We started our poker table building business back in 2004 for Monte Casino and have since grown from strength to strength. After an initial 20 poker tables for Monte Casino we went on to make 8 more poker tables for Piggs Peak Casino.

In our early days we worked from my house out of my garage for starters and we produced that first 28 tables in five weeks, not bad if take into consideration that we had to make the tables completely by hand, nothing in those early days was produced with machines.

So for everybody that ever wanted to do something big take heed of the fact that anything is possible, all you need is to keep a couple of things in mind when you tackle something big.

In 2006 we started using CNC machines to produce tables, man we saved a lot of time! But yet again we had to evolve so to speak because in order to cut something with a CNC machine you need to use a program to design exactly what you want the machine to cut. So I taught myself you to draw using a program like Turbo cad which I bought for a mere 500 at a hobby expo at the dome. Many many hours of frustration and practice went in learning to draw tables.

To date we produced 210 casino tables of various sorts such as Poker, Black Jack, Roulette and Baccarat tables excl all the home tables for poker.

In December 2007 we move into a factory since we ran out of space at home, and also started manufacturing furniture and kitchen cabinets.

And just in case you wondered No we did not get rich! Not in money but we most definitely got very rich in knowledge and experience and I would not change that for anything, So for us it is still the feeling of satisfaction you get from making a quality product from nothing and pleasing yourself and your client.

So we hope to make you as proud of owning one of our tables as we are in making it.

P.S Just want to thank the people who made all this possible namely, my wife Bettie for putting up with me despite the long hours.
