An 8-person poker table is the most popular size. It’s the size that most home poker games are played on.
A good 8-person poker table can be bought for around $100.
To make your own 8-person poker table, you’ll need:
8 regular-sized tables – these can be found at any store that sells furniture or carpentry supplies
8 chairs – these can be found at any store that sells furniture or carpentry supplies
8 square sheets of plywood – each about 1 foot by 1 foot, or 23 cm by 23 cm
8 metal screws – about 2 inch long, 1 inch wide, and ¾ inch deep
8 brackets – each about 2 inches by 2 inches, or 5 cm by 5 cm
8 wood screws – about 2 inch long, 1 inch wide, and ¾ inch deep
First, measure the length and width of each table leg. Make a drawing of it so you don’t make any mistakes. You’ll also need to measure the height of the table top. These measurements will determine the size of your brackets.
The brackets will hold up the plywood to the tables. Note: The brackets should be slightly larger in diameter than the screws so they don’t slip in the wood.
