Redid everything on my table, not happy with how the rails turned out. Does anyone have a suggestion as to getting just rail sections of 860 in tournament blue for a 4.5 x.9. Thanks

Lights up. Pool room is complete until I put in the bar.

Well, they've been doing it for years. My 1950ish sportsman had c-f all over the inside of the rails and skirts...never said sportsman any where...I'd assume it's just an internal model designation.

Thank you.

That's exactly what it took....which was a bit nerve wracking to say the least. I built a mock up rail out of a 2x6 and plywood to get the correct rail height, and then ran it through until I got the angle that I was happy with (which I don't recall what that was off the top of my head.) I was...

This is the repair to the cut rail.

Mine weren't the figure 8, Just the single round five screw type. There was a decent amount of water damage to two rails, so a few of them were pulled, cleaned and rotated to new screw holes. As far as the skill saw cut, I wasn't too happy with it. I'll add a picture tonight, but I filled it...

And where it started: I had posted a couple of times over the past few months of my sportsman project. Played my first game on Christmas Eve. Table is completely rebuilt. Swapped the Formica skirts for hard wood, completely refinished every piece of wood on it. I re profiled the rails to...

Super glue was the absolute ticket....I scraped the entire area that was coming up, sanded that smooth, put on the glue and sanded again...pretty sure I won't have to bondo at all...the pieces are so thin, the glue sealed and filled them. Thanks for the help. Edit... My two cents on all of...

This is where the surface seems to be flaking from.....nothing that I don't feel that I can't repair with a bit of time.

That "strip" that's flaking runs parallel to the side of the middle piece. If you look in the second picture, you can see the line that it's on extending to the end of the table starting around the first slate bolt near the corner pocket.

Well, it's heavy as hell....that piece that's chipped...it seems like there's a top coat flaking off in that piece...can I still sand and fill that? Edit...when did they start using brunstone?

Ya, I'm happy with the finish....used Minwax Walnut stain, then rubbed it with Tru Oil. Tournament blue Simonis is going on it. I'll put a thread together when it's done. I got lucky in that it was an early one. The rails are solid wood, not a laminate. From what I found, it was gumwood...

So I'm restoring an early Brunswick sportsman. Wood work and rails are all done. Set the slates tonight, and I noticed that some of the water damage that I dealt with in the wood also transferred to one piece of the slate. My thoughts are to sand the slate flat where the damage is to the...

Every one. The staple job around all of the pockets looked decent though.
