Good idea! One thing I found when I disassembled the box is that most of the wood is badly dried out showing shrinkage and splits. If my dad were still around he would be trying to re-hydrate the pieces in a steamer.

I did use the dowel method on the upper L-bracket holes and a micro version using toothpicks for the dome-head nail holes for the U-shaped aluminum trim. I had to do surgery on the lower front face board anyway as about one third of the board was worn away like someone spent hours on it with a...

Resolving issue with ball return box and rack/triangle holder. The lower front face and the first underside board where the rack holder attaches required new wood. Although it is not stock I came up with a fix to preclude having the holder being torn off the box in the future. I cut tongue and...

I will be focusing on the cosmetics. Some woodwork, finishing, polishing aluminum, etc. I will definitely be seeking advice or referrals to pros for anything beyond what I know I can manage. I have already realized I need someone with the strength of an Orangutan to move the pieces of slate even...

A few years back I picked up a 9 foot Gold Crown for the ridiculous price of $400. The owners had the table set up in an open carport here in South Florida and every year or two they slapped a coat of paint on it. I think they used a cat as a paintbrush. Unfortunately, I hired a local billiards...
