I have run a regular game out of my house for years. Years ago I built a very basic table (pic attached) that has served me well. However, after nearly a decade, I’m frustrated enough with some of the things I did when I built that table and have decided to build a couple of new tables.
My table, I built at 4x7 feet with rounded corners and feel it is too wide; it wobbles something awful. Part of the wobble is due to the cheap folding table legs, but the largest factor is the table width. I have seen a guy online that builds finished sawhorses to use as table legs. This seems like a good idea to me since the table is still portable while gaining some stability. Anyway, I was thinking of collapsing the table dimensions to 44”x 84” – does anyone have any thoughts on those dimensions?
My table felt is velveteen and it has been awesome; it has held up extremely well over the years and is my clear preference for felt. However, I have recently found a material online made of wool:
http://www.casinosupply.com/wool-casino-poker-table-layout-cloth-sold-per-running-foot-purple/
In fact, the site above doesn’t even offer velveteen. I am wondering if I should go with wool or keep on with velveteen; anyone? I really don’t think I want speed cloth but will consider it if someone thinks it’s better for some reason.
My idea for these new tables is still very simple. I don’t like racetracks, as good as they look they’re not very good in reality, and they’re kind of a pain to build. So, I am just planning on a 44”x84” table with some vinyl rail padding; unless anyone has any reason to suggest something different. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
