I'm setting this one up on Wednesday at Pool Table Liquidators in Fullerton. You can come play on it and see for yourself. All the angles are the same, just more wood replaced.

Are you saying you weren't comfortable when you did mine over two years ago? ;)

As you know, I get nothing but compliments on how it plays and all the measurements on every pocket are identical.

You do excellent work, Donny. Sometimes you are little too modest, my friend. :thumbup:
 
Mitchell, I wasn't replacing any wood when I did your table. The subrails on your table are stock. I'm feeling more comfortable going deeper into the rail and replacing more wood when necessary. A couple guys are going deeper than this, uctually going under the formica.

I was just funnin' with ya' Donny - about the first part, not the second. Everyone around here who has used you knows how great your work is. Are these rails from that San Diego table you picked up that I'd mentioned to you? I figured it might have had some issues.

Yes, this is the guy you referred me to in San Diego. Do you want commission when I sell it? LOL. Was his screenname flubber? I want to send him picts, he started to restore it and changed his mind.
 
Beautiful work, What miter angles do you use?

I kept the rail stock brunswick angles and made the angle changes to the extensions. I used Diamond pocket angles, so the pockets will accept the ball a little easier, since the pockets are tight.
 
Do you glue the extension on first then cut your angles and brad nail it after its cut? What kind of wood is that is it Popular? Im going to have my pocket angles changed and im trying to find out all I can. thanks

LMAO, I just saw it and thought you may be interested in doing something with it. Reward enough to see an old beat up GC brought back to championship condition. Great job, Donny.
 
Thanks Donnie
