I found these plans online a few months ago. I planned on building it myself in January, but my wife (and her father) built it for me for Christmas. It is very cool...about 8 feet long and plays really well.
Just thought I'd take a minute to brag about how good my poker room looks (and how cool my wife is).

The table plays really well. The velveteen makes for a very good sliding surface.
My wife said it actually wasn't that tough to make. Her and her dad followed the directions exactly, she said the most difficult part was putting the vinyl on the rail without getting too many wrinkles. The cuts in the plywood are huge, but not too complicated.
Can't wait for my next game...I'm 1 for 2 on the new table.

These things come in stages. I have 4 sets right now...but they are all the same crappy 11.5 gram type. Nice clay chips are pricey. I'll have to win a few more games before I get into those.

Hey Mookie, I'm very impressed by your poker table. Any idea how much your wife/father-in-law paid for materials?
I'm guessing it must come in around $150 depending if you already have the hole saw and all necessary tools.
It worked out to be about $250 Canadian ($220 or so for you American folks). The plywood and the cup-holders were the biggest expenses. They sprung for a sheet of maple plywood for the race-track which ran the price up a bit. You could certainly reduce the cost of the cup-holders by cutting it down to 8 and not getting the "jumbo" size ($4.99 each).
The velveteen and the vinyl were fairly cheep (about $20 each) and the legs were taken off an old discarded table from a community center.
...actually, the foam was a bit expensive too. They didn't have 1/4 inch thick at Walmart or any of those cheap places so they had to get it from a "foam warehouse". These specialty places jack up the prices when they sell to the walk-in public.
