I would love to! But, the fee to get me there would be very unrealistic. From what I was told by Nick, Ted, and John, at Brunswick, they are planning to have the ability to deliver the tables on a cart, similar to how Diamond transports/installs. If that is truly the case, you wouldn't...

The ball return on the Gold Crown VII is one of the quietest on the market. Also, the majority of people that are buying 9' tournament tables are either tournament players or league players.... A large number of those players tend to like the logos, and will even spend extra money to have them...

$12,500, has been the unofficial price, directly from Nick Baron, President of Brunswick Billiards

I would dare say that I can get a table playing pretty decent, with a good 4' carpenter's level... However, I can do a MUCH better job, with 8-9 Starrett 98-12's. The problem with using a carpenter's level, is that you can't see the variations in flatness of the slate. Also, the precision of...

Thanks for the plug! We don't currently ship rails. We just simply have too much local work to focus on. However, I'm sure that Mark or Jack would be happy to take on the work.

This is wildly incorrect

~$500 - Disassemble ~$1500-2000 - Crate slates and transport ~$1200-1400 - Assemble with new Simonis All total, you could be into it for $3500-4000 Or, sell it for ~$2000, and buy a different one for $5500 - delivered and installed, with new Simonis. It's a net of -$3500. In fact, you might...

I used to use that style, but it was cumbersome to change the blades. This style is much easier to use. Especially, once you sand the protrusions off from the blade surface. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-4-in-Metal-Wall-Scraper-WPS-HUS/310955143

Slocum, 3M-10, or Parabond M250. I use Slocum exclusively, but I have experience with the others. I've never had any issues at all, when installing Teflon coated cloth. The glue still wicks into the fibers of the cloth. Because you are applying it to both bonding surfaces, it bonds to itself...

I suppose the better question is: How are you measuring this level of precision? It is not uncommon for slate to not be perfectly flat, despite being precision ground. This is due to many factors. That said, you can span a straight edge across the entire surface, and take some readings from your...

Put some foam inside the cabinet. Some people have mentioned even using old blankets or sleeping bags.

Is it actually red? Or is it orange? I could understand if it were orange, as it would match everything else.... Still ugly as sin, but it would make sense.... Red is a definite 'NO', for me.

Razor blades are a bit too flimsy, and will easily dig into the slate... Utility blades are better. Toluene is outstanding for removing glue build-up, but it is very toxic, much like Xylene... For thick stuff, you can use an oscillating multi-tool, with a scraper blade

I've read through this no less than 6 times, and I cannot understand what it is that you are trying to say.
