BillyJack Posted December 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 If I use storage all is fine and I need only build up for the playing surface. If I don’t build for storage I need to make the beauty ring, wrap the inside edges and drop down the playing surface which will be more of pit poker… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’m also considering pin lights around the playing surface. I’ve seen a lot of guys use Christmas lights. Something I’m considering.Maybe make the inne4 chip ring removable or make the inner ring removeable with wiring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Would they be shaded from view? Personally I find looking into lights annoying, but that's hust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone complain about the view. Normally they will have an area behind a CNC strip that houses the lights. The aluminum or wood strip blocks the hardware, but allows light penetration. I think it’s low light. In my case I’ll make a 1/2 x2.5 band along the inside and drill tapered holes on the inside using a drill press and wrap with a another 1/8 Masonite with 1/8-1/4 holes and cover in walnut. Followed by clear plastic..Or paint it black. That’s the beauty of creating something new. My challenge is being cheap.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 Finally back to the build. I cut the masonite. I'll use the upholstery gun to hold it in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Wire staples. I believe they are 22guage. it won’t shot thru 1/8 Masonite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I’ll need a minimum of 4 layers which will be 8 rips of 4 5/16. Normally I just kerf cut plywood for the radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Shops heating up. Hopefully I can get this banded today. Because the plywood is just slightly warped, so I’ll have to come up with a plan to keep it flat while I wrap it. Not sure I still have an old roller for wide glue ups. I’ll have to make something...

BillyJack Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I’m really going have to dig in the wood pile tomorrow. If I don’t find more cherry for the outside radius , it’s going to be walnut..I couldn’t find any cherry veneer the other day. Plenty walnut and maple.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted December 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 When I shipped the last one , I honestly don’t remember weight. I remember them charging for footage on the truck..We agreed to not ship the glass. it’s not actually that heavy, but because of its radius, it is bulky to move..
