Well this how my second table turned out...
nothing out of the ordinary, but I'm pleased with it. 
Cheers,

Very nice! 
Might be a silly newbie question (never built a table) how'd you get the oval on the felt? Did you paint it in or did you buy it that way?

I made a stencil and applied it with screen printing ink.
The stencil was made from 3 sheets of card, from an art supplies shop, taped together.
The slit was cut with a scalpel and a combination of straight edge and home made compasses (long thin strip of wood, drawing pin - thumb tack - pushed through for the centre, then moved an 1/8"... scalpel held against the end of the wood).
As you cut the slit apply a peice of tape across it every 9 - 12" to keep the two peices aligned.
I sprayed the back of the stencil with 'spray mount', art supply shop again... laid it in position... then dabbed the yellow ink on with a piece of sponge, removing the tape holding the stencil together as you go.
Remove the stencil... et voila!! 
Cheers,
RR

You know, that would be really cool.
(Rewind gets what is probably a really bad idea in his head)
