New table build from boat shaped conference table (1 Viewer)

[HeWhoWouldPun]

Turned out great. Thanks for sharing the journey.

Just about done. Thinking of making a pull out drawer large enough to hold a 1000 chip inventory tray and accessories.
Not all of the numbers are in but there is a good chance that total out of pocket for this build is less than $180.

Wow only $180! That's amazing. My custom table cost me a small fortune haha.

Sorry, I may have miscalculated. I think its closer to $155.

It’s looking like $155 only because I purchased a used conference table with 9 chairs for $100 and sold the chairs for $125. If you don’t count selling the chairs I’m looking at $280.

Thanks, I am planning to build a poker table with my friend.

It's so satisfying building your own table. I've made a couple now and find wrapping the rail to be the hardest part. Using a hot air gun to soften the vinyl has made a huge difference. Good luck with your build.

The table came out great, very nice. What did you use to edgeband? It looks like vinyl?

T-molding

Here’s a couple pics of a short section of the T molding.

Where do you get that? And how did you put the slot in for it?

The T molding was already on the conference table. I was able to remove it and reinstall with no problems.
I see T molding readily available from many sources online.
I cut the 1/8" wide slot with a router bit like the attached pic.

Stonker, I can’t believe you made THAT out of THAT!

Hoping I get to play on it sometime!

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Played our first game on it last night. As the dedicated dealer I was very happy with the size and shape of the table. The chip tray and drawer were awesome to have. I never thought I'd say this but I think this table warrants a custom Chanman layout. It's time to start thinking about a layout design. Any advice for designing the cloth is greatly appreciated.
