How to Build a Racetrack Poker Table
This section will teach you how to build a racetrack poker table. This particular poker table is found fairly commonly in home poker games and is not difficult to make. The cost is somewhat higher than that of the standard oval poker table as you will need a higher grade of wood for the racetrack and may also want to add drop in cup holders.

Tools and Materials to Build a Racetrack Poker Table
Cutting the Wood to Make the Table
This is where the fun begins. Its time to get out the power tools and go to work. This section outlines exactly how to measure and cut all of the wood for this project.
Cup Holders and Racetrack
Finishing your racetrack can make a huge difference in the outcome of your poker table. This section outlines how to finish the racetrack and determine the location of your cup holders before.
Upholstering your Playing Surface
Now that all of the cutting and staining is complete, its time to upholster your poker table. In this step we start with the playing surface as it is by far the easiest part and a great place to get your feet wet.
Padding and Upholstering the Railing
Upholstering the padded rail is somewhat more difficult that working with the playing surface as the inside of the ring can be tricky. In the section I will show you exactly how to upholster the padded rail on your racetrack poker table.
Assembling the Racetrack Poker Table
If you made it this far, you should have all of the individual parts to build a racetrack poker table complete. Now all you have to do is assemble them. This section will show you how to put everything together and secure it all.
