Hi, I have been playing poker with friends for quite a while now and I was thinking that I should probably start playing on felt to make it more professional and all. I have very little skill in carpentry but was told by someone that all I would need to do was get the felt material, make a sort of table cloth out of it and drape it over the round table I have been using.

I have been doing research today and it seems to me that a felt table covering would not work and that I would have to put a foam underlay on and use air gun staplers and other stuff. Not only do I not think I have the skills for this, I would also like to use the table for eating dinner aswell when i'm not playing poker.

Please reply and tell me if i could just make a table cloth out of felt or whether I would need to put some more work into it.

Thankyou in advance.
