That's nice! (my eyes keep starring at those 25k chips though) :) By the time I host a meetup, I plan to have a custom felt on my main 55" round and my second oval table. (that still needs to be built)

Custom felt? Already had thoughts on what it will be?

I've always drooled over this set-up. Great stuff.

Either a PCF or Broken Bell theme.
I've got the cloth. Do not have the table yet.
This is for anyone who will answer.
How much did it cost to get your felt designed and printed/shipped etc.

Thanks, I have seen this thread before but still no idea how much it would cost to have someone do the artwork as well.
I was meaning total cost.

It depends on who you hire to do the design work. Quotes I received for mine ranged from $0 - $100.

Oh don't worry, this one is not mine. I'm building for a friend.
I have to admit that I love Dragonball. Photo quality is terrible sorry, broke my new phone and still taking cell phone pics with a 4 year old phone.

I've got some mates who would go nuts over this table.
wow
This is for anyone who will answer.
How much did it cost to get your felt designed and printed/shipped etc.
I had the same design done for 3 tables through Rye Park. The average cost came to $300 per table. Pricey but well worth the investment. The cloth is flexible and easy to work with and is soft to the touch making a long session more comfortable on your hands.
I'll post a pic later.
Here's the artwork file to make it a lot clearer. I found the Goku and Vegeta images online, combined them on the felt then added a dragon image I had on file. I wish I could have used Shenron but I couldn't find a good image to use. I thought the betting line would be funky to have it fade between the two colors.
just wondering how much do all these custom felts cost?
Haven't actually gotten the table built but I'm planning to this coming month. I've got all the supplies but the rail material and playing surface padding. I've got twin oak pedestal legs for this table as it will be a permanent fixture in my man cave :). Thanks again to @p5woody (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/129/) for the great work on designing this!
It's 84x44 inches with a 5 inch rail.

Check out this link: http://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-cloths.3661/ (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-cloths.3661/)
I pulled this pricing from the link above (FYI - I think pricing might have gone up $25 since this information was posted)
Up to 96" long:
$225 shipped for a custom cloth. You pay USD or CDN based on your location since it costs a little more to ship to US. First 2 hours of design time are free. $75/hour after that.
$185 shipped if you have your own artwork which you send to me so that it can go straight to print.
$155 shipped if you have your own artwork as well as you're an established poker table builder (built more than 5 tables).
As stated earlier in this thread the Artwork can range anywhere from 0 to 100+

Group buy to save on shipping ;)
I'd love to get a chanman felt. But with the current exchange rate and shipping costs it's a killer.

This would also look cool to have bullets as the betting line. Similar to @Trihonda (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/136/) felt.
I am a vendor here guys, if anyone is looking for a custom cloth I print them for $225 or less shipped.

My table is like an air hockey table, cards glide effortlessly. I get so many positive comments from people who play at my game, people are in awe! Proud owner for sure! I wouldn't hesitate to order another Chan cloth.

Get @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) to make your table for you :-)
Probably a tape measure. ;) I'd prefer using a yard stick since it will lay flat
A little long, and a bit old, but it gives you the general idea.
Measure, measure and measure again
Chanman has a Youtube video that should help.

@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) ... What a pro! It doesnt look like you had to adjust the cloth more than an 1/8th inch after just rolling that thing out!!!

That felt/fabric is awesome
Just received pics from @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) with my new table. Can't wait to receive it and put it in play.
I wanted to showcase the MD flag, and after several iterations, we came to this final design. This has my MD flag and represents Ellicott City. About a year and half ago, historic Ellicott City's main street flooded, doing excessive amounts of damage to the town. Some businesses have since reopened, but many are still beyond repair.
Thank you again Tony !!

It shipped Monday with scheduled arrival for Tuesday in Houston. I was shocked when I heard that. However, there wasn't room room on the plane when it got to Cincinnati and it got put on hold, but it still made it here one day later. I was expecting it to take about a week. One problem though. I couldn't get it open. I guess its fastened with metric allen wrenches, because my english ones don't work. Off to home depot tomorrow.
2 days from Vancouver to Texas, I think they teleport it over! DHL is my new best friend.
Do the Chanman felts come Scotch Guarded? If not, should I put some on, or does that interfere with the air hockey effect?
I have never used anything on his gaming suede, water beads up on it, cards glide extremely well.

That'll look especially bad ass given the sheen of Tony's gaming suede, I'd venture to say it'll make the northern lights look even better than the graphic.

Is there a significance to the pattern in the middle section or is it just a random pattern picked?

Nice. Very similar to a design I am (slowly) working on.
Made these in 2010 and only just dug the files back up to contribute to this thread. Two of my fave design projects of all time. Ordered both the printed felts from Rye Park. They have held up great over the years.
I don't have a picture of this one in play, this one is in storage for a little while... Viewing this one on screen doesn't really do it justice. The King in the dark green ends up being quite abstract and a nice detail once you "see" it.
Next up is @franimal (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/3528/) and his K5 Table in Knicks colours. If you look closely you can see the K5 logo in the pattern. Usually a detail that people miss at first then notice a little while into the game.

It's nice to see lots of Tony's felts here, those he designed and those designed by others. Custom printed gaming suede is definitely the way to go. I've had Tony do two tables for me and the felt is holding up spectacularly!
@p5woody (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/129/) did the cloth design and pulled the shield from it. Not sure when I'll get the chips but the table soon. May get Gears to print some and inlay on Majestics for now.

Looks like this is on a tulip table base. Strong/sturdy enough?
Yes, it’s a tulip table base. It has the same drawbacks of any pedestal table, but it was designed to serve as a dining table, sturdy enough to handle lots of weight around the perimeter, including elbows. So we’ll see. Games held in my house tend to be more sedate affairs. Or at least they’ll have to be.
Does anyone have a poker felt design template for Photoshop or ai that they can send me? I'm starting work on a new table and would like to take a shot at the graphics myself initially. Anything available would be greatly appreciated...

Hey man...Is that just red paint or a red veneer used on the raised rail? I am thinking of doing the same thing to match the betting line. If a veneer, care to share where (nice little rhyme there esp. with a Boston accent)? TIA

I love those music notes where suits are usually printed.
It's a custom felt printed for a particular customer but it's also available for purchase.
Is there any possibility you have a gallery of predesigns? Especially for a round?
I don't have any templates available, pretty much each felt is made from scratch but sometimes people find a cloth I've done before and ask for minor changes. You can view my builds on my gallery page, chanmanpokertables.com/gallery
You can also take most oval designs and change them to round.
Any HOTPINK felt :rolleyes:.
None yet, but you could always be the first ;)
Any HOTPINK felt :rolleyes:.
I have a concept that I'll be submitting to T_Chan on Friday that will have a hotpink element in it, albeit it's a small element in a larger design. I'm really excited to get going on it, been waiting for my annual bonus (or winning the $4000 table, haha) that is getting paid out almost a month and a half later this year than usual.
@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) after the design is approved about how long does it take to get the suede, shipping would be to SLC, UT? And about how long does it usually take for in-house design work? I understand several variables could affect it, I'm just hoping to start hosting by May and wonder if that's realistic if I order suede this Friday?

I completely agree. Instead of the flag in the center, it should be faded image of Brady hunched over and crying after letting a perfect 19-0 season slip away from him.

Oh WOW!!! That it an AMAZING Poker room! Great job!
Well, my original concept wasn't working but I'm very excited for the cloth I'll be getting. I hosted a game mostly made up of members of a Utah Jazz related fan forum (www.jazzfanz.com (http://www.jazzfanz.com/)) for several years and many of them are still part of my core poker group. When I get the cloth I'll be hosting a low buy-in game exclusively for forum members.
A little long, and a bit old, but it gives you the general idea.
@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/)
Your playing surface foam doesn't go all the way to the edge. Is that so the rail sits better and there's less chance for a gap that cards could go under? Is it important as far as the cloth being securely stapled goes?
Yes, that's why I cut the foam short.
No, it's not really important with regards to stapling the felt down, however if the foam does go all the way to the edge of the plywood, then I would suggest that you staple the felt to the edge of the plywood or even wrap it around and staple underneath.

That neon green and black is so sick, you may have inspired a new color scheme for a future cloth for me!
Once upon a time, I was contemplating this black with neon green as a colour scheme for a walk-in shower.

Many thanks and official congrats to His All Craftiness @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) for the superb felt:
The table itself, one with folding legs, had the felt and foam appllied by a caprenter friend of mine, who also collared it with an oversized rail to extend its diameter from 120 to 128cm (47.5 to 50.5 in) and make it capable of accommodating 7 players. Really nice work, especially if you take into account that this was the first poker table that he saw, let alone built, in his life.:)
Saint John Coltrane (pictured here as a Greek Orthodox saint, in a Byzantine-type icon) overseeing the games:D
Notice the flames of his soul coming out of the sax.
Another nice element in the room
And a picture I took and printed many years ago, of the Greek chapel of St Nicholas, just under one of the WTC towers
That 'Trane painting is flat out amazing! Where did you find that? I love it! (Table looks good too BTW :) )
Scanned it from a magazine and magnified it, then had it printed.
The magazine, if I remember well, claimed that the icon was the inspiration of some Coltrane fans from California, who hired an icon-maker to paint it. If I judge from the mis-spelled name Ioanis (correct is Ioannis with double -nn-) apparently the icon-maker wasn't Greek, but still interested enough in medieval Greek culture to become an icon-maker:)
Nice work creating the Table of Sauron...

Thanks. I didn't see the orange glow until I looked at the photo. In person its not that drastic. I might re-take it to get the whole table in the pic.
Sweet! Thanks!
BTW, if you are doing an oval table, you need 6 to 7 meters long, I buy two 5 meter rolls from the same place and cut one down.
If you are doing a round table 5 meters works (5M is standard.

Table #3 might look familiar too, since Mike (@slisk250 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/684/) ) VERY generously let me use his table design — with a couple obvious modifications. Photos kinda suck. Tough time of day lighting-wise, to get photos in my living room. But the colors on all 3 of the tables are really great in person.
Congratulations Mel. The tables look AWESOME! Very nice!
I want to send a HUGE thank you to both @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) for building these amazing quality tables, and the felt printing is top notch! Personal delivery was a delightful bonus. Another HUGE thank you to @Johnny5 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/350/) for his amazing artwork, with bonus points for being patient with all of my flip-flopping during the design development. Finally, special thanks to @slisk250 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/684/), for letting me modify his table artwork for a Mel's table, to go with the Mel's chips he also let me copy. I loved Mike's design, and he was very generous to share it with me. THANK YOU!

Does anyone have a template to use to design a custom felt?
@SendThatStack (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/4710/) What program are you using?
Paint 3d.
This site has killed me and my spending spree continues! Decided it was time for a new poker table. Got in touch with a custom table builder here in Melbourne, Australia and have ordered a table.
2700mm long by 1200mm wide. Can't recall rail height but it's the thicker of the two options, in a carbon fibre style weave. No cup holders, no dealer spot or dealer tray, just straight table.
Felt will be printed in the next week and table should be done by the end of November.
Current table has speed felt and I love the pattern, so I started with a similar one for this felt (like lots of the ones on here). I chose colours from their Pantone samples printed on the actual felt so the colours are much more similar (very, subtle) compared to the image file below.
Rail is 150mm wide and I added a betting line 200mm from the edge of the rail. Giving players a little more room for chips and cards.
Can't wait!
Felt printed. Not as subtle as I thought it would be but still awesome :)

It's not a Chanman cloth. Not sure of the name but the table builder has used it for ages and swears by it.
Can’t wait to see this my new Felt from Tony Chanman

Tony made a table for Michael Bay?
I know this isn’t the same as many people’s taste, and may be more of a 50-year-old’s perspective, but:
If I ever commission a custom felt, I will want it to be very subdued to reduce visual noise. Dark green on dark green, or dark gray on dark gray, or dark blue on dark blue, etc.
I don’t want players’ eyes “competing” with elaborate, jazzy, high-contrast patterns or letters or images; just want everyone to see the cards and chips clearly.
I’m a little late, but is this from Pharaoh in Los Angeles?

This is my 2nd custom Poker cloth for my 7 foot table. The cloth itself is 72"x 36" and fits in the center portion of the table only. The racetrack hides the cloth attachment (staples)
I've wanted this design since I saw the Sportsnet Poker tournament which includes NHL plasyers and Poker pros such as Vannessa Rousso, Daniel Negreanu to mention a few.
Here are pics of my table with under rail lights. Notice the background of the 2nd pic of the table with the rail light off.
It's a built in wall bar fridge.
The table also has under table pull out trays that holds bowls for snacks. This keeps all the snack food bowls off the table.
I built this table with 8 cup holders in the racetrack.
Wow
My table is done!!!!!
@bsdunbar1 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/922/) is the builder and did an awsome job! Updated me with pics all the way from beginning to end.

I really love being able to put awesome chips on the table for my games. And I have some chips that I really love.
But I have to say, none of my chips bring me as much joy when I host games, as being able to play on a custom Chanman @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) table.

I have to admit that I love Dragonball. Photo quality is terrible sorry, broke my new phone and still taking cell phone pics with a 4 year old phone.

That felt is ridiculous! Almost looks like they are backlit! Love it!
Good gosh. After seeing the tables here I've got to upgrade my house.
Re-felted my table with a new custom Chanman cloth. Tony's cloths (and customer service) are outstanding, my crew was very impressed with the look, feel and slide of the new cloth. Highly recommended! Thanks @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/)

To me it seems to be speedcloth at the racetrack, is the middle section speedcloth too?

Depends on the size of your table and width of the rail.

It's a custom printed gaming suede, so we printed the pattern of SSC onto the gaming suede so that it's all 1 piece of fabric. No seams.

Going to visit the great Chanman himself for the final revisions to my custom table as well
Just came across this thread coincidentally! Now I'm super excited. Tony is amazing. He has been super patient with me. I'm borderline crazy with how much I change my mind
Tomorrow, we finalize and I sign the authorization form!
Lucky to be alive!!!

Hahahahaha I’m same way, and yes tony is the best @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) for the WIN!!!!! Can’t wait to see what you got cooking
I tried to post up the artwork Tony created for me. Its a PDF and won't upload.
My table is not like what you've got @sheikh617 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/5570/) . So amazing! You've gone alot more custom than me. Wow...that rail...gosh! Is that real snakeskin? Your tastes are quite refined!
My tastes are perhaps a bit simple and boring I'd say given what you have got there. Stunning! I have what I'd say a "smooth" and "sleek" design. I opted for no racetrack. However, there is a "racetrack" effect incorporated into the layout along with a few other elements I wanted. @davin (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/3463/) ...your table picture on Tony's website also served as some inspiration. Thanks:tup:
Can't wait to post the pr0n one fine day!
I'm super stoked. Tony is unreal. It's hard to describe, but he can take brain imagery from you and magically, it appears on screen. He makes it look easy, but it's actual real talent he has. A passion. I'm over the moon!

Its a fuax skin. Nice quality vinyl made to mimic boa. I honestly regret the racetrack. Its the only part of the table I'm actually "unhappy" with but I had gone with these options prior to becoming a forum member and learning about the downsides of a racetrack. I love the way it looks but you have the upkeep of having to keep it clean and polished. Also harder to play on since you can't really keep the hole cards on the wood. I'm looking into eventually maybe trying to convert it to a full felt table. Definitely a very long term project though.

Trust me, you can't be more difficult to work with than me. Through their interactions with me working on my poker table, I have irrefutable proof that both @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) and @Johnny5 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/350/) are freaking saints. No matter the request or the change, they're both ever ready to provide constructive advice.
Have you guys noticed that sublimation dye felts are slower than say, speedcloth?
BTW, my poker table uses pool table felt. That's pretty smooth sailing on the deal.

Not sure if you asking as a "I noticed that they are slower" or if you are just wondering IF they are...
I love my @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) Felts. These (His) are AWESOME. My first few tables were felt, and sped Cloth, then I purchased a custom cloth from Tony and have never looked back, when I build tables I recommend them ordering a custom cloth..
One of the table I sold with speed cloth on it is in the possession of a friend and He wants to upgrade his table to a T_Chan cloth, I hope He does this year..
Have you guys noticed that sublimation dye felts are slower than say, speedcloth?
Just an FYI, there are many different types of felts that can be sub dyed, including white suited speed cloth. The sub dye process doesn't make them any slower. Our gaming suede is specifically chosen since it provides really good card slide. We've even used another product recently which we test where cards slide like an air hockey table, but in the end we didn't use it as the texture was too "plastic" feeling.

I was afraid of losing the glide of speed cloth if I went custom but that's great to hear!

I love everything about this cloth. The colours, the old school logo. Perfect.
My table is done!!!!!
@bsdunbar1 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/922/) is the builder and did an awsome job! Updated me with pics all the way from beginning to end. If anyone is in the omaha area I would highly reccomend sending him a message if you are in the market for a new poker table. I have not played on this one yet, but I have played on his own custom tables, and they are easily the nicest tables I have played on.
@p5woody (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/129/) helped out bigtime with the design of the cloth.
@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) printed the cloth and it looks awsome.
@navels (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/2885/) and @MegaTon44 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/1503/) helped with input and comments throughout
I Have not seen the table in person yet, because I am out shipping, but cant wait to get home and play some poker on it.
The cloth is an old medieval nautical map that I thought would make a cool poker table felt.
Thanks again to everyone involved.

Took the Bardstown Bourbon Co tour a few weeks back. Unique situation as they distill for other companies and they have like 40+ mash bills
Had another trip planned for the spring...up in the air now.

Maker's only do their brand at this time I know there is talk of adding another still house but not sure when. Also they try to source most of their raw materials locally. One year they raised some of the winter wheat for a sample run on my farm.

Not many poker games going on at this time, or shouldn't be if they are. Most states and provinnces have a max limit of how many can be in any grouping at one time. Hard to play Poker with the 6 ft distance rule.

Anyone know where i can get a reasonable speed cloth with a betting line?
Anyone know where i can get a reasonable speed cloth with a betting line?
Genuine Speed clothes do NOT come with betting lines.
The best source, by the way, is Your Auto Trim (YAT) in Mississippi. (True ones, not Chinese crap).
To have a betting line on a speed cloth, you have to either:
-Draw it yourself (if you or a friend are really crafty), with a good paint marker, using some dish or fry-pan as driver, for the curves (the curves are the hard part- you just need a ruler for the straights).
-Have a different speed cloth for the players' "racetrack" area, and another type of speed cloth for the main betting area.
-Have Tony Chan (a most respectable vendor here) print whatever you want on an otherwise white speed cloth.

Chanman Poker Tables ask Tony @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/)
I think this build is ok, but if i'm being anal, it would be great to have that betting line
At this stage, a crafty friend with a gold paint marker and one of your dishes / plates is your only friend.

3 heads are better than one. Good collaborative effort.
BTW, I know that @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) has a video showing different coefficients of friction on his felt, but I can vouch for the custom felt. The slide, especially with desjgn cards, is so perfect. With a good flick, I can nail a 72" slide with no problem.
So after many years of inactivity im gonna get the dust flying on a new table. Its gonna be a 7 foot folding topper with platinum suited speed cloth and black leather rail. Looking forward to getting the build going.
I just got my first custom table with custom felt delivered:) iam very happy with the result.

Yes i will have to try that, but i knew from the beginning of the planning that the felt would be the star on this table. But i just couldnt convince myself for a more basic design after my friend sent me the design proposal.. :)

It's been somewhat proven how difficult it is to win a championship while paying any one position a huge contract (almost always the QB), and I'm a Raiders fan so don't like the Chiefs, but.... pay dat man his money!

Great work from some members here.
Does anyone know why there's literally ZERO plans online now (other than BYOT pretty much) for custom made poker tables, with, lets say - raised raised or even a kidney bean shape? Actual written blueprint instructions and measurements? Did the poker table makers in various countries get together and pay to take sites down? Baffled by the sheer lack thereof....was looking to remake my table top in a premium 'slight' kidney bean curve (10 seater). before you asked, yes I did a thread search and found a couple of posts with some images; Nothing instruction wise, unless the image itself is supposed to be the instruction?

I think it kinda died. Some say it's coming back but not like it once was. I'm on numerous woodworking sites and rarely do poker tables come up. Several on the craigslist...
Ordered my felt from @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) Should be shipping soon.

Custom felt order is in.... original shitty design by me... perfected awesome design by @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/)
Hi, trying to save money in 2020 by grabbing fabric on my own and sending to a printer.
Anyone who can give good advice on the specific type of felt / fabric to grab?
I don't know a lot about fabric, but when I took a swatch of felt (from a fabric store) to a screenprinter, I was told it was the "wrong type" of felt; I believe too porous.
Anyone know the "correct" specific type of felt (or fabric) to use?
Thanks!
Dave

Yep, dealer insert is attached using Velcro!
Great work from some members here.
Does anyone know why there's literally ZERO plans online now (other than BYOT pretty much) for custom made poker tables, with, lets say - raised raised or even a kidney bean shape? Actual written blueprint instructions and measurements? Did the poker table makers in various countries get together and pay to take sites down? Baffled by the sheer lack thereof....was looking to remake my table top in a premium 'slight' kidney bean curve (10 seater). before you asked, yes I did a thread search and found a couple of posts with some images; Nothing instruction wise, unless the image itself is supposed to be the instruction?

Looks great! So, I'm guessing by the shape that its a topper for an existing table in the room?

Yep, custom made to fit on top of a table.
All poker tables are generic fabrications.
A plan altered 50 ways makes it custom.
A generic plan to start...
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I am looking for someone to help design a custom playing surface for my next table.

Very nice indeed, whats the story behind the eight duece???
Anyone?
Several build threads in the table forum, you'll just have to do a search. @Trihonda (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/136/) did a nice one several years ago
Very nice indeed, whats the story behind the eight duece???
Kind of a long story, but it has turned into my "Doyle Brunson" hand, and it's become a legend in my league over the last 15 years.
In summary, early in our league I had a streak where I kept getting that hand in the big blind, no one would preflop raise, and I would flop the nuts or flop would check around and I'd make the straight or flush, and I'd turn it over and say "8-2, baby!" to multiple groans and threats of table flips. That has since evolved into everyone trying to play that hand and beat me with it, with very few successes (because that hand SUCKS!).
So, just a league insider joke, but a fun one. BTW - Don't play 8-2! :LOL: :laugh:
Haha great story mate, we play the 7-2 game in or local game i might have to introduce 8-2 aswell haha
So, just a league insider joke, but a fun one. BTW - Don't play 8-2! :LOL: :laugh:
Love it! Used always play 10-4 for my birthday, it was a House rule.

ya, I was thinking the SAME thing. I have some friends who want to build their own, are in a rush, and can’t wait u til I’m free to assist. I was trying to give them some advice, but wanted a complete set of table instructions, like hose I found back when I started to build tables.. now there is nothing.. no YouTube videos, no website instructions, etc.. at
least nothing that I’d recommend. Most of the table build instructions or videos I found seems to from people doing their first table, or doing a hexagonal or racetrack table, lol. Anytime I see instructions list using a jig saw (instead of a router), it’s an immediate “novice” tell.. a router has so much better results, and makes the Latter parts of the job way easier..
you can see my latest table build thread in the fat tire blog link in my signature.

Wouldn't be surprised if some poker table merchants in various countries did the rounds and paid people to take down their designs/sites...Pretty sad. As my first build was based around a Sweedish (or Swiss?) design of a raised rail, custom lit 10 seater table...Iike it, but wanted a different shape in this time.
I'd pay a little to get designs off someone for a private build for myself... So hopefully someone sees this post and can help.
RoOSTA
I think that the main reason is due to the fact that poker table building forums all shut down. Scott Keen forum went the way of the blue wall, Perfect Man Cave activity died down drastically, Poker Table Forum got retired and is now merged with the PCF Poker table section.
Any good build threads went along with them. Photobucket changing their image policies to paid also played a part as well I think.
I used to post many build threads, but they all went away with the aforementioned forums. Then I went full time with poker table building so it's not in my best interest to share build plans anymore.
There's not a lot of builders anymore like there used to be in the early 2000's during the poker boom. There's still a few kicking around but you really have to do a lot of hunting to find them. There's still some good ones on PCF if you go through enough pages and threads. BYOPT has plans online, but most include the use of a jigsaw which is a bit of a red flag...
Back to poker table felts though!

I'd be OK with having trouble finding my chips on that table. The conversations among players surrounding childhood memories of those cartoon shows would make up for it. I remember back in the day, a lot of my friends couldn't wait to get home from school to watch ThunderCats.

If you buy a cloth from me then it includes 2 hours of design time to produce artwork.

That’s a neat look. I’m assume the “light source” is printed onto the fabric? If that makes sense. Or maybe the gradient from light to dark is printed in. If that’s a better way to state it. Either way cool unique look.

At last, a felt made for playing, where you can spot chips on (other than red chips that is, but I guess you 've factored that in). :)

I know, I know. I've received a bunch of mockups from J5, and I'm somehow just not loving the red felts compared to blue or blue-greenish options. An entire table of Red is almost a bit too overpowering somehow. My thought now is to go with a more subtle felt design and let the chips in play shine.

Black with red betting like could work as well. However red is the colour for you my friend.

I say definitely go for a more subtle table felt design in general and in a non-competing color so you don't have any issues with seeing the chips. It's funny actually, to me, the best felt designs are the most "boring" (simple design or a monochrome color palette). The colors are for the chips!
Black with red betting line
or charcoal, or ash grey, with red betting line.

Agreed. A little bit of red can go a long way. If I ever get around to doing a custom felt, I'll probably go with a boring tan or beige and let my logo and chips be the stand-out colors.

:D Is Tony Chan brilliant or what!? I sent Tony a design I created in Illustrator about ten days ago. He's been very responsive, helpful, transparent, and brought fresh, new angles to my custom felt. My racetrack pattern was your everyday suited pattern but he suggested 3D polygonol suits instead. The left part of the betting line and wolf face was plagued in boring silver but I asked that we give it some flare so he suggested a metal effect instead. I absolutely love the final design! Soon it will be in my hands, laid across my table with cards gliding effortlessly from one end to the other!:wow: Also, I'll be starting my table build thread very soon so keep an eye out!

It's 1.6 inch or 4cm.

What kind of cup holders are those?
They look like the doubles...jumbos with a hole drilled in them and a can sized holder for the bottom. Makes for a deep cupholder that can hold a beer bottle, wine glass, or big cup equally well.
What kind of cup holders are those?
They are a “marine” application.
they are awesome, I use them in all my raised rail tables because with the raised rail they don’t stick out the bottom of the table.

Personally, I'd either make the betting circle larger, or the suits logo smaller, or both. I don't care for the overlay look of having the logo larger than the betting line border. But that's me -- I think it looks cluttered and disjointed as-is.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few tables on here with the PCF topper instead of a gaming suede.
No reason why this shouldn't work. :tup:
Hi guys, i have used my PCF Topper for the first time on this weekend. I just loved the feel of the material. Has anyone made a felt for their table out of the same material? Is this possible? With a custom design? I really like it a lot better than the felt i have on my table. Now iam wondering whether i can replace it with a custom printed felt made out the same material as the pcf topper..
Euro-PCF's favorite table topper provider https://www.montapisdejeux.com (https://www.montapisdejeux.com/) (read more at https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-neoprene-topper.54890/) makes custom tables with the same cloth material as their table toppers.
I'm not 100% sure if they use the same material as the PCF topper, but either way it should be perfectly doable.

Hey! Im looking for some help designing a custom poker mat.. have a clear idea of what I want and a sketch but need help to refine it. PM me if interested
Working on a design. This is where I am at right now. Any input?
PS: Any designers that has some cool pattern swatches, or links some neat free ones I can get?

Remove the 5 outlines for cards. 100% not needed.
The artwork looks good. I agree with Craig, the rectangles for the community cards aren't necessary.
The gradient in the background looks nice, though keep in mind that it will disappear a little where the gradient gets darker and the background color starts to get really close to the pattern color.
Alright, slight alteration to patterns and toned down the darker parts of the gradient. Also removed the rectangles for the community cards. Cleaner?

I like the bottom one. Vertical lines can be distracting when trying to focus on the face up cards.
I also think leaving some blank space between the tour name and the Live at Hpt text would look nice. Basically remove the 5 card outlines, but leave the blank space.
Let’s gooooo!!! Thank you @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) !! It came out great :)
My design has taken a completely new turn. Took the time to rebrand, create a logo and a theme. Thoughts?

I like the dark one.
I would be worried about the light yellow showing too much dirt over time
I didnt like the material of my felt, so i went with a chanman replacement.
From this (it was called the hofman felt/table)
To this (miami vice colors with mount pilatus)
(the table was delivered with the Hofman felt, first time changing cloths, and it shows, not that symmetric). Next time i think i will get some help or just buy a new table...)

I made my own design using the trial version of Adobe Illustrator, which was relatively easy to navigate. I tried the design in PDF, but the resolution wasn't good enough to get a nice crisp image for the sublimation felt.
The file from AI that I sent was EPS, and it was accepted. The maker did some tweaks as per my suggestion, and a week later they sent me a picture of the finished design for final approval.
This is the finished product. It may be a bit dirty as it has been used for 3 years, It does clean up well.

I did have it, but my computer hard drive crashed and I lost many of my folders including the EPS files that I had for the pattern. I'll check my backup Cd's to see if I can find them. I found the EPS file for the design but it is too large to upload on this post. You will need Adobe Illustrator to be able to increase the size of the felt, change design etc.
@k9dr (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/327/) has a rink felt too. I noticed he added skate marks instead of clean ice. Images are out their on the web, I used one when I made a hockey banner for a youth hockey team. It's a nice subtle touch.

I wish that I could have found the skate mark background but at the time, I couldn't find one that was suitable.

I should have gone with some curved skate marks, but I am still happy with the result.

That looks great. Where did you get the skate mark background, Was it a vector image.

I think k9 used the same one that I used, and it was a huge vector image.
I toned my down a little, so it was more subtle. And it should go over the images, lines, logos, etc. as they are painted on the floor below the ice (but I understand wanting that center ice image to shine).
Would you happen to have a template so I can design my own?
@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) has done many custom print hockey rink felts. If you were to get the cloth printed from him anyway, perhaps he can help with his design template.
Hi everyone, Ray here from Chanman Poker Tables. I'm helping with the designs.

Coincidentally, I've recently experimented with a more subtle skate-mark design with some curved lines (on a side project):

Hi I am a newbie on here but love this site! Have a table that I want to upgrade and need some help please. I need to make it a little longer and wider to accommodate my new chairs. I was thinking to just redo the rail thicker and wider which should give me more room. I saw a photo I liked the style and color of and just now need some help.
I want to also raise the rail with led lights but have a custom panel like you have . Where did you get that?
Any other ideas would be appreciated and more than willing to pay for someone to do it! I am in Albuquerque NM
I am wanting my table railing to look similar to the last photo. But also now after seeing these custom felts may redo felt too!!
We have custom felts for sale. Reach out to @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) if you have any q's, more info here too: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/custom-cloths.3661/
We also make the brushed aluminum LED covers that you often see on the site. Not the same as heiterbiswolkig's, but similar.
I'll join in on the ice rink fun.

I recently watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdn85XDX3g&ab_channel=HustlerCasinoLive) and I really liked the font and the outer glow effect created on the bet line and the inner glow effect from the outter edge of the table, although I'm guessing the effect is amplified with the rail led. Would anyone have a .ai file with something similar? I think ill get this made from Tchan
Has anyone ever repaired one of T_Chan's custom felts? I had an unfortunate mishap and my nearly brand new felt now has two small tears near the middle of the table. I am worried the tears will get worse as people slid pots over that area. Any help on best repairs methods would be appreciated. Thanks!
Forgive my ignorance, but where are people getting the custom felt? Looks like some people on the forum might do it, but can you order anything online?

Perhaps cheating bc not technically felts, but here are some custom topper designs that would easily work on felt as well. Happy to negotiate a deal with anyone who might want a design for felt instead of a topper.

Hi - pretty new here. What is the legality of printing/using poker felts of casino games for home use? Like Ultimate Texas Hold’em or Three Card Poker? Love all the art here and will probably look into something custom for a base table, but we do enjoy some of these casino variants as well.

Legally, I'm pretty sure you can print whatever game you want on a felt as long as you're not infringing on someone's copyright (like adding for example the Bellagio casino logo).
The playing surfaces for those games aren't copyrighted for home use as far as I know.
Running an underground game, taking rake from your visitors to play your games is something else of course.
Better check your local gambling laws.

Hello all,
I'm thinking about having a logo placed on suited speed cloth. What type of printer is needed for best results? I have read something about sublimation.
I have not built a table in years, but I'm getting the itch to get back to it and playing regular poker games again....
Suited Speed clothes of already some color cannot be printed; they can only have drawings on them with an oil marker (sharpie in the US, if I 'm not mistaken)
Another solution is to order a white Suited Speed cloth from @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) which can indeed be printed to any color and logo of your liking, if I 'm not mistaken

I can also have any custom design printed on a table topper that will fit precisely inside the rails of your table if you want the flexibility of being able to change designs over time. Take a look at the links in my signature to learn more if you’re interested
Thank you guys for the fast replies. I have not built a table or had a custom felt made in probably 10 years. Excited to get back at it
How can I get a custom felt that could have Copyright issues? PM if you have any ideas. It would be in my basement forever.

HO LEE SHEET! This print job is amazing!!!
IMHO in general felts should not be too busy with their graphics. Depending on the chips used, this can make things look a little berserk.
I much prefer solids, or subtle patterns. Preferably a color that isn’t going to overlap with chip hues and weights.

Agree 100%
I have found in a lot of cases, tables don't get used allot are used just as much for eye candy.
Oh my! That is quite amazing. Nice to know you can get that level of detail, even if it's more than most might want.
Sick!
I don't have the table it will go on, but just received the cloth.
HO LEE SHEET! This print job is amazing!!!

Great design for sure, but WAY TOO busy for a poker table felt.

Very well done. But I'll agree with the others that it is very "busy." I could see this being draped over a sarcophagus. I'd prefer to have line art of the ankh and the scarab beetles, although they do look great. On the other hand, I'd almost rather have it as a print I could frame and display on a wall. But this isn't my table and to each their own with table design. Maybe we could see it with some cards and chips on it at some point. Thanks for posting it.
Another pet peeve of mine is felts which have the seat locations delineated. This works fine if you have every seat filled. But when playing with a different number of players than the felt is meant for, and people spread out, the lines/marks don’t match up and it starts to look jumbled.
Not a huge thing, but this seems especially common with cheaper mass-produced tables and toppers.

I understand your point of view, but I don't think it's a problem at all. I have this on all my felts along with seat numbers, I find it helps a lot when organizing tournaments. Moving players is so much more streamlined than without.
When the seats are not filled, if players have the need to spread out then the allotted areas aren't large enough to begin with. IMO, of course.

Matt's awesome!!!
A customer just sent us this photo after replacing his stock felt all the way out in Switzerland.
View attachment 1181772 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/attachments/1181772/)
Did the customer tell you where the whole internal triple skull/stars/stripes (military stripes?) design came from? Was it just something they came up with or does it have some significance? Design is very unique.
He provided us with his own artwork actually, so I don't know if any significance of any parts.

The "betting line" line should be for decoration only. I like the rule when the chips are placed on table, in front of your cards and released, only then is a bet. I see to many fights about the "betting line".

How far in front of your cards? My cards are against the rail and capped; I place 10 $5 chips in front of my cards and let go, reaching back to my stack for more. Is that a string bet before I've pushed it forward? We cant just say in front of my cards. Distance matters, the line is a way of quantifying that distance.
In front of your cards is the distance.

Table Topper is awesome. I'm excited to see how it plays next weekend.
Full corporate sponsorship. Printed 12 of these to put onto our rental tables for a single night, then pulled them all off the next day. Each one has the logos rotated so that every company had a chance to be in the center and not shoved in the corner. Also alternated the middle color between red, green, blue, purple, orange and brown.
Some new branding for our rental division.

My table topper designed by @rjdev7 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/1014/). I'm very happy with the way it turned out!
I think that the main reason is due to the fact that poker table building forums all shut down. Scott Keen forum went the way of the blue wall, Perfect Man Cave activity died down drastically, Poker Table Forum got retired and is now merged with the PCF Poker table section.
Any good build threads went along with them. Photobucket changing their image policies to paid also played a part as well I think.
I used to post many build threads, but they all went away with the aforementioned forums. Then I went full time with poker table building so it's not in my best interest to share build plans anymore.
There's not a lot of builders anymore like there used to be in the early 2000's during the poker boom. There's still a few kicking around but you really have to do a lot of hunting to find them. There's still some good ones on PCF if you go through enough pages and threads. BYOPT has plans online, but most include the use of a jigsaw which is a bit of a red flag...
Back to poker table felts though!
The middle has a nice basket weave pattern:

Finally spent some time tonight working on my felt design that I'll be sending over to @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) as soon as I've got it close... I realized I know nothing about creative design lol... I don't know how some of the designers here just pop out these amazing felts.... anyway this is what I've come up with so far just using Canva. Our company name is BlackOak and the gold Oak leaf is our logo so I wanted to incorporate it into my table design. I've come up with the name " The Gold Leaf Lounge" for our club. All gold should look like a brass/gold color and the word "Lounge" should almost look like gold neon sign lettering if that makes sense... I'm not sure if #4,5,6 should have some sort of pattern on the black areas of the felt? Please feel free to judge it! haha if there's anyone with experience in felt design I'd love to hear your opinion! (These are in no particular order, just how they came out of Canva)
#1
#2
#3
#4
#5
#6
I'm no design expert, but here's my two cents:
Start with #5; lose the cards; shift "The Gold Leaf Lounge" to the left; add in the large oak leaf from #4
I get it... keep it simple right?
View attachment 1250897 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/attachments/1250897/)
Yep, exactly.
Using the oak leaf on the outer ring might work better now that the center is less cluttered, or you could the outer ring gold and the inner ring black, but I like this.

Ya I see it too. Thanks for the input! @4SUMERZ (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/5399/) suggested some sort of gold glitter or dust like effect on the black areas which I think could really add to that impact of a very simple design! all great ideas... you guys rock!
So the wife through a curve ball at my felt design tonight by adding in the rail (the brownish coloured rail is supposed to represent a Cognac colour) felt colours and even totally changing font and style in a few. #5 & #6 change font and logo style and #7 & #8 are a whole different direction.... Now I'm going down a whole new design rabbit hole this is going to be hard lol I think the reality is that I'm going to need to build 3 or 4 tables haha here's some new versions...

I like #8 because of the white on black, but it is called The Gold Leaf Lounge so I get the gold version. What if you took #8 and just made the leaf gold? Just a thought. I also like what you did with the cards and name at each end. I think you have a lot of winning designs there no matter which one you choose.

I'll definitely throw that change in and see how it looks! It's been way more difficult than I had originally thought it would be to come up with a design haha. Sometimes I look at some of the super simple felts and they look so clean and pro just they way they are. I also debate betting line vs no betting line... the choice is a tough on for sure!
I'm sure it's very difficult, but you'll nail it. You mentioned "clean and pro." The word "Professional" came to mind when I saw the design for #7 and #8 and it's not cluttered at all IMO. Lots of great looking tables on here, some very unique. Whatever choice you end up making, it would be cool to see it.

Just send me a PM with your address and I'll get you the shipping costs. The cloth itself would be $245 minutes artwork discount of $30 if all I'm doing is resizing.
Just finalized 2 semi-custom felts. 1 for a raised rail and the other for a regular table. Spent quite a bit of time working on a custom design and just couldn't come to a design I really liked yet. So instead, I decided to save a bit of money and go semi-custom with @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) and @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) on these 2 simple felts so I can get both tables in play while I take some time to create a custom design that I really love... believe it or not, colour selection is really difficult due to the fact that the real life printed colours are going to be much different than what we see on screens... best advice would be to contact @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) & @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) early in your design process and ask for a colour swatch or if you have specific colours in mind that you want to see samples of, they can help with that as well! Ray was extremely patient with me as I am a total pain in the ass when it comes to details haha Even on extremely simple felts like these... thanks for all your help guys!! Can't wait to get these on the tables!
Hi friends- looking for advice to utilize this 54” banquet table as a poker table. I’m pretty handy, but will need help with a rail for sure. I’m thinking rail with cup holders, lights, race track, and felt. Will be used as a second table, and for smaller games.
View attachment 1303064 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/attachments/1303064/)
Secondary/backup table or primary?
If it's a second table that would get only get occasional use, you could probably get away with a custom topper and be happy with it.
As a main table, you'd be looking at foam, felt and rails as you suspect. The first parts are not terribly difficult, but a rail (and especially a lit rail) are bigger projects, as you likely already suspect.
Not a bad start for the latter for sure. Table with legs already done and good to go will shave time and stress during the build. I'm interested to see how you progress with this if you do the full rail.

A secondary table. Yes, the table is solid. Legs fold and are heavy duty. I pulled it out yesterday to set up for Easter and decided to use it for poker to save some time cleaning up. We played on it last night with this topper and I hope to never have to do that again

Do your games usually have more than 8 players? You say it will be a secondary table, but when your players get some games in playing on a round, you won't want to go back to oval. We only play on my big oval if we have more than 8. Round is so much better.

Yes, most of our games are with 10. Last week was only 6 and I needed the round table nor Easter guest anyway, so busted out the old octagon table. AND, Yes! We enjoyed the round table which is what prompted this thread :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Updated Animal House felt and matching chips. Tony’s fleece side felt is working out very well so far. Nice feel, cards slide well, and it looks great. Thanks again Tony!
Felts just came in! I have to say the material and print colour/sharpness far exceed anything I've sampled. I haven't felt a cloth like this before and I really don't know how it could get any better than this! Supper impressed! Thanks so much @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) & @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) Once I finalize my full custom design I'll be sure to reach out again right away!

Has anyone recently received a new custom felt from @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/)? Just wanted to know what the best way to get the wrinkles and creases out from shipping? Obviously don't want to damage the felt. Any advice definitely appreciated!

Did your felt come folded or on a roll?
Mine just came, and it was folded. My buddy who works in the casino with me, and does all the layouts in table games, said to use a garment steamer to get the folds out before installing.

He says to iron the layout from the back side on low to medium heat.

Mine came folded. I ran an iron over the back of the felt.

Dry or with steam?
Repeated starch ironing worked for me. It didn’t get it 100% perfect but after installing and letting it settle you can’t even tell it was ever wrinkled.

Amazing! Was that on a recent T_Chan felt? The only reason I ask is just because I know everyone is using slightly different materials... I'll definitely test it out on the excess area of the cloth! Really appreciate the idea!!
I’ve done this on a recent Chanman felt and also a thicker casino felt with very deep wrinkles.
On my most recent Chanman I actually let it lay out for a day like this after ironing too before final install. No issues whatsoever. Don’t overthink it. They arrive super wrinkled and they tend to work themselves out it seems. I’ve also heard of some people throwing in the wash but I have not tried that.

That's a beauty! Appreciate the encouragement haha I've had it hanging flat for a few days now. Ironed it today but didn't have much luck. I'll definitely give the starch ironing a shot tomorrow! These pictures are from after ironing today and what I'm working with...
Yep looks pretty standard and how mine looked. Try that starch I posted above. It’s good stuff.

My iron has a steam feature which I tried to use but I have no idea if I used it right. But the wrinkles came out.

I particularly like the space proportions of the betting line. Is it at halfway between rail and center? So, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4 of the width? Or was if just eyeballed?

This was all @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) He recommended a 7" "racetrack" basically, from the inside of the rail to the betting line. I'm definitely happy with the spacing! I'm assuming it will depend mostly on the table size as well. This table is 7' x 3.5'. Definitely chat with @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) and he will be able to guide you for sure!

I may have asked already but who made the diffuser? Is it just a sticker ontop of a white acrylic diffuser?
Man I really need to come up with a more simpler design. In my head I had something that I thought was going to be a good idea (busy). However second guessing myself because the simple less busy just looks so much cleaner.

Yea I think I’ve seen on your website before when I’ve been looking into building a table. I think I’ve booted that down the line for now.
Right now I’m leaning into some of the toppers I see that Ryan makes for our current table as well as one of the Barrington tables. They seem like a really good foldable option.
I believe I saw you do the design work at 100 an hour past the initial two hours when ordering custom felt. Is that something you offer in general or only when ordering felt? And would one of your designs be able to be used else where? I’m assuming yes.
$75/hr for any design work. Either without ordering a cloth, or after using up 2 hours when ordering a custom felt.
Re-felted a table for a poker buddy I built many years ago. 66 in. Thank you for your awesome work @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/).

Quick questions for my European fellas, where would you buy your table cloth? All I seem to find ia either the normal speed cloth or poker top (which btw I wonder if it can be used for a custom build table).
Thanks in advance!

@T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) would be my first address, even here in Europe. The quality is top notch and with the FX rate for CHF vs. CAD, it's comparable with buying locally. Alternatively, Matsui also does custom felts over here.

If you turned up the opacity on the background images, it wouldn't be so bad. But as long as the customer is happy.
Here's the artwork file to make it a lot clearer. I found the Goku and Vegeta images online, combined them on the felt then added a dragon image I had on file. I wish I could have used Shenron but I couldn't find a good image to use. I thought the betting line would be funky to have it fade between the two colors.

Cool idea, but for better playability, should have gone with a 60" round instead of an oval table. It would be miserable to play a game of monopoly from the end of the oval, plus round tables are awesome for poker too!

First attempt of designing my custom (Halo 3 themed) felt for my first table build - never used adobe illustrator before this. Any suggestions to improve/add to it are welcome.
Less is more. Easy to get overly eager with layers when designing something. Drop the card holders and the overlay over the icons. I would also align things better (seems a bit off). Also the white borders kinda does not make sense for the colour scheme you have gone for.
Edit: would also drop the black on the edges and make the icons the outer part. Get better quality of the image you are going to use for the centerpiece, or swap it out for something different

I’m fine with it being a bit mental tbh, it’s all the halo maps in the card holders, pretty nostalgic to me and a few friends - I will get rid of the white borders and try blend it in a bit better and change the colour of the betting line. The overlay is just a watermark
The black edges is just to show the rail and the main image in the front is in vector format, why it doesn’t look good quality (it looks better on AI)

You asked for advice, but all good. It is your own design after all 🙂
The first thing you learn in any design is that white space is your friend, and clutter is your enemy. White space is basically breathing room that allows something to shine - less is more.
Backtrack in this thread and look how great felts look like for inspiration. Start with a plan, edit and redo it until you are happy. Also - the quality of the images you use matters a lot, especially for something that is going to be printed. If you struggle in AI someone can do it for you for a buck.
Good luck!
You already have drink holders at the spot, the square on the gel is redundant - also do you want three players sitting at designate spots, I would rather they sit as they wish once you get to short table poker. Nice design though.
I’ve got a chanman table with custom cloth it was built around 2018-2019. I don’t recall what exact type of cloth it was. It got a tequila and soda drink spilled and now it looks like a water mark. Should we just dab at it with a wet warm cloth or should I get a steam cleaner? Thanks.

Take the felt off and wash it. Cold water, delicate cycle with detergent. I've used spray and wash on stains.
Dry on air dry or delicate cycle. I've washed my felts in the washing machine multiple times. They come out looking brand new. Don't worry about wrinkles. When you put them back on, they will pull the wrinkles right out assuming you use a light coat of adhesive.

It's gaming suede. The material is very durable, you can do as Craig mentioned, and you can also use a steam cleaner. Many people have used a steam cleaner on our felts with no signs of damage. Dabbing it with a cloth to soak up excess liquid is always the best first step, but if the stain remains, then some more drastic measures are required.

Yes. I use a very light spray of 3M #77

Yes! The Little Green is also a great option that I use in between washer/dryer cycles. It's especially good when someone spills a beer.

Curious, is this from the felt material, or is this part of the design (print)?

This is very classy. Great job. Love it!
Edit: What did you wrap the rail with? That looks very cool.
It was a build by BBO Poker tables I got a couple of years ago (semi custom where you choose from a list of options and they build).
Shared some info here:
https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/bbo-aces-pro-alpha-poker-table-feedback.125357/
The rail is this material:
I really like the felt design it came with, but might change it so looking here for thoughts.
I love the texture pattern on the blue sections.
Curious, is this from the felt material, or is this part of the design (print)?
Part of the design!

Thanks for sharing. Looks even better close-up! Does it live up to its "soft" name?
I tried to find a local supplier here in Australia without success, but I did find it listed somewhere (https://www.albrightssupply.com/endurasoft-carbon-fiber-marine-vinyl-classic-black-car100)as "marine vinyl". A good friend runs a marine upholstery business about 2 hours away from me, so I might be in luck if he sources anything from Enduratex.
Edit: I personally really like the current felt design you've got on this. Unless it's worn and needs replacing, I'd save my money for something else rather than replace it. But that's just my personal take.

Yep- I’d say it’s more flexible than soft. I like the look of it for a couple of reasons - glad I went for it.
I really like the current felt design, it’d last for years. However I have a slight case of the ‘PCF curse’ and would like to make it a little more personal - the font I had added is still super basic and I could have done a better job there.
I ordered a color & felt sample from @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) today - no rush to make a change, but think part of the next evolution on the home setup:
Next step sounds like is to decide either ‘smooth’ or ‘fleece’ side up. Will wait and see when I get the sample.
Edit: link to @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) thread
With amateur dealers, always opt for the most slippery felt. It's rule #1

Yeah, @T_Chan (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/71/) recommended:
“Looks like you have a dedicated dealer spot. For that style of table, I would recommend the fleece side. You only need the smooth side if you plan on dealing from the ends of the table and need max card glide.”
However most of my games will be self dealt, and my current table is on the more ‘fleecey’ side and folk do struggle to pitch the cards across if you sit at the ends. So I’m leaning the smooth side.

I had a crack at making a V2 of the existing felt design for you, paying homage to the original that already looks so nice on that table. I hope you like it.

Nice - something to think about for the design elements - that looks much better.
Quick questions for my European fellas, where would you buy your table cloth? All I seem to find ia either the normal speed cloth or poker top (which btw I wonder if it can be used for a custom build table).
Thanks in advance!
I've got some adresses if still in need.
Tables look Great
The newest cloth after removing the racetrack, making a new rail with cup holders.
I am just now seeing this thread. The artwork is mine, but Gorilla Gaming did my printing.
In this pic, you can see the felt draped over the rear table, as it wasn’t completed just yet. I’m thrilled to have the same felts on my tables now. You can see the tables are slightly different sizes, shapes and configurations, but the felts being the same makes most people think they are identical.
Spent the afternoon redoing the Elk's Lodge tables.

These turned out great! Good to see them installed.

Thank you! The members were very happy with them!!
Man I’m bored at work today. Let me start with, I can’t afford a table right now, but one can daydream. Someday, would love to do a custom table for my basement. Would double as a board game table. I’m thinking about a concept themed around poker, D&D, with nods to another interest, WWE. I worked this up a thumbnail concept in PowerPoint so the proportions all off, and I’d recolor the card graphics from red to pink matching the font, but you’ll get the idea. Let me know what you think!

Needs a dragon or something. Might be too busy though.
It might just be my OCD but the full hearts should be the top three to the left. At least according to legend of Zelda.
We use the poker table for board games all the time.

I would lean into one theme a bit more, if its a poker table you don't really want the full card art on it. It's a poker table seems redundant to me.
I would do something like a dungeons layout and put images of iconic D&D monsters.
Something like this for the base
and then something like this to mark the phat loots
You could have an adventure party
a necro a berserker
ect...

Love it! Also, I’m not sure about the Zelda thing. I think it drains right to left, top to bottom. I took this from Google, but that’s how I thought I remembered it. Maybe I’ve got a Mandela effect

That’s funny. Maybe the olds school Zelda games exhausted hearts that way. I can’t remember that I ever had 2 rows on the old games. The new ones. BOTW and TOTK exhaust from bottom right

That must be it - I haven’t played much of BOTW.
Another shout out to @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/)
I've had several "non-conventional" poker table themes lately and @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) has killed it on all of them.

I like the threme, and especially the footballs where the players sit. Great job.
I'm currently at the final design stages with the team from Chanman Poker tables and couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. Here's what will be printed unless they say something needs to change.
Background - I've been an Ayrton Senna fan since I can remember watching races. Loved the mid-80s Lotus FI John Player Special livery and have a fully themed racing garage where we play poker. Including a 14' x 8 ft Carrera slot car layout. Also, I own a Lotus Evora 400.
Not ideal for poker IMO, but worth posting to give @Bloo_Design (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/12962/) props for his work on this one.
This table went to Australia, the board was made from scratch with property pieces for that region.

New custom Horseshoe Pesta 1895 ΑΛΩ matte felt sitting on top of the Athenian Owl Club table's felt, by @rjdev7 (https://www.pokerchipforum.com/members/1014/) :)
My newest. From the Mirage theme to the Hockey theme.
Here is the table that I came up with and had some great help from Ray @ Chanman. Was a fun build and it plays very well. Many compliments. I'm a big Ayrton Senna fan and this is the car he earned his first F1 victory. The years in the betting line are the years of Lotus' F1 Contructor's titles. Eliminated the Heart from the suits and added Colin Allen Brown Chapman (founder of Lotus) initials. Table folds up on pivoting frame for storage.

Looks great! Glad we were able to achieve what you wanted.
Does anyone here design felts? for what i’m wanting I don’t really think it makes sense to have a company design it (very minimal). Would be happy to compensate for time as well.
If you are going through Chanman you get some design time included.
Evening all, I’ve decided I need a felt topper vs using my neoprene board game toppers. I’m new at this so looking for some advice, mainly is the concept I’m working on to busy for poker??? I feel like I started out pretty simple and it ended a bit wild after a few chatGPT prompts 😅.
I will be using this in my odd dimensioned dining table hence the limited seats and ratio.
Thanks for the assistance!
Stupid question: do you measure a poker table from outer rail to outer rail to determine the length?
Or from one end of felt inside the rail to the other point inside the rail?
Thank you!
Both
Both
For instance, I'm looking for a custom felt/speed cloth and see some posters saying they have a 7-foot table or 8-foot table.
So I would just tell the vendor both measurements then? Outermost part od the rail to the other is 8 ft, felt to felt is 86 inches.
Love your YouTube videos btw T_Chan, I'm going to use this as my guide for renovating my first table.
Yeah, both measurements are the best. Technically I only need the inside of the rail dimension but it's good to know how wide the rail is. Our first drafts also usually include the rail so with the color of vinyl you're going to use so that you can get a better idea of how the whole thing will look. Then we remove the rail from the artwork before it gets sent to print.
I do a bit of graphic design, and i could use the practice if anyone would like to get their ideas into a design, ready to be printed :)

What do we think as far as colors go? 🤔

I like the grey - I think it makes the colors pop and might do the same for your chips and make them stand out more!
Depends on the colors of the chips
