Nope, no cameras on this one. I hope that the sides come out okay. I could totally see how this could go south in a heartbeat.

I just placed my online order for 8" mahogany pedestals and 6 mahogany legs. These little beauties cost more than the entire rest of the project. :banghead:

Mccoy...Could you please post a link to where you purchased these items you speak of? Hopefully you won't have to kill me if you do.
Oh, that is an UNBELIEVABLE dining room table BTW! WOW! :D

Well, I'm happy to announce that I'm still alive. I've been working over 80 hours a week with my pool business and I honestly have had time to do nothing. Since I have had some success with poker over the past few months, I treated myself to a 650 chip set of Paulson's Tophat and Cane clay chips. With the price tag around the $800 range, I hope they are worth the hype. I bought them online on Friday, and will post picks when they arive.
Well, I have a couple days off coming up, and I've decided to get a few more details done on the poker tables. Here is how I'm going to use the plexiglass that goes around the racetrack part of the table. I'm glad I used a sample piece, as it has shown me some things I will need to address on the real pieces.
1. I drew up the borders and the triangles first. I then used a hobby knife to cut out the red triangles.
2. Here is the red layer painted from the backside.
3. Here is the grey area prepped for paint.
4. Here is the grey area painted on the back.
5. Here is the black layer painted on the back.
6. Here is the final product. When I get the rest finished, I'll show the plexi placed on the table. I think it matches the center felt very well. Note: I didn't let the paint set up, so you can see the blemishes of removing the paper before the paint dried. That error will not be repeated. I was more worried about the overall project and knew that there would be temporary problems.

I received the new poker chips today! :applaud: If you know nothing of poker, then these will mean nothing to you. If you're a player, then this will be of interest. I'm very happy with the quality of the chips. I ordered 650 and I believe I'm going to order 100 more. Here are some various pics of the chips. As you can tell, I'm very excited about this.
Chips: Paulson Tophat and Cane collection.
Purchased from: Apache chips
