My brother wanted a poker table. So I made him one....

Birch plywood cut out and dry fit.

Green foam for the arm rests and I covered it with faux Alligator skin.

just making sure it will fit in the room, and still have enough room to walk around the table.

All done...10 people can play comfortably, and everyone has 24" of space in front of them for room to move.....

it only took a few hours to cut it all out and assemble it. poker every thursday at my brother's house!!! who's in?

Thanx for the kudos guys. He originally wanted to do an oval but after laying it out, it just didn't look right. So we came up with that design after a few other tries of other designs. That took the most time. The felt in the middle is replaceable too. Just unbolt it and change out the material. That's incase "someone" makes a mess of it.

I was going to make one for myself but I didn't have enough room to set it up. Oh well. Maybe next time.....

Well glad I'm not the only aircraft mechanic around! I work for an airline though, working on Saab 340B and the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400. The first image is me in the Saab 340, and the flight deck image is of the Saab as well. The overwing aircraft is the Q400 I'll continue with a few more in the Q

This is a fellow coworker trying to find a leak in the windshield. Had water running down under the screens in the rain. Then the flit deck of the Q400, and just a picture of us bringing one into the hangar. If I get some time I'll get some inside the engine pictures,

Good stuff! I love planes!

I've worked 5 different airframes, 4 of which I'd say I'm proficient on. The 5th was the process of being phased out when I started the company, so I never had much time on it

Have ypu had the opportunity to work on a P51 mustang? Thats one of my favs!

I am currently working as a parts manager for a boiler and pump company. it's not bad. My last job was as a crane mechanic for 4 years. and before that i was in the air force for 6 years as a munitions troop building bombs and stuff like that. Let me see what kind of pictures i can dig up...

This is me on top of a building in downtown Baltimore inspecting a cooling tower.

Since we are showing stuff around the house... Cabinets i put up and 16 feet of color changing LED lights in our living room.

I also used to build mini trucks... this is a door panel

The inside of a chill water pump before i rebuilt it

That...is some cool work. I like flame truck panel...nicely done sir. I actually got 100' of fiber optic light. It changes to 4 different colors. When I was setting up a stage for the Backstreet Boys they couldn't use it and they didn't want to put it back on the truck...so the manager was giving it away. I just happened to be in front of him when he was about to toss it.
Anyhow....Maybe I could put it in my living room! Woo thanx for a great idea bsipes!

 

[bsipes30]

Here is a picture of the whole truck rip...

Also a link to a video if the lights on youtube, it also has a slow fade feature that is not shown in the video. We usually like it on the slow fade. It just rolls through the colors nice and easy. The remote is wireless and has a ton of options, you can even blend your own custom colors and save them on 6 different buttons!

No I only work commercial aircraft. We see some wicked stuff come through in the private jet parking.

I don't have a clue if this will work... if not I'll fix it when I'm back in town and @ my computer!

If it works its a picture of our tank on a flatbed trailer under Tulsa's blue skies. Beautiful day, just a little shy of 80 degrees.
