Build Your Own Craps Table

How To Build Your Own Craps Table Layout

Get intimate with the table, locking your hip against the rail and gently rubbing your fingertips on the felt while preparing your mind for what is to come. Relax, breath slowly and deeply. Watch the dice while they are in the middle of the table. Visualize the moves you will have to make to get the dice set once they come to you. Buying or Building Your Own Craps Table. Craps tables are big. If you want to play craps for real money on a table similar to what you’ll find in a casino, you need to make sure you have a space big enough to put it in. For some people, the garage or the basement is the only option. Buying your own craps table isn’t cheap, either. If you see a black marker on the table with the word 'off' on it then you'll know you are allowed to make your bet. You win even money if the come out roll (when the black marker is on the table) is a 7 or an 11 and you lose if it is a 2, 3 or 12.

Questions about a chip rail have been asked and this is our explanation.

After the new owners took over the DS.com site there was a conversion of the site to create the present day look. Also, we hired a technician to help us test each page and look for glitches, dead links, and antiquated email address. The person who supplied the information for the table plans had a personal email address that was no longer valid. The old email address has been deleted. There is no way to know who this person was and the part about the chip rail maybe should be eliminated. My guess is that the tech guy did not do this because his job was to fix things like broken links, remove dead links and he did not have authority to make copy changes.

The Dice Coach sells a throwing station with a chip rail. It is made from a single piece of wood 4.5 inches wide by ï¿½ inch. Looks like mahogany or some dark wood without knots. The grooves for the chips appear to be milled with a half moon bit. Perhaps a router table was used. Then the piece of wood was pushed through the router to mill the grooves, one side and then the other. With the station I have and describe here, the chip rail is not very functional and the rail needs to be milled deeper. I am suggesting wood for the rail perhaps 1 inch to 1.5 inches in thickness. This is my best guess and attempt for a suggestion. I do not know if the table plans you have are for curved corners. What I described would work okay for square corners.

Also, perhaps the bit was held in a drill press with a fence and the board pushed through twice.

These are my suggestion and limited to my knowledge of woodworking. Hope that it is of some help to you.

Best,

Padded Poker Table Rail

To build and upholster the padded rail of your poker table you will use pieces B and C, a sheet of 9'x4.5' 1' high density foam, a piece of 4.5'x9' vinyl, spray adhesive, 7/8' wood screws, and a whole bunch of staples. The first thing that you need to do when assembling your poker table rail is to put pieces B and C together. If you lay piece C on top of piece B you should find that it fits quite nicely. Now you need to fix them together by driving a 7/8' wood screw through them every few inches.(Figure 3-1)

Once the 2 pieces are firmly attached to each other you need to attach the foam. You're going to go about this the same way that you did in step 4 when you made the poker table top. Spray the adhesive on the foam and then lay the wood on top and let it dry.(Figure 3-2) Once it dries its time to cut off the extra foam.

1' Foam is available in the poker shop.

In this step however you aren't going to cut off everything that hangs over the edge. This time you need to leave 1.5' extra on the inside of the rail and 3' on the outside.(Figure 3-3) The reason for this is so that your poker table will have a railing that is padded on the inside and outside instead of just the top. The extra foam will get wrapped around the sides of the poker table rail to make a seemless padding on all sides. If you don't understand this step please refer to the cross section of the padded rail.(Figure 3-3b)

Now its time upholster the padded rail with vinyl. The first step to adding the vinyl is exactly the same as upholstering the poker table top. Simply stretch the vinyl tight and get it stapled on all sides.(Figure 3-4) If this is your first poker table you may want to hold off on trimming the extra vinyl until the inside is also completed. Once the outside is completed you should have something that resembles a large drum. You then want to cut the vinyl down the middle and in a star pattern on each end.(Figure 3-4)

Poker table rail vinyl is available in the shop.

Now that you have the vinyl cut, the sides are extremely easy to get out of the way so I do them first.(Figure 3-5) Make sure that you pull the vinyl as hard as you can when your putting the staples in. If you finish this step and your forearms aren't sore, your poker table rail probably could have been better. When you start on the ends of the table you will find that you will probably have to continue to make these cuts in order to get the vinyl to wrap around the inner curve of the padded rail. Just make sure that you don't cut too close to the rail or you may end up with a tear in the vinyl that's showing on the finished poker table. Thats not good upholstering.

When you finish stapling the inside of the rail you can pound all the staples in as you did before and cut off all of the extra vinly.(Figure 3-6) Before you cut the extra vinyl make sure that you don't have any large creases or wrinkles in the rail. To give you an idea of what the finished product shoud look like I have provided a cross section.(Figure 3-6b)
