Amazing skills all the way through.
Thanks for posting, I thought it was very interesting. A fairly complex assembly. Even the pocket assembly and install appeared complex. Did I miss them using beeswax or Bondo to seal the slate seams? It appears they didn't.
I wonder why they tack the cloth on instead of staple. Anyone know?
Because during the install they generally temporarily tack around the middle pockets to stretch in other areas then they need to be removed to work around the middle pockets in the final stage.
Snooker cloth usually gets re-stretched at 3- 6 months in a club, tacks are easier to remove.
Also staples don't hold as well as tacks and can tear through the pure wool cloth.
So the cloth is different than 860 or 760 and pulled much tighter I am assuming if they restretch it? Or is the restretch a function of the size rather than the cloth?
860 is 90% wool/10% nylon, Strachan 6811 or No.10 is 100% wool.
The size and the cloth type would be a factor in stretching.
Questions answered, thank you
