Casino table base

Originally I built the corners as frames that I planned to wrap with thin panels or kerfed plywood.

The only large change in design that I didn't document was changing the corners. I took pictures (all available on website below) of nearly every single step in building this. There are four walls, the layout board, the base board and then the legs which can also be taken down into 4 parts. Since the table is so large I also wanted to make sure that it could be moved and stored so like many of the store bought tables I built this one in multiple sections that all fit together with pegs and a few screws to hold it together. Using the dimensions from the layout I estimated the rest of the dimensions for the table.

It started with the craps layout itself which is an 8' double layout that I purchased from. After spending nearly a month researching craps tables on-line I eventually made my own design for the table. The hardest part of this project was that so few people have done it before there wasn't a lot of references to go off of. This time for me it was the idea of making an 8' casino style craps table. Every once in a while an idea comes across your mind that is so crazy and out there you just have to do it.
