This is one very interesting topic as I have always wondered how a Craps table is made, and since I've loved the game for over 20 years, always wanted one of my own.
I honestly believe that a finished Craps table can be classified as a piece of art.
I,m going to build a regulation 12′ craps table. I'm going to make my plans availible for purchase at a reasonable $100.00 I have researched the tables extensively. Gen contractor for 30 years and have my own cabinet shop. I'm building a craps table and I am making it from 3/4' oak plywood. When I throw the dice and they hit the table it seems like it's hitting hard. The craps table is covered in felt that is printed with a diagram showing the spaces for the types of bets. There is a center section where Hardways and One Roll bets can be placed. The ends of the table each have sections for the Pass Line, Come, Place, Field, and other bets. The ends of the table are mirror images of each other. How to build a Craps Table Part 1 Posted August 9, 2012. I got this bright idea last year to build my own craps table. The table I built morphed into many forms, each one a little better than the previous form. This blog entry will chronicle the entire project up to the present.
I have limited space so I need to have a mini tub style 1.8m (6ft) – 2.4m (8ft)
I've looked and looked for a place that sells them but alas can't seem to find anywhere. If you know of somewhere please leave me a comment.
In the absence of buying one, I'll have to make one, or convince someone else with more woodworking skills and equipment to build one for me as a worthy project. I'm thinking maybe one of the local Mens Sheds would be able to help me out for a nice donation to their very worthy cause.
I think it all starts with the felt layout, so I'm going to source that first and then build the table up around it.
I'll be documenting the journey, which is the purpose of this website for my own selfish diarised record and others will benefit as well.
In the mean time I've scoured the internet looking for 'how to build a craps table' resources and found that quite a few people have the same idea.
Here are some plans – http://www.dicesetter.com/Dice%20Help/Craps.tableplans.htm
