More poker tables
Building poker tables full time has allowed me to pump out some tables out of the Chanman factory. Here's a few I wanted to share. Some of the table are pretty dusty in the pics along with my camera lens.
Octagon table, 54" wide, 59" wide corner to corner.
Custom cloth with simulated SSC pattern
The white specs are just dust/lint from the cloth I used to wipe off the cloth
They also ordered 4 drink carts in oak
Gaming table for board games
48" across
I donated this table to charity last year. They contacted me recently with the specs they wanted. 54" across.
Grey SSC table
42"x84", brushed aluminum raised rail and outside trim

Black on black table, 42"x84"

Thanks for asking.
Jesus man! That's really great to hear! Running your own business is absolutely not an easy task. Believe me, I know.
I'm a great painter, horrible business person. I have no clue what I'm doing and basically just stumbling along making money and dealing with paperwork, banking, etc. when the pile becomes insurmountable.
You've made PFC proud Sir.
I'm much busier now that I've picked up graphic design to design all of my customers' custom cloths as well as any raised rail designs. Not to mention 3D renderings of tables using Sketchup. Then all of the bookeeping to top it off... I used to do some bookeeping for my old family business but just simple stuff. Learning about importing/exporting and taxes is exerting.
I'm going away on holidays on a cruise late this month for a week, it should be nice to get away and recharge the batteries. Nothing more relaxing than a cruise where I can kick back and throw down some Mai Tais.
I can come?
Can you help me move my couch?
Then yes.
Probably if you don't even help me move my couch..... just it causes me back pain and shit.
Sir, you need a pro for that. Amateurs gonna amateur, scuff floors, ding up walls. All hell gonna break loose.
On the blue table, I changed to 3/4" solid oak. Those are definitely not going to break. The sides are also made of solid oak, so I would imagine it would be difficult to break one of those.
I'm no pro but I've moved many a couch in my day. If you need a hand let me know.
You guys really need to be careful, union rules and all that..
I have no idea why we create our own problems, but we just can't seem to stop ourselves.
Always tough to play both sides of the fence, even if you're strong on both.
I've been doing really well with the business side, and I'm a pretty good painter, but I need additional labour to keep up with demand and for the life of me, I cant solve that riddle. Who'd of thought you couldn't find some who will work for $20/hr?
It's always something.
You can't find someone who will paint for $20/hr? What's the catch?
This is the job.

You gonna give it a try on your next job, or am I gonna do it?
Please no epoxy or oil. Please please please..
What about sanding with it?
I can't believe neither of us have come out with the caulking jokes. However, over the years they've gotten a little boring for me.
But don't get me started on stir sticks.
I've never heard a stir stick joke?!?! WTF? Fire me off a few.
Nice tables Tony, sorry for the derail. Painters gonna painter caulk and apparently stir stick joke.
The topper is huge to fit over his pool table but he was already using it already as a poker table so he said he was used to the size. It's 97"x53" with a 7.25" rail. Upholstering this bad boy was tough but it worked.

In this picture the whole topper is sitting on top of a sheet of plywood
