I need to know where is the best place to get the felt, bumper vinyl, and cupholders? This is a similar design to what I am going to build...

I built one almost exactly like that (minus the cupholders) and got almost all of my stuff from jo-ann fabric and craft store. We got the armrest vinyl, the padding, and the NICE felt (and beneath-the-felt foam) from there. FYI, pulling the vinyl over the foam and rail is a 2 person job and is a PITA to get it right without creases or folds, but is definitely worth it

I actually have a very close friends that just re felted his table. Go to hancock fabrics. The felt is not hard to lay down, and you WONT need to people to do it, at least I didnt. Are you running a cash game or what? My buddy runs a cash game 5 nights a week, and he completly lives off of what the house makes...not to mention he is very well off now.

Give me a call, I can tell you where to get all the materials you need. Much better quality than jo-ann or hancock.

Didn't say you needed 2 people to lay the felt. I said 2 people to upholster the railing. THAT's the hardest part of all of it.

You don't need two people to do anything with it. I have built several of them and haven't needed any help.

Don't waste your time @ Hancock or JoAnn, they both suck and have cheap materials.

Been debating with a friend over the weight of the chips I need to buy. He said that official casino weight clay chips are 14grams. However ever where I look online says 8.5-11grams. What weight does everyone on here play with? Best deal you have found on chips?

It doesnt really matter as long as your chips are original...but the heavy chips I prefer.
