This set us back several hours while they juiced up. Mistake #2: The power tools weren't charged, though they claimed to be. The right size was 3/4' and that's what we ultimately cut. Kat said that as she watched the wind push me from behind, it looked like a piece of plywood was sneaking down the road. Way too thin-and we didn't realize this until we'd walked the 8'x4' beast home in high winds.

Neither of us actually printed out Jeff Croft's article before going to buy wood, so we guessed at 1/4' plywood for the base. We made our first mistake in picking the raw materials. But some of the pictures have spots on them from the sawdust that got onto the lens, so I guess that tells part of the story, too. Well, actually, the captions tell the story.

We placed some orders from and, and within a week, we had our own table. This is the kind of thing that we are often likely to say. It looked gorgeous and, as such projects go, fairly easy to replicate. He already had an old table lying around so he converted it, using plywood and some gear from online casino supply stores. Then we both got the poker bug and heard about Jeff Croft's website that showed how to make your own Texas Hold 'Em table. The table, we figured, would act as the centerpiece so we could host board game nights and game shows and murder parties and what have you. When we moved into our current place, we decided to use its spacious two-car garage as a game room, since we needed to put those arcade machines somewhere. This is the kind of thing Kat is often likely to say. We didn't want to get rid of it, so we lugged it around to the next two places we lived, and Kat swore she'd refinish it herself. And then there was a leak in the apartment roof that we didn't know about, but it wound up destroying the finish. Removable leaf, gorgeous wood, great design.
