Building your own table

[rookette22]

Hey you having another home game, on or around the 10th of Feb.?

I have a friend's hockey tourney in Ottawa Hull on the 10th of Feb., and we're thinking of taking a little road trip to Toronto, if all goes as planned. Maybe I'll stop by and see you and Nikita, would be nice.

P.S.: that's if I don't lose my money at the hotel which I'm staying at lol

Our home game this month is set for the 7th, we haven't set a date for February yet though. The 10th is a possibility, but we get more people to show up if it's set for a Saturday. This will probably be decided during our home game this week. Or Rob might have already decided on a date (he'll likely respond later, he's not home at the moment, I sent him out shopping).

You are definitely welcome plus there is a lot of fishies at our home game. We've got at least two calling stations, one guy who thinks it's all luck, another who plays her gut feelings (if she shows up, she's rather flakey too). It was fairly easy money for Rob and I during the first home game we held.

Just be warned though, London is a two hour drive from Toronto, so I don't know if you want to put that much time on the road just to get to our place.

Well if anything I can't be there on the 10th to the 12th of Feb. Don't worry bout fixing your poker schedule around my time. If I do end up coming near London maybe I'll email you guys and we can have lunch somewhere, ok? That will be kewl.

Lunch would be cool too. And the schedule will be more dependant on my work schedule. I get it 3 weeks in advance and I could be scheduled any day of the week between 7am to midnight.

Here's a pic of my table from my game Saturday night. I can get you more pics if you're interested. It turned out really well especially considering this is the first time I've really tried anything like this.

Mighty nice looking table there Spidey!

That's something along the lines of what I'm going to buy. I don't think that my carpentry skills are where they should be to tackle a table with a race track.

Hell, the two I whipped together don't even have a padded rail. I basically took a 4x8 of 1/2" plywood (well, two of them), cut them into ovals, sanded the edges, then slapped on some dark cloth that was cheap and called it finished. I just finished them up today so I haven't had a chance to take any pics yet.

All that's left to do now is fabricate a type of "locking mechanism" to attach them to the tables I'll be using in a non-permanent manner. I'll probably work on that tomorrow.
