I currently have a 4 table set up at my house...
2 of the tables are mine, the other 2 are tables I built for friends. They agreed to me use the tables for an upcomming game before they pick them up.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

I built mine using Junell's plans. They were perfect. Go to google and search for Junell Poker Table.

I got plans from King Poker Tables (they were ~15.00, you can google the name)
The plans are really detailed and give you options for a 'normal' table or a 'racetrack' table. There are also free plans out there (links on HomepokerTourney.com) but i decided to spend a couple extra bucks to get the best ones i could find.
I also added 10 drink holders to each table- a lot of extra work but worth the effort to not have peoploe dumping beers all over the tables.
I have now built 7 of the tables... The last batch (3 tables total) took ~1 day.
Biggest things I would do:
Spend the extra $ for "suited Hold Em cloth" it costs more but is worth it
Buy solid 3/4" plywood for the base- partical board, etc will fall apart if you use it much
Cup holders are a must
Put eyebolts in the back so you can hang the table on a wall out of the way
Let me know if you need any help

I've been thinking about trying to make a poker table as a project this summer. How experienced do you need to be in order to make one of these? I have literally no experience with woodworking or building anything. Should I even attempt it?

You will be fine if you can run a power saw- every cut you make gets covered with foam and fabric so you can hide any mistake you make... Basically you cut an oval for the base, glue on padding, and staple on the fabric. Then you cut the oval ring for the rail and do the same. It's not exactly rocket science- you just need to run a saw and a staple gun.
