jgfore Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 How did you decide to joint each piece of the octogon? Dowels, Dimonos (spelling?), Screws? Nice job Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapid Roger Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I made an octgon poker table about 3 years ago myself. Mine is out of oak with orange felt and has fold-up legs but, it is not nearly as good looking as yours! Fantastic job!! Congrads and I hope you win ALOT of money and have ALOT of fun playing on it. It is beautiful. Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Bennett Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hi I see from your profile you have no age? Hope you're very young and filled with enthusiasm cos if that's the first piece you've done you have a great future. Very well done!!

samhell Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 First project? Do you often jump right into things? No small jewelry boxes or coasters or anything to start with huh? Just went for it! Very nice indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisK Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 That is a great looking table. I really like the choice of felt for it. I'm sure it will see hours of fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck.jared@gmail.com Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks!! if I put this on CL what should i ask for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Fantastic piece! What did you make the table top player areas out of? It looks like 4x8 (16/4) stock of something dark and pretty. I don't see any glue up lines. I have no idea what to ask for it, but my first thought was $800 or twice what you paid for materials, whichever is higher. This one is going for over $8000, and in some ways is not as nice as yours. Probably not as well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
