pain lol or maybe it was all of the rails

Just received my new cup holders and will be putting them in this week.

Question for others who replaced cup holders - did anyone attempt jumbo size? I see a few styles where they would just be too deep and not allow the table to fold up without having to remove them. For the record, I order standard size, but these jumbos seem like they would not be too deep for the Barrington - https://amzn.to/308Zq9I



Thoughts???

reminds me i need to order these too. this has probably been asked/answered, but can they accommodate a regular pint glass?

regarding folding, my table (with cover) has become my work from home desk for the time being, so it has been unfolded/set up since i bought it, and used daily since mid-march. i don't think there is any concern with stress on the wire.

Standard cans and bottles - no problem. For a standard pint glass, I'd say "sort of." The glass fits in partially, but does not reach the bottom of the cup holder, allowing for a little instability (aka, it can wobble).

nice comparison. for the pint glass, is it "spill-able"... which is what I want to avoid.

thanks for doing this - the pint glass still looks like it would be safer than in the stock cupholders.

The pint glass isn't coming out of the cup holder with a tap or bump. But, if it's full, liquid could spill over the lip of the glass. I don't think you have to worry about a fully knocked over glass though (unless your crew is a bit more rowdy).

good to know. we had a 2 spills last time, both were bottles. wonder how a solo cup would be? not sure if its the same size as the pint glass.

Standard 16 oz plastic cup (side note: not Solo brand). Fits snug. Appears stable.
