Coop Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 @BillyJack, how is the table coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BillyJack Posted April 23, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 It’s paused for now. I wanted a straight forward table, but making it a western table paused progress. Too many spring projects right now. When it’s too hot for exterior house projects, I’ll shut the door down and get back in the shop. I always have many projects going at once Right now I'm fence building. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted April 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 When you build outside the box, it becomes your personal design, rather than one of those. kinda like a patented design, you’ll change it just enough to make it yours, but not so much it doesn’t work. In my case, I don’t care and make it upside down if it pleases me. Kinda like the guy who jumped off the building. By the 3rd floor he yells, “ so far so good” Thats me , just hanging in there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted July 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I probably won’t get back on this project till late fall. I’m still debating on the “Good, Bad and the Ugly” theme. This table doesn’t really have a plan.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a poker table sounds like a fun project to tackle. I'm sure it'll turn out great, and you'll have a fantastic new table to play on. Plus, it's always satisfying to create something with your own hands. I would love to play at the poker table, but all the establishments in my town have closed due to the pandemic. So I started playing at Spin Casino at , as it's a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the kids. Happy building! Thanks for the information!

Mark J Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I have tried to drill a 3" hole with a Forstner on the DP and lathe, but either the bit slips in the chuck or the chuck slips in the quill. Typically I have to pre-drill a 1" hole, then 1 1/2", then 2", and 2 1/2". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Use a router, flush trim bit and a template to get the hole started, then use the hole itself as the template to get as deep as you need? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 I’d use a hole saw mounted into your dp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted August 2 Author Report Share Posted August 2 The vibration from cutting Rosettes is originally what knocked the chuck out. Now I can’t get it to stay… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
