    Polishing a Gold Crown

    Thanks Jay, appreciate the offer! Matt was accidentally given a set of aprons that went on a 10' GC, and we didn't realize they were the wrong size until we were actually assembling the table. Matt will be able to return the aprons to Ed Hiller and get the right ones.

    Two questions, GCIII if I may ...

    If you're mad at your money, get Artemis Intercontinental #66, which will set you back around $300. If you want the best bang for your buck get some Diamond K55 cushions. They are good quality and will work well on your GCIII! I also would recommend Jay Spielberg, one of the best IMO :thumbup:

    You should get at least 4.5" of stretch side to side with Pro Form on 8' table. I have found that the green cloth stretches more than burgundy FWIW.

    "Diamondized" Gold Crown II

    I cut the cushions with a razor knife and then use a sanding disc to finish off the ends.

    "Diamondized" Gold Crown II

    I recently had the pleasure of setting up a Gold Crown II for fellow AZ member "Snipershot". Joe requested 4.5" corners, 5" sides, and wanted the table "Diamondized". In other words, changing the corner pocket angles to 141 deg. with 15 deg. down angle, and side pockets at 102 deg. I also...

    Snipershot is good people! I'd like to thank Joe & son for being such a hospitable host to myself and my helper, Todd. He treated us to pizza and cold beer along with breaking the seal on a 20 year old bottle of Crown Royal to celebrate the grand opening of the man cave! He has a great...

    Pictures of disassembled GCi or ii? Moving advice?

    Matt, Make sure there is room in the truck bed for the slate to sit flat. Hopefully the trailer hitch wont be in the way. Load the slate first. You can stack the 3 pieces together but be careful when you slide them against each other. Make sure there are no staples, screws, etc. protruding...

    Pocket liners

    Well, it doesn't specifically need to be rail cloth, just a piece big enough to cover the inside of the pocket to prevent the ball marks. Any kind of black fabric (or whatever color matches the pocket) would do the job, the goal here is to simply install a barrier between the ball and the...

    Pocket liners

    Get a piece of black rail cloth and line the pocket with it. You can probably use spray adhesive.
