I enjoy working on pool tables a bit and I want to learn how to do all these things myself. I recently bought some new cloth and cushions and have been redoing my 9' table. I'm pretty good at the bed cloth now so I started with the rails. Most people seem to struggle with the rails. I've heard that once you get the hang of it, they really aren't any more difficult to do.
Okay, so my problem is that when I get to the corner pockets, I can not get the fabric to pull around the facing / pocket opening without wrinkles... This is frustrating me a bit. I've been trying since yesterday afternoon. There is a billiard guy 60 miles from here but I really don't want to pay him to do the rails and I really want to learn how to do this myself.
I've followed a few youtube videos and Mose Duane's instructions in A "Rookie's Guide to Pool Table Maintenance and Repair", but I just cannot get it down. I end up with a HUGE amount of fabric every time.
ANY help would be a great treasury of knowledge from you experts out there. I am eager to learn!
