Hi Glenn, thanks for taking an interest. The dream is still alive The year 2022 was not a productive year. Some health issues and a lack of time and facilities have played a big role in the stand still of this project. Also I spend over 10,000$ in house and garden renovations to have the space...

I did some thinking, designing and writing about the topic of shimming. Maybe you find it interesting. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/dreaming-of-and-designing-my-own-pool-table.533145/#post-7008985

I recently purchased a V10. Only when stroking, my chalk is on the rail. All the rest of the time I have it in my hand. Before, I used Predator hexagonal which made my hands very dirty. And so was my shaft. By now, I played 3 times with the V10 and can honestly say, my hands are way less dirty...

Hi Jean, the most basic information to design my pooltable are the dimensions of the slate and the recommended equipment specifications from the WPA This technical drawing of a 9' slate can be found on Dynamic Billiards Germany. Dimensions in mm. I don't think that slates of other...

Please, elaborate I'm a spunge for this kind of knowledge

I'm no mechanic in any way, but I took on the project to design and built my own table. I love these Tech Talks So I'll give it a try here's my 2 cents: Point 1 The rubber on the cushion has a slight downwards angle to the point where the OB makes contact Point 2 When an OB hits the cushion of...

Recently there has been a couple of European tournaments where they put 3 players at the table. Swapping the balls from a spotted white/yellow and a solid red to spotted white/yellow/orange, with each player has its color to play with. So for a club tournament, each available table can have 3...

This doesn't look very nice to me ... :eek:

No, my table is built from scratch. the rails basically consist of 18mm rubberwood pannel with a top of 28mm solid oak = a total of 46mm. There will be cuts and slots and grooves and angles and ... here is a picture of the rail glue up. These babies are heavy. enjoy pool

so, here's a little sketch of these height dimensions 1 7/16 inch = 36.50 mm 1 11/16 inch = 42.90 mm The thickness of my naked, glued up rail = 46 mm I plan on routing a little curve just something like the profile in this picture And like @The_JV says, with these dimensions and upon arrival...

The difficulty in drawing/designing my rails with perfect dimensions is the lack of precise details on the rails. Plus, they are not a perfect equilateral triangle. An earlier post of RKC in another topic: To get the maximum play ability of the K55 cushions, the back height of the cushions...

Additional graphics found online: I am confused by these first 3 pictures: with an angled placement (like the 1st picture) there should be a difference between height of the cushion and the size of that side of the cushion (second picture). It's pretty clear that the internet provides...

Hey, looking forward to your input. Last year I already started a thread with this topic: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/what-angle-for-rubber-cushions.536345/ Maybe you can add your knowledge to that thread. thx,

it pays to read all threads and comments... 😉

Wow, THANKS Out of nowhere comes some of the most valuable info I now found on the cushion placement. Because I could not find the full dimensions on cushions and how to install them, I ordered them (still awaiting delivery) to match and measure on my rails to get the perfect height (with an...

This is unbelievably beautiful and educational ... thanks for sharing

I'm exhausted, just want to put this up before taking a shower and enjoying an evening with drinks and appetizers. Today, I had the opportunity to use a professional setup at a carpenter's workplace. It started with him suggesting to use his glue clamping equipment. So, I did I've got my 10'...

So last night I put some supports under my spare door and today I started preparations for cutting the slots 1. some pieces of wood aligned for the exact width of the legpieces 2. for a total of 4 legpieces = 1 complete leg to be handled in one pass 3. some not-perfect cuts will be dealt...

to all gentle(wo)men on this forum, reading posts in my topic. I appreciate posts of an educational nature, may be critisizing, may be supporting. Even a little off topic, I don't mind, as long as we get back on track. But I already know how to swear, how to curse and how to push people...

Question for the experienced wood workers. I'll use my circular saw with a diy track saw guide for cutting the taper. I can choose cutting the 45°angle, cut-off is on the 135° side of the blade or cutting the 135°, with the cut-off on the 45° side of the blade Any suggestions? I think cutting...
