Ooop, guess I should have been a bit more clear: the staples are going on the bottom of the table
I definitely could go more indepth with it, but I'm really just quickly throwing these together for my poker night next week. I'm not really concerned about the padding or anything (although it would help for riffling chips). These are just temporary tables for the monthly poker night. I'm hoping that by June or so, I'll be getting one of the tables from that guy in Windsor that I mentioned.
I'll probably keep the table tops around after that though. I've got a (almost) 4-month old that is going to need a train set in a few years
. Plus they'll be good for other gaming nights. Playing Risk 2210 on a regular sized table is damn near impossible...
