Reddit mentions of Action Valley Pocket Nails

I've been looking into doing the same thing myself pretty soon. Some useful things that I have found have been

• Use unsuited speed cloth with 1/4" foam under for the table base since liquids bead on it and its easy to pick up cards on.
  
• I'm planning on doing a table with an 3-4" indented center that is able to be covered. I'm still deciding whether I want to have leafs that are seated in the table that I can remove when I want to play, or having a lid/lids that hang over the side of the table.
  
• There is a site that you can order custom board gaming tables at, where I got some inspiration. I'd look through their site to see if you want to use any of their ideas.
  
  As for wrapping leather around the edge of the table, the thing that comes to mind for me is how billiards pockets are attached to tables. Depending on the style of wrapping you want to do, I would maybe wrap a piece of foam with leather, gluing it on the backside, then use Pocket Nails in order to secure it to the table. I would probably glue it to the table as well to ensure it is secure. You could also just glue it and use shorter decorative nails of your choice.
