High-End European table (2 Viewers)

I gotta admit, the worst day of poker still beats pretty much any other day, but you get my point.

As for the cup holders in the rail, they can act as solid support for the dining top. On mine the dining top isn't quite heavy enough to push the foam down to the level of the cup holders, so I put some spacers in. Improved it for sure, but a dining top like this will never be as solid as a normal table.

I hate playing 10 handed. My casino does it all the time (10 players + the dealer).
It's fking crammed and very slow. And that is with players that actually came to play poker and a dealer to move things along.

In my group of players, there are only 2, maybe 3 players at the table who actually come for the poker. The rest is there to socialize, tell a good story, drink and have fun. I've had exactly one game with 10 players and wanted to kill myself after 10 hands or 1 1/2 hours in.

For that exact reason, I built my table designed for 8 players so that this situation could never occure again.

8 is definitely the magic number

Slide in cup holders FTW.

Means you can add remove them depending on how many players you have.

Pascal Jarque doesn't offer that, as I 've found out.
Apparently, the rail is firmly attached, somehow, to the playing surface.

Really? I would have thought you could slide the cup holder in no bother. Ah well.

Seriously though, if you want to play with 10 people, get that many cup holders. The spreading out I described above would work wonderfully for 7 players (or less, of course). With ten seats you'd have three left open, so basically you'd have people sitting in groups of 2+2+3. In the groups of 2 the players take a couple of cm extra space from each other, and in the group of 3 the middle player sits straight in front of his cup holder and the others move a bit to the sides. I think this should work fine. When you get to 8+ players, it will be more crowded.

The norm is going to be 8 people. Anything more than that would be an emergency.

Admittedly, most beautiful table Jarque has ever made is yours!

 

[Coyote]

Jarque had to reprogram his CNC to have large cupholders on the rail. The latter's width now should be 12-12.5 cm, in comparison to Jarque's normal 9mm-wide armrest.
The rail had also to be raised by 10mm so that cupholders do not protrude under the table.

The magnificent Marengo legs had to be customized too, having a "foot base" 5cm (2in) narrower now along the long side of the table. They are normally destined for huge casino tables, 50in wide.

Communication has been excellent; it would have been almost impossible though (for such levels of customisation) if I didn't understand French.

Here is the final top view (the red line representing the armrest). Dimensions 48x80in.
I made sure to have a relatively smaller betting area, in favor of a generous players' zone around it.

Seem a bit bland, i assuming it just for placeholder but maybe 2 owl at each side and your club name in huge font in the middle ?

Maybe more background usage ?

 

[Coyote]

I thought it over a lot and decided one bird is optimal

 

[Coyote]

And, the lines are not really white, but rather "cool grey 1", the lightest grey possible.
I 'm not sure if the very discreet pattern on the players' zone is visible on computer screens.

Extreme Squid poker, I would love to see that. People dangling from the rail, trying to catch their cards thrown to them without loosing their grip to the rail. Claw machines to grab chips at the felt, winner has to rappel down to the table to collect his winnings, etc. It would be like a squid game but with drunken poker players instead.

In the making

Finished! Let's see how long it will take from Montpelier to Athens

Congrats my friend, stunning table

Whoa! Let’s see how long it takes from Stockholm to Athens! Beautiful!

I assume I can expect my invitation to athens for the inaugural game in my mailbox any day now?

Just tell me which set you wanna play with: Athenian Owls V1 or V2 or Horseshoe Pesta 1895 Paulson or Horseshoe Pesta 1895 CPC hot-stamped

 

[Eriks]

Clearly, it’ll be a 4-day event minimum

Yes

 

[BonScot]

Looks amazing. Well done.

Clearly!

Delivery tomorrow. I got half the day off from work.
200kg box to be lifted to the 6th floor using a crane.

 

[Coyote]

Chairs coming in too, simultaneously.
There is something worse than having a strict Director at your job: you being the Acting Director, being responsible for the whole fucking Directorate. Don't expect any pics till the day after tomorrow

 

[Coyote]

Both the table and the new chairs are here!

The table didn't make it totally unscathed, though

 

[allforcharity]

Ouch. Some wood filler and a vinyl repair kit?

 

[BPTDirector]

Unfortunate damage to an awesome design and execution.

 

[NeoViny23]

oh man, I really hope that these can be fixed in one way or the other…. Pressing all my thumbs…
nevertheless, what a gorgeous table!

 

[Coyote]

It's not worth fixing it now.
The slight damage can be considered as a beauty spot, just like a stray tooth in a gorgeous woman's smile, making her even more voluptuous
If it deteriorates in two or three years' time, I 'll use the insurance money to repair Her (la table, la tavola, Die taffel)

 

[NeoViny23]

How is the plate attached with the Poker Table? Or is this plate loose on top?
