Re: I Want To Build A Table
Two guys, one with woodworking skills, who were thinking about doing tables as a side business built a table that I agreed to purchase.
After the 11 hour Saturday it took them (no racetrack, just felt and elbow rest area), they swore off doing another.

My brother is a carpenter. If he wakes up at 7am and starts working, how long will it take him to build a table?

I'm engineer, it takes a few beers to think... Joking - 5 to 6 hours if you have all the materials and tools, a solid weekend if you're not handy.

Re: I Want To Build A Table
Thanks for the links. It should be a great help. I think I will try a basic one first to see how it ends up. After that I will use better materials the next time I build.

CanSpoilU That is a fine table. How much do you think you spent on materials? [/ QUOTE ] About $400. Some of my high ticket items were the whisper vinyl, Joann's velveteen, Smackdogg cupholders (big enough for a pint glass), the foam, etc. There were other things I needed to buy (tools) that added to the cost. I needed a 3 5/8" holesaw for the cupholders. Clamps to clue the boards together. Stuff like that, which I wouldn't need to buy again if I built another table. Actually I just found my old sheet that itemized everything. Here it is. Poker Table Costs Plywood - $115 1" Rail Foam - $70 Whisper Rail Vinyl - $30 Truck Rental - $20 Cupholders - $29 T bolts - $3 Machine screws - $3 Wood screws - $6 Poly - $15 Mineral - $15 Sandpaper - $12 Velveteen - $35 1/4 headliner - $25 Staples - $10 Wood glue - $7 Table legs - $20

I believe they were $35 each at Home Depot. Since I was doing a racetrack and you will see the actual plywood... I went with the best grade available. Everything is also more expensive in NYC than out in the sticks... so that would probably factor in as well.

[/ QUOTE ] Do all three planks need to be cabinet grade? It would seem that only one of the three needs to be because only one will be showing. The rest are all covered, correct?
