Pocket Leathers

[SGTLARSEN]

Hello Everyone,
I’m going to keep the questions to a minimum this time!!!
I need Leather Pockets for 20th Century.

What is the Quality of these pocket leathers?

Are these something I can install myself?

Is there some where I can get Pockets Leathered for a reasonable price?

Thanks
Short post from now on, I Promise

Hey SGTLARSEN,

Try these sites...http://www.lakesidebilliardsupply.com/pooltablepocket.html or

http://www.bestbilliard.com/catalog/1001.cfm?category=Pockets

Best billiard will sell you a single iron and can do the recovering. They'll also tell you how to do it yourself.

You asked about a colorado table mech on the other thread. If you check the last page of the sticky on this forum there are two mechs in colorado advertising their services, one in Denver the other in Stering.

OOOppps....sorry,I missed the 20th Century part. If they can't help you this is the only place I've found besides Hood and Classic that advertise 20th Century irons (at 4 1/2" I think these are the pool irons,set of 6)

Leather work is really specialized just work with hood or find a local leather craftsman. You can buy leather rivets that you just hit with a anvil and hammer but you need to get the right size.
Good luck

When you get to Ft. Carson, go to Antique Billiards in C-Springs. Jim can point you in the right direction on getting work done, and may have some ideas for you as well.
Just don't play him golf for your paycheck!lol
He's got all kinds of stuff around his poolroom, and knows everyone it seems-

Dartman,
Yah I think your right about getting stuff from Thompson,

I called on the 20th century pocket iron for $75 for the set, http://www.billiardsstore.com/products/description/2576.cfm
and they said they would be $80 a piece. I think they might do stuff like this alot.



Thanks for the heads up..

Per the link they adv $75 for a set. If you add it to your cart they're $75 each.
I called them several times about a set of corner miters and kept getting voicemail - never got a callback.

Too bad RC Designs went out of biz - they had a large selection of irons.

cuephoric,

I got a hold of jim Wow that is a big pool Hall, he has some beautiful tables in there. He has been real helpfull, he is going to set me up with someone that can level and clothe my table.

If anyone else needs their 20th Century Chrome Shields re-Chromed, I had mine done at OCPlating.com They did a great job and they were 1/4 TO LESS EXSPENSIVE THAN EVERYONE ELSE. $120 FOR ALL 6 SHIELDS.
