    Gold Crown V restore

    The Formica floating on top of the dowels. I've learnt to always over cut the Formica then simply trim the Formica to the rails. The Formica gets trimmed off using 80 grit stuck to a piece of alloy. That angle at the end of the alloy allows me to go get in nice and close. I would have thought...

    Formica gets removed easily using a heat gun Someone has left writing under the Formica. I have no idea what it says. Rails get completely stripped I made up a template for the rail sights. So when the Formica is installed I know exactly where the sights should be. Formica getting cut...

    Gold Crown V restore

    Filtering the paint with my filtering system. Before attaching the strecher panel to the leg suports, I'll apply some bees wax the strecher panel where it meets the leg supports so that everything can be seperated without pulling the paint off. That frame looks pretty sick in black...

    This GC originally came out of a pool hall which I removed and installed for a client. I ended up purchasing the table as he was unable to sell it and he was about to move house. It was is quite good condition over all. So I started heating up the timber stain with a heat gun and scraping the...

    Simonis woes

    Hi all, So I really didn't want to do this again however, for the sake of proof I unstapled around 1/4 of the rail. It's quite hard to photograph however what your looking at is the underside of the cloth. You can see it's pretty normal for the underside of the cloth which proves the cloth was...
