Some of the tools used in this video:
Porter Cable US58 Upholstery Stapler: amzn.to/2QA9S4A
I've had this stapler since I built my first poker table in 2006. It's amazing, and it still works amazing 14 years later. I watched the Adam Savage poker table build and watching him do the staples with a manual gun made me cringe. If you're going to build a table, use a great air powered staple gun. Your hands and muscles will thank you later. And get a good air compressor driven gun. Electric models won't do the job.

Circle Jig: I built my own this time! It was crude, but it worked! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I am deeply amazed at the amount of clamps he has. great build !
As the great norm Abram once said you can’t have too many clamps
I’ve watched this video multiple times during my poker room basement renovation. Hands down best video I have watched , thanks for posting !
I also yelled "Wooooooohhhh" when you finished the upholstery! Lol!... amazing job!
I respect people like you, hard working, highly skilled
Best use of a bread knife I've ever seen!
My man out here doing upholstery like he's in the pocket of Big Staple.
Very nice result for a very nice cause.
Mike DiEva I’m keeping those staple factories in business. Hey if one of them wants to help me out I’m all ears. I got some bills to pay and I’m not making money playing cards that’s for sure!
this is amazing. I love how well build this is.
You are truely amazing. What a superb poker table !
Perfectly executed build very impressive
excellent work and above all the amount of machinery that allows a fast and neat work, but the most notable thing is that you do not have to go to any casino we have it at home and enjoy it
My first table build (and last) I had a manual stapler. Lets just say I had a similar celebration when the vinyl on the raised rail was finished. Many beers were consumed during/after.
uclatimsta couldn’t imagine doing that with a manual stapler. Much ibuprofen and whiskey after!
@@DirkMade super late but I just saw this today. When I had my pool table installed the guy had a felt puller. It clamped about 2.5” of the felt at a time locked like a vise grip and you could pull it with one hand and staple with the other. Saving those cramps in the hands.
Wow what a nice work, look like you have a poker table company!!!
Super fantastic job! Thanks for sharing. Go Devils!
Bear down!
that table is sweet man. Great job
Amazing job sir! 💪
Bravo, time-lapse video was excellent, but slowing down for the dog helper visit was even better! I know it all too well.
Awesome! Great work! 👍👌👊🏻
Wow, glad I watched this before deciding to build my own. I would’ve been in way over my head!
best way to improve is by doing!
@DirkMade what did you use to glue the felt
Great job
impressive. very impressive.
Bob, owner of the hardware store: "Lemme guess... More Staples ?"
I second your amazement at quantity of clamps this man owns.
More. Need more.
Pretty good
Somebody at thanksgiving:”can anyone carve” Him: yes..say no more
thank you
Great staple gun documentary! JK. looks awesome. about to build one myself. this helped with some ideas. Thanks.
that was an awesome video
Good job
very nice!
Well done
16:18 best part of this build, by far
That’s Kona the workshop dog.
Amazing work dude! Where did you get the Rio WSOP fabric?
just....wow!
Very repressive table. I love it.
hope you meant "impressive" ha!
Holy staple Batman!!!
at 2:29, the way your router lines up perfectly with the curved cuts on the end of the board 😘👌
Great video! Would love to try this. Curious why you used the spacers, and layers on the rail instead of just a thicker rail? - Also, did you use anything to protect the felt where the screws went through?
Great job! How much did it cost you in raw materials?
New sub 💪🏿
Where you at? I see all the AZ stuff but the front yard doesn't look like a typical AZ front yard and you have a basement. Thanks for the video, gonna be building my table in a couple weeks and this video is a huge help. Forks up 🔱
Hello bro you’ve done a fantastic job and no one can say anything I really enjoyed and i wish I’m in your country I’ll visit you and request one table from you 🤣 because i like it hhhhh peace ✌️
genius
What kind of screw did you use close to the end of the video when you were securing the padded rails to the table. You used a Allen wrench to screw it. I’m trying to secure my padded rail to the table.
Good job!! Anyone knows If there is a webpage where i can get the materials to do it , im from spain. Thanks
7 / 2...all in!...:)
Awesome build. For the leather, how much extra fabric would you recommend for completing the upholstery on the arm rest. I am trying to get an idea for redoing the arm rest on my table
Hard to say without knowing the dimensions of your table rail, how thick it and the padding is, how stretchy the material is you are using, stuff like that. You are using real leather?
DirkMade my table is 6 and a half feet long and the its 3 and a half feet wide. The arm pads are 5” wide and are about 1.5” thick. I plan to use faux leather with a decent amount of stretch
Might need you to make three of these for me if possible 🙂$$ talks
Hello! please tell me what material did you use under the cloth?
what is the thickness of the paralon on the armrest?
very good work!
under the cloth as I mentioned in a prior comment is automotive headliner foam. I usually use something else called closed cell volara foam but this time that foam got ruined and I had to source something local and cheap. I actually prefer the auto headliner now. Not sure what paralon refers to.
where u get a felt cover ?
Hi Dirk
What material did you use for foam, for the arm rail ?
You mentioned you use foam from YAT, can you mention what foam you use specifically ?
I have this same question.
What were those hex type screws you used at the end of the video??
They attached the felted table top to the rail. I am currently building a table and would like to use them.
This might not be the exact right size, but I use basically these and get them at the big orange box store. www.fastenal.com/products/details/0140680
For the other end of the bolt, a lot of people building poker tables use T-Nuts but I prefer threaded inserts, install is easy as seen in the video. Make sure of course, that the thread sizes match. In this case, both bolts and inserts are 1/4"-20.

Great work! How wide did you cut the wood for the rail?
Nit Fish 5”. Look at measurements on the circle jig for the router. At 1:10 in video.
I know you mentioned where you got the rail foam, but do you remember the thickness of the foam? was it 1" or 2"?
1"
Do you have a materials list?
where did you get the felt from??
Where did you get the poker mat?
Very nice. I had problems with my foam rail and vinyl installation around the curves. What thickness of foam did you use?
I have always used 1” thick foam for rails.
@@DirkMade thank-you for the quick response.
May be silly, but, what specific staples are you using?
I used 18ga narrow crown staples (5/8” x 1/4”) for my speed cloth but don’t think they’ll suffice for the vinyl.
Thanks.
I use a porter cable us58 stapler. It takes 22 gauge staples I think. I normally use 1/4” or 3/8”
if i want buy this table , how much?
Where did you get the foams and vinyl
Looks great! How come you didn't sink the cup holders in to the tabletop or rail?
I have made several other tables, one with cup holders in the rail. That’s fine, but I prefer the slip under tabbed cup holders because you can move them anywhere and also remove them if not needed. Cup holders in the table surface are an absolute no from me.
@@DirkMade got a link for those cup holders? Very elegant solution.
Link for the felt?
Do you have plans for this table with the dimensions and the materials you used?
I don’t have written plans for it but there are plenty available online. See perfectmancave[dot]com. Or pokerchipforum[dot]com. Lots of table threads there. Pretty easy to figure out though. Full sheet of ply is 8’ x 4’. I use 3/4” thick plywood. You can see the radius sizes I used when I mark them on the circle jig. Some people build full plywood sheet size for a bigger table and don’t cut them down. I prefer a bit smaller size table.
Where can i order one please ?
What's the material you used under the felt? Looks like a thin foam?
In mine I bought a headliner foam
Where’d you get the felt?
Can this be cut in half then wrapped separately then put together with hinges for more convenient storage? I watch alot of table builds never saw one that folds.
I've seen folding tables, there's some builds on Poker chip forum dot com that I believe are done that way.
@@dirkeyman1066 Thanks I'll have to check them out.
Where did you get the rail padding? I can only seem to find padding rolls that are 2 feet wide or smaller. Also, is that 1" thick or 2"?
1” thick. Check out your auto trim dot com
Did you get blisters on your knuckles when doing the upholstery?? I did when i built mine haha
No blisters, but I did get a bloody thumbnail somehow. You can't see it much in the video because its mostly edited out but I kept wiping up the blood I was getting on the rail and had to put a bandage on to try and contain the dripping. That rail upholstery is no joke.
Where did you get the foam and 'felt'/ cloth from?
Rail foam I usually buy from yourautotrim.com. The under cloth foam here is from Joann Fabrics. I got the layout felt from eBay.
Awesome build. Learned a lot! Two questions: What's the dog called, and is there a pattern/method to your stapling, or is it just "as many as I can, wherever I can."?
Doggo's name is Kona, as in Kona coffee. There is a pattern to the stapling. Basically start on the outside sides, starting in the middle. Then the ends, and from there its a keep splitting the space in two. Inside rail is the same but from the inside of course. There are a lot of staples, but they're used to help keep the tension even on the fabric AND to make sure that all the wrinkles in the vinyl are worked out and gone. I use the end of the stapler to actually press out the wrinkles at times too if you watch closely. The vinyl will tear too if you don't put enough staples in because it wants to pull back. For some diagrams on what order to do the staples in an oval poker table rail, I'd suggest searching for that on the perfectmancavecom forum. Lots of discussion on rails there.
@@DirkMade Appreciate it! Want to use your build as a rough guide for mine. Have never done industrial upholstering before.
@@christianm6052 no sweat. Invest in a pneumatic stapler. Don’t use a manual. The one in the description is made for upholstery.
great video loved it but want to scale it down by about 20%... trying to sort of figure out the dimensions and I see the pivot points for the jig are at 22", 20" and 17" but my question is how far from the edge do you place the pivot nail in the main board and then you cutout the 5" rail piece with the router is it using the same pivot point in the 4x8 plywood board
You want to scale the table down? Its up to you - cut it the size you'd want. Some people build tables at the full sheet size, 4x8. Some go even larger but for me it makes more sense to cut the width down a bit at least. And do you want to sit 8, 9, or 10 players? It really is up to you and your specific needs. This one I think I cut 4" off the widtth of a full sheet, so the 22" radius for the ends. Also cut 4" off the length because I don't like a full 8 foot table. Then the size of the rail - some like 4", 5", 6". Again it comes down to preference. One note not shown in the video - when cutting the inside radius you need to account for the size of the router bit. So i actually put another hole in the jig at 16 3/4".
@@DirkMade Thank you - I built it today. Cut the width to 44" exactly like yours but left the length at 96" since the poker felt is 46 x 94. i started the first 2 inch radius cut for the underside of the rail and quickly realized it needed to move the pivot point since it was only coming out to 1.5" width. I kept the rail 5" wide exactly like your dimensions - one thing i didn't have time to do today is to cut and glue the little spacers between the top rail and the bottom rail and also couldn't figure out why that was needed so i just glued and air nailed the two rails together without the spacers - hopefully that will work out tomorrow when I try to finish the upholstery on the rails..can you explain what s the purpose of the spacers?
@@creativesoftwareconceptsin124 spacers account for the foam under the playing surface. Optional depending on how your building your table.
Very nice table how many hours did it take you to complete?
Not many but I’ve done several tables before so I had some experience
What did this end up costing to build?... beautiful table best video on here
th-cam.com/video/l91ISfcuzDw/w-d-xo.html
@@DirkMade 😂🤣😂🤣 got em
i'd imagine this would cost around $300
@@A_-.328 uh... that's a bit low.
whered you get the wsop top
Hey how can I get this exact table? Can I buy this one from you?
I’m about to do a similar build. I’m dreading the upholstery part lol
I finished another table recently and was dreading the impending upholstery work the whole time.
I like how you put the 1/4 inch spacer pieces into the rail, that way the bottom of the rail lines up with the bottom of the play surface. I’m definitely gonna do that!
@@christopherb3802 good way to use up scrap pieces too
I’m about to do my padded rail. Got the foam stuck on and cut. Wish me luck lol
Got it done successfully! Came out nice too. I was sweating bullets and couldn’t feel my hands when I was done. 😂
What kind of foam did you put under the felt? And did you get it on amazon or did you go buy it at like Home Depot?
rhodes ohlerking under the felt is auto headliner foam that I got at a fabric store. In past tables I used closed cell volara foam but the stuff I was going to use on this table got creased and ruined. I needed something quick and I used the headliner which I could source locally. It is softer than the volara I normally use but after playing on this I think I prefer it.
DirkMade alright thank you
@@rhodesohlerking7462 No problem good luck on your build
DirkMade thanks
Do you think it would be feasible to build a smaller table that when needed expands to a larger one? Maybe 4-5 seats expanding to 10?
You could and use an insert like an extending dining table does, but that would mean the playing surface felt would have breaks in it, which would affect the way the cards slide. I wouldn’t do it. More bother than necessary. Build a regular size table and if you don’t have a full amount of players just extra room for everyone to spread out.
@@DirkMade room is my problem. I don’t have the room for a Full size and chairs to occupy full time. Temporarily is fine. But I agree with the issues you brought up. That’s why i asked because I can’t think of a Way around them either. Thanks.
@@mikecoughlin4128 I have both round and ovals. Round might fit better for your room?
@@DirkMade there are 11 people in our group so we usually average about 8 each month. In between, when I’m not the host, I’d like a small 4 person round table.
No speed cloth???
Anyway you have the measurements on these cutouts?
Watch the part where I make the circle jig. Measurements there that will tell you the size of the arc radii. From that you can figure all of the dimensions. Also, look online there are a lot of plans available. But it’s up to you really. Some people don’t cut the plywood down and use full 8’x4’ size. I prefer it smaller and cut the sheets down a bit both lengthwise and width proportionally. The table won’t fit 10 as comfortably but I generally don’t fill more than 8 per table so that’s ok with me.
Any chance on the link to that playing surface?
I bought the felt as an overrun from a company that prints felts for the casinos. I actually asked them a few days ago if they had any more or similar and did not get a response.
What did you use to put together that circle jig?
It was just a scrap piece of plywood I think
15:18, that's how I would feel after putting a thousand staples..
would you be interested in making another one and selling it? or selling this one haha , I want this exact table with the exact felt I can't find these felts anywhere that have the WSOP sponsors etc
Where did you buy the felt?
feeBay
Do you have a list of Materials ?
What matting did you use
What foam?
did you end up adding any holes for cup holder?
No I use slide under cupholders. You can see them at 21:00 in the video.
This is cool, I am 8 and I build things out of poker chips on my channel. I'm the Li'l Chip Architect!
Pour le rembourrage vous aviez pris quoi comme mousse ?
Sous la surface de jeu, j'ai utilisé de la mousse de toit de voiture. Pour l'accoudoir, j'ai utilisé de la mousse épaisse de 1 pouce d'épaisseur.
Where do you buy you rail foam
Either your auto trim dot com or foam by mail dot com
Could you pls share the measures?
where did you get the foldable table legs
Those are budget legs from Home Depot. You can find them at any store like that. There's also much more expensive versions of folding legs that would be much more sturdy than these. A lot of people use Gorilla Legs, but they're like 3 times the cost of the ones I used. Get what you pay for.
What kind of poker chips where those? Clay? Ceramic? Do they have a good casino feel to them?(The ones when you and all your buddy’s were playing with) btw Awesome poker table if you were to make one for me how much would you charge?
The chips at 21:08 are real clay chips, made by Classic Poker Chips. They're awesome. The ones a bit later during the game are "china clays" read: not real clay at all and cheaper. If I were to build one for someone else and charge it really would depend on the material choices and if I had to ship the table somewhere or it was being picked up. There's a lot of options building a table and they all would impact the material and labor cost.
DirkMade thats makes total sense well heres my number ill pay for shipping labor and everything, heres my number so we can chat more about it 617-331-7352 if your interested
@@thomascabello2230 hey man I'd delete the number from here. Send me a message through the contact form on my website. www.dirkmade.com/about
@@DirkMade If you don't mind sharing, do you know the name of the "china clays" your group was using during game play? P.S. Awesome build!
@@ChannelELR They are "Championship Poker Series" sometimes referred to as CPS for short. See this review for more details. Starts talking about the chips a little over 2 minutes in. th-cam.com/video/YN4D0EdaMIs/w-d-xo.html
Could I buy one poker table?
home depot must have had a sale on clamps
If you hear of a sale let me know I could use some more
can someone tell me what the point of the wood frame in time slot 10:02 is for??????
For stability. A lot of poker tables use a second sheet of plywood underneath so the table doesn’t bow/sag. This one instead uses that frame to make the table rigid but keep the weight much lighter than another sheet of plywood.
Great video but one problem you're not talking thru it like what sizes to cut
Прошу прощения, размеры 17-20-22? А сколько будет в сантиметрах?
Спасибо!✌️
