Will try to get some pics here, but recently came across a blackjack table for sale cheap on a local facebook garage sale page. It was $25, so I didnt think much. Figured it would be a small half moon banquet table or something, but lo and behold, I go to pick it up, and it is full casino size with a slot for cash drop, chip tray etc. Felt was ripped so I will be replacing that of course. One strange characteristic is that there is not a padded rail. Instead, the edge has a bent piece of wood that matches the legs. Not a bad look, but an actual rail would be nicer as I already use slide under rail drink holders for my poker table.
As far as the rail, would you use the top to trace a template for a regular wrapped rail? I am not the most gifted as it comes to building things. I built my poker table years ago and while it still stands and looks decent enough, certainly not top end like I've seen on this site. I was considering the "perfect padded rail rail". Or do I just refinish the wood and go with the original look and forgo cup holders?
Another option I am thinking of is that I can get a plexiglass top cut to same size to place over the playing surface so that it can double as a bar when not using it as a blackjack table. Anyone have any experience with cutting plexiglass? Do you think it is worth doing or should we just leave the blackjack table uncovered 24/7
This is very close to what I have but not quite exact.
