Howdy folks,
New member, first post. I just found this site and looks like an awesome forum to discuss all things man cavish (which I'm in the process of pimpin out)
First off, I'm a normal guy, love my poker, beer, and building stuff (using tools). I've played poker for many years, but it wasn't until I was invited into a neighbors crazy man cave for a poker game that I decided to up the ante, getting a set of nice chips. That led to me needing a padded table so I wouldn't damage the chips...
I built my first table (round 46") after studying hours of how too's online. It turned out good. Check out the pics below.
That led me to wanting a side table for drinks, which resulted in these two creations, a TV table with padded SSC and cupholders, and a hydrolic stainless base with a poker top to match the first table. This table lowers to coffee table height and raises to standing height. Cool, eh?
The next evolution occurred when I discovered some industrial mini restaurant bistro tables on CL for $5 each. I converted these into mini poker side tables, that can be used for poker, euchre, chess, or to keep your chips on.
I also found a new, but abused, hold'em table on CL for a steal. I upgraded this cheap table with a new rail, and just about everything else. Probably cheaper to start from scratch...
Check out my pics a feel free to comment (both good and constructive feedback welcome)
