I have some pics but I will post them later, I'm just too lazy to get them off my phone and resize tonight. I took my time and everything is going well.
The corner pockets are all faced and pretty. I used some info on the forums here,
@LCCS said he dipped a 5" blade in soapy water to trim, that worked well. I dipped a utility knife in soapy water and trimmed the cushions close to size. 3/8" is kind of a pain to trim but I got it done. I used a file wrapped in 80 grit sandpaper (thanks
@realkingcobra for suggesting that in your subrail post). I got them looking really nice. I decided to just put the pockets on to see how it looked. 4 3/8" looks pretty scary, but I assembled a corner and tried a few balls (no cloth) and it plays much more forgiving than 5" circus pockets. I was so annoyed by the crazy way the pockets rejected well hit balls that I had basically stopped practicing.
I did something dumb... I had a set of 1/4" facings also and thought it would be good to put them on the side pockets... bad idea, they look ridiculous. I plan on taking the 1/4" off tomorrow and putting 3/8" on. Luckily I had only finished one so no big deal. I might as well make the whole table equally scary. I didn't realize it, but it's pretty standard for sides to have an opening 1/2" larger than the corners.
I am going to have to assemble the rails and measure pocket openings to make sure they are the same, though they should be close as I only took off enough material on the facings to just get rid of any shiny rubber at the mouth of the pocket. I did notice that the angles are around a little over 141, though I set them to be 141. I'm guessing there is some play in my table saw, so I'll try to get them closer to 141 tomorrow.
