Racetrack style poker table. Small youtube video added to show lighting.

Okay, I fixed the "v" gap issue I had by making a new middle section. I added an 1/8" hardboard around the edge then addd a 3/16" piece of wood to make the fit very tight. I went with a red minisuited poker cloth this time and I love it. The foam this time is much stiffer than the last stuff I used, but I still like it a lot. :cheers:

First of all great looking table. I love the look of it. A couple of questions though, how did you bend the wood for the skirt and the drawer? I'm guessing a steam box, but was just wondering. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now, just havn't figured out the easiest way to. Also what did you do to attach the padded rail to the plexi? Again great skills and a job very well done!

Thank you for the compliments! I actually cut the strips to width, planed them down, and then soaked them in a tub of water. I had to make them pretty thin. They were 3/16" thick and I cut a 1/32" dado into it to line up with the table top. Hope that helps!

I put nuts in the top rail and bolted it to the table from the bottom.
www.scottkeen.com/forum is the place to go for all table questions. It is the most comprehensive place I have seen in regards to do it yourself.
EDIT: DON'T MIND THE PICS. :cheers:
