Racetrack style poker table. Small youtube video added to show lighting.
bfauska:
Great looking project. I've been watching the whole time and the finish is great, the transition from raw wood to finished really shows the beauty of the wood. I'm sure you'll enjoy many games at that great looking table, and now with the lights you can leave the room lit dimly for comfort and still see the cards. (and make people say "wow look at those cool lights")
On the camera model, if you use webcams you could use a software system like jaxcam (I think that's what it's called) to view all the video feeds at once. Viewing 10 cameras on a TV would take much more complex and expensive hardware.
richms:
4 way quad splitters are peanuts on ebay or chinavasion etc, that could feed 2 TV outputs so if you had a tv with picture and picutre you could see them all.
Depends if your going windowed table or the ones on the side which the player has to lift the side for the camera to see. If the latter then its not much use as the cards are not visable all the time. If you could process the image and freeze on the cards automatically or something then it would be good, but just watching the feeds really needs the windows in the table, and thats always not quite felt right to me (not that I have played with it at all)
Also, whos going to be watching the video feed is something else. It would be cool to have them but if you are playing with a room of drunkards next door they will get loud and give away whats going on ;)

Great news! I remade the center and put the red felt on it tonight. It came out very good. Since I have to get up for work in about 2.5 hours, I'll post pics later on tonight. :cheers:
EDIT: Thanks guys for the great comments! I've been so busy lately that I've been lame on the replying, but I do appreciate everything! :cheers:

This is absolutely one of the most impressive threads I've seen. WOW.
Amazing, amazing work.
From one poker player to another, I really admire the woodworking skills of you have there.
Now add a hidden shelf with a laptop that comes out with wireless internet access for playing online when your poker buddies are away. :D
Fantastic work, man.
