DIY - Poker Table w/ Racetrack and Lights Build 

Thank you - give it a go and if you have questions please let me know - post your video of the build.

Thank you - I look back now and think it could have been more detailed without adding too much. Glad you enjoyed it.

I spent about $300 in materials. It took me about 8 to 10 total hours (minus the time to let the poly dry). If you build one without a race track (no wood edge just cloth all the way out) it would take a about 5 hours total I would guess. Really not that bad of the time investment for the return on a nice table to play on. I am guessing if you build a nice table for $200 - $300 in materials you could sell for $400 - $500 fairly easy and more if you go fancy.

I used an 1/8" closed cell foam.

The foam most on line poker suppliers carry is called Volara, it’s a really dense foam sheet product.

The race track and the center part are both 1/4" thick and attached to a 3/4" piece under it. On the center I used 1" screws from the bottom up because even if the tip poked through a hair, the rubber would prevent you from feeling it. The race trace got a few 7/8" screws from the underside plus the foam rail sits on it so it really does not move at all with that.

Or........and hear me out on this......go F&ck yourself.....don't like it I don't care - go make your own cheap as hell boring ass all felt table......

hahahahhahah i love that@@2GuysandaPodcast

@@2GuysandaPodcast HAHAHAHA I clicked here to put a similar reply but your was best. I personally love the race track design (did it myself).

Racetracks look cool, but they're not really player friendly. Chips slide too easily on them, and you will encounter problems pushing stacks from your position, onto the cloth. For serious players, i wouldn't do a racetrack, but for occasional home games, it looks nice and fancy. It really depends on preference, but I wouldn't go off the deep end about it, like that other guy did, lol!

Racetracks are super trash
