James Powers
I started designing poker tables during my last year in the military in 2001. The first few tables I built were for my game room and friends. I started a business building custom poker tables and sold them online to individuals for personal use and small casinos. I stayed in the business for a few years which provided me a decent income while I continued going to school part time and raising a family. I eventually received my business degree from Connecticut State University and went to work for various companies such as Pfizer and Dell. I’m now publishing my own authored books on building poker tables using the methods that I’ve developed over the years. I’ve also started a publishing company “Powers Publishing” that focuses on “Do it yourself” and “How to” books and hope to help other aspiring authors achieve success.

About the Author
Introduction
This set of poker table plans will assist you through the various stages of poker table design and construction. These plans are to be used as a reference guide for you to build a high quality, classic design poker table. We cannot guarantee the quality of your table when you’re done, as that depends on the efforts that you put into your table. I strongly recommended that you read all chapters before you apply any building concepts into actual table construction.
In every chapter involving construction, we will provide you with a list of required materials and tools, as well as a list of recommended tools that may allow for faster and easier construction. You should make a list of all the tools and materials you will actually use to build your table.
We recommend that you read all the sections of these plans so that you become familiar with all the tools and supplies that you need before you begin.
