In this step however you aren't going to cut off everything that hangs over the edge. This time you need to leave 1.5' extra on the inside of the rail and 3' on the outside.(Figure 3-3) The reason for this is so that your poker table will have a railing that is padded on the inside and outside instead of just the top. The extra foam will get wrapped around the sides of the poker table rail to make a seemless padding on all sides. If you don't understand this step please refer to the cross section of the padded rail.(Figure 3-3b)

Now its time upholster the padded rail with vinyl. The first step to adding the vinyl is exactly the same as upholstering the poker table top. Simply stretch the vinyl tight and get it stapled on all sides.(Figure 3-4) If this is your first poker table you may want to hold off on trimming the extra vinyl until the inside is also completed. Once the outside is completed you should have something that resembles a large drum. You then want to cut the vinyl down the middle and in a star pattern on each end.(Figure 3-4)

Now that you have the vinyl cut, the sides are extremely easy to get out of the way so I do them first.(Figure 3-5) Make sure that you pull the vinyl as hard as you can when your putting the staples in. If you finish this step and your forearms aren't sore, your poker table rail probably could have been better. When you start on the ends of the table you will find that you will probably have to continue to make these cuts in order to get the vinyl to wrap around the inner curve of the padded rail. Just make sure that you don't cut too close to the rail or you may end up with a tear in the vinyl that's showing on the finished poker table. Thats not good upholstering.
