Recalibrated rails, Black Diamond. Built out pockets, diamond specs, 4.5". Best playing tabke I've had. Better than most tournament diamonds I've played on. Miles better than a room full of gold crown 3s redone by one of you two.
I'm with Cleary....I'll take my beat down table, total cost 1600 bucks and my state pension job over sleeping in a van by the river. Keep er classy Glenn.
And YOU recalibrate the rails?....oh lord...LOL I'm almost afraid to ask....but what the heck, got any pictures of YOUR work, you've seen my work, I'd just like to see work done better by YOU than Mark and I both put together can do.....LMFAO

What does that even mean when you say Diamond specs?....do you even know? And Diamond black cushions on an Anniversary?....why would you even do that unless you're just to cheap to buy Brunswick Superspeed cushions, never mind, I just realized I answered my own question....LMAO

I really don't want in this...but since you said one of you two....then I'm on board.
First of all.....for you to even use diamond black cushions says you know nothing about tables or rails.
And if you would like to make a bet that your table plays better than any table I've done.....here's the window.
No one is getting on anyone for doing their own work if they chose.....but don't make statements that are going to make you sound foolish.
Do you have any idea of the work that needs to be done to a set of rails....before you can even put any set of cushions on that rail.
Most of the guys offering rail work don't even know....but you do....someone that never works on tables.
Come on man.....don't let pride stand in the way of reality.
After 15 yrs of working on rails....I think I can clam to know how rails are to be done correctly
Good luck with your anniversary....if your happy with the table....that's all that matters.

Cleary, I have never met a table mechanic, who was NOT arrogant as hell!..They act as though lasik eye surgeons, are well below them in performing difficult operations, and table repairs are true works of art, that only they can possibly comprehend!.."Polished turd" remarks are typical of their efforts at putting others down!..Thats about the extent of their descriptive vocabulary!
PS.. Thank God, they could never get a job working on airplanes!..:wink:

Do YOU know how to work on an airplane, if not, what qualifies YOU to say that someone who works on pool tables couldn't have taken up the airplane mechanic trade in the first place and turned out to be a great mechanic on them? Yeah, I know, working group on pool tables is NOT like building a rocket ship to the moon, but once again....what would you know about rocket science, you're an old, broken down pool player....LOL

Now what you could be doing is preaching to all the younger pool players today to help them smart choices in life while they're young enough to still have a chance to do so, because if the don't, they run the risk of turning into old, grumpy, can't make a ball, drinking the rest of their remaining years away....wasting into nothing....pool players. Now from what I hear, you'd be a great spokes person for that, because you can take work on airplanes OR build rockets hips to the moon....either!
Never scared me a bit, actually kind of made me feel a little sick to tell you the truth. I've spent years trying to make people aware of what bad work is by showing good work to compare it to. I'm the first to admit it's a crap shoot trying to find a good table mechanic to perform the work, and I've provided enough information out there for some people to collect that info and do the work them selves, because their options to hire someone stunk. I've always been trying to move this industry forward in a positive way....and then you come along, along with the OP and show the world....you don't need tables done right, who cares what the end result is....just as long as it didn't cost me much money. Couldn't you have at least....given a better example....I would have expected more out of someone like you as you're always trying to belittle my work every chance you get....and then you show off some shit work....and don't say it's OK....because you saved some money....WOW.
Old..yes, Grumpy..yes, Drinker..yes!..But I can honestly say, I'm happy I never had to brag about how good I was at what I did, which seems to be the ONLY thing you ever do?..BTW, I can still put my thoughts together, better than someone like you, who is a lot younger than me!..Now, could you please explain your last sentence, so it makes, at least some tiny bit of sense, to anyone but you? :sorry:
Thank You,

:thumbup:
Fast Eddie once said if your the best at some thing the money comes easy! (Paraphrased) so I guess RKC can retire in his million dollar mansion or at least hook his van up to one since he's clearly the best! I quit responding to this nonsense and I'm truly amazed at the lack of class that Glenn has! For god sakes it's a pool table! Let it go! Close this thread down!!!!!!

Who ever told you I HAVE to keep working on pool tables for my living.....lied to you. I work on pool tables because I DON'T want to end up sitting around hating the world because I'm to OLD to do jack shit anymore, so I guess I'll be working on pool tables for the rest of my life....and loving every minute of life!
You won't be working on mine!
I bought a 9 foot table and ended up setting it up myself, with money being one of the major factors in that decision, and I have no regrets. RKC's guide to leveling 3 piece slate worked like a charm (Sticky thread in table mechanics section).
I bought the RKC Simonis dvd set for bed and rail cloth installation, watched them a couple of times, then got started. I played the DVDs as I did the installation, watching a section, then Pausing the dvd to complete each part, step by step. The bed cloth was really not that bad. The rails were a little tricky, but I went slow, and was able to figure it out. The Simonis 860 on my table came out perfect. The dvd really is worth the money, it shows exactly how to properly stretch any worsted wool cloth.
Table covering took me about 6 hours the first time because I went really slow to ensure no mistakes, and I was by myself. I'm sure it will go quicker the next time. If I can do it, I'm pretty confident anyone can as long as they follow the video and take there time...
I see the RKC table setup guide are in seperate DOC files. Has anyone merge them into a single PDF?
Ever make it to Connecticut, RKC?
Its a shame you don't you realize, if you were a little more capable and efficient, it wouldn't take you nine weeks, to do a two day job!
..Then you might have a prayer of getting caught up! :grin:PS..I wouldn't wait 4 years for Jennifer Aniston to beg me to marry her and give me 1/2 her net worth (400Mil) ..But thats just the way I roll!..:wink:
