Thanks guys!

Wish I would've thought to make my own chip tray, those things are pretty pricy for what they do. :)

Yes, exactly my thoughts! Fortunately I had some leftovers laying around so I only had to buy the paint.

Very nice table, Nightspirit. Mind if I ask where you bought your chips from?
I got them from Amazon.de ( the German site), nothing special, around €23 for 500 chips. That's the article on the US site: http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Cat-Holde...e=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1243251176&sr=8-1

It's not the best quality, the edges crack easily. Next time I would probably spend some more money for the chips. Sometimes there are some good offers for "Nevada Jacks" on Ebay but you have to take care not to buy any replicas.

How is the progress of the craps table you are building Chef?

I used search and tried google. I would like to make an authentic looking BJ table for my basement. Anyone have plans or can provide a link. Also, even if you don't have plans, please post some pics of what you have. Thanks
Take a look at Tarzan's avatar. He made it himself, like Sonny.

Gambler's Fallacy

Sonny said:
Plans?! You don't need no stinkin' blueprints! There's only two kinds of people who use blueprints: Idiots...and people who know how to read blueprints. I'm neither, and my BJ table came out just fine. It even doubles as a minibar!

-Sonny-
Nice job. Was this the Gambler's Fallacy DeLuxe model you made? :cat:
PS Do you deal to yourself?

I have actually begun taking the walls off to fix the padding under the layout because of the heat...something went awry with the adhesive I suppose. But I started that yesterday and should be able to get everything back together and get back to practice. Unfortunately it'll be a while yet before I get around to making chip rails and the finishing touches...but I'm practicing and playing, so that makes me happy :grin:

Again, nice table!

good luck

Thanks Chef, sorry to hear that something went wrong with the adhesive. I used spray adhesive for the padding under the layout, hope I don't have to do it again. For the walls I used double-sided tape for the padding under the fabric but I don't know for sure if that's a better solution.
Hopefully you show us a picture when you finished your table! :)

I surely will! As long as you are as patient as I am :grin: Just finished completely overhauling the kitchen in time for a couple other big projects...but I always find time to either practice on the table or get a little more done on it :cool2:

good luck

Another Table

Nice Blackjack tables everyone. Here's one more for you to look at.
I got started with the plans here: http://www.buildyourownblackjacktables.com/

Not the greatest plans but it got me started and I just made it in a way that was easiest for me. I used an old aquarium stand for the base and built a rounded front to match the curve of the table.

Practicing is much more fun with a casino style table.
Now...where did that dealer go?

Pretty solid work MP! Even the dealer has a cupholder! :grin: The old aquarium stand looks perfectly for the table.

tables all look great! any good sites for some of the fancier table felts?
I would check out Ebay regulary, sometimes they have some really nice layouts there for decent prices (mine was about €20).
Here are also a few:

Thanks NS, it was a fun project. The dealer cupholder is because at this table we allow, no, encourage the dealer to drink. Makes for better payouts. :grin:

Nice work, you too, MP. No ashtrays? Must be only healthy APs allowed there. But I think you might need to call the police. Your chip tray seems to be one purple light. Any suspects on video?

Wow, good eye Kat. You know I thought the same thing, but evidently the purple chips are ever so slightly thinner than the other chips. It makes it appear that I'm one short. :)

OK, break it up everyone, no crime here, nothing to see, beat it! :grin:
