New table build from boat shaped conference table (2 Viewers)

[WedgeRock]

I foresee a new build off... Entrants buy a fugly thread-worthy table and give it a face lift... Best result wins the internet.

Fantastic Job! Very creative and patient.

If I order one from you for $180 plus shipping...and can I have it tomorrow?

You just missed the boat. I only do woodworking in 70+ degree weather. Reach out to me next year.

Played on the table twice now and noticed one big thing that I don't like. The playing surface is so slick that sometimes when I deal to positions 3, 4 & 5 the cards would stick between the table and the rail and lift up a bit. I'm in the process of raising the rail with one sheet of plywood. I'm not sure how I would to finish the edge yet, any suggestions?

1" strip of wood veneer - home depot has red oak and white birch - that's what I did for my raised rail.

I was just searching online hoping to find t-molding that looks like carbon fiber or brushed stainless.

I've never used T molding, but the outside your table looks really nice.

Iron on veneer strips work well.

Against the advice from PCF members and my better judgement I went ahead and lifted my rail up 1.25".
Nothing was done permanently and can easily be reduced in thickness or removed if the height is uncomfortable for the players.
I found a local cabinet shop that was advertising left over T-Molding for sale and picked up this "brushed steel" look plastic edge banding.

Yes, its staying like it is unless I get some complaints

Someday when I can manage to host a bigger/better homegame and hire a dealer(or teach my kid to deal cards lol), I will want to make a badass table like this. Looks great!

 

[allforcharity]

Looks awesome!

 

[Dr Lecterr]

Absolutely love this table!!!! Great work. Thanks for the pictures

 

[stonker]

My custom cloth is in!!! I'm hoping to install it today.

A very special thanks to p5woody for putting up with me throughout this process and bringing my vision to life.

Wow!

Sick table.

1) I know you solved this issue, but for non-raised tables where cards are going under the rail: I had this problem with a previous table, and the simple solution was to get some white cotton twine, lay it around the problem area, and push it in until you couldn’t see it. A card might still manage to get in a 1/4” or so but it won’t disappear.

2) Love the use of the boat-shaped table. The subtle curve of the long sides is good for both the dealer (more width at the middle) and for players’ sight lines.

I built a super-ellipse table, and the shape is not unlike your modified boat. The players on the long sides can see each other better.

Black enamel paint?

Cloth mounted and table re-assembled. The racetrack and community card area has a grained stainless steel look that the camera is not picking up well.

 

[WedgeRock]

Really exceptional execution. The brushed metal raised rail matched to the board area is a nice touch to bring the table together.

 

[RoyalBluff]

This is amazing! Well done!

Despite not being a fan of dealer trays I really really love this table.
That custom felt really makes it!
Hat's off to you sir.

once i seen the cloth ,i see the concept with the carbon fiber t-molding. that would also have looked amazing. The brushed steel will still show up in a medium lighted room no so sure the carbon fiber would have. Fantastic work, hope you many happy games
