How to Build a Poker Table

Building a poker table is easier than you think and there is certainly no need to buy plans to build a poker table! Here are my favorite links to homemade poker tables - they all include free instructions on how to make a poker table. There are plans for how to build an oval poker table, how to build a round poker table, how to build an octagon poker table, and how to build an elliptical poker table.

Most of these tables are made using one or more 4' x 8' sheets of plywood to construct a poker table. Some of these poker tables have rails and some include cup holders. Some tables are covered with poker cloth or billiard felt, others use faux suede or velveteen or include LED lighting. Most of these poker table designs have a couple cases of beer included in the parts list. These poker tables are as individual as the owners themselves!

Why Was That Table Removed From This Page?

The only reason that I remove tables from this page is because that particular website is no longer available.
