    Brendan Crockett, Your Rails Are Ready.

    Now I'm more impressed than ever! I thought Glen sent you the tooling and jigs. If that is the work you do free hand all I can say is WOW!!! I do my liners on a table saw with a 60 tooth blade and a zero clearance blade insert and it's not as clean as what you pictured. Once again, very nice...

    Best Pro Stroke?

    The Miz has my vote for overall "stroke". Mike Massey for power is hard to beat. Buddy Hall as the most enjoyable to watch, so smoooooth.

    Brendan Crockett, Your Rails Are Ready.

    Donny, Great work as always, but the prep work on the liners is the best I've ever seen!!! Glen mentioned a new tooling setup for this purpose, it's obviously the stone cold NUTS. Not taking anything away from your always perfect work, but this is really gorgeous prep on those liners absolute...

    Why pool table rails are made wrong?

    John. You have to stop taking the things said in this forum personally! Part of being a leader or innovator is the ability to take criticism. When people disagree with your ideas or methods arguing in the defense of them is natural. Defending your character for proposing them is futile and...

    Why pool table rails are made wrong?

    I couldn't agree more!

    Table Leveling Standards

    When you are lapping the slate surface, are you working to flat or to level? How do accommodate the seams? Are you bringing the highs down to the lowest point or are you filling the low spots to the high ones? I've never had much luck re leveling bad slates, I could never get a consistent...

    Table Leveling Standards

    Whole wheat, toasted, with Jiff chunky, Welches grape jelly, crust trimmed. I always put the jelly on the top side of the bread...It keeps the counters cleaner that way...:grin-square:

    Table Leveling Standards

    Very well said Rob! The issue OTLB brings up here, is if you can measure the slate from a point of contact with the frame (edges, center seam, and back bone) with a machinist level, you can then manipulate that level with shims, screw pressure even a bottle jack and a strap. Where do you place...

    I do appreciate the time you took from your day John. I'm looking forward to trying the rail wafers. Servicing the niche market with a viable solution, equals customer retention! Thanks Again Jay

    Table Leveling Standards

    Mark, If only it were true. Unfortunately the are many long standing company's and individual mechanics that continue to "slash and burn" their way through commercial and residential pool tables, contending they did a great job. This will only change when the buying public demands the...

    Table Leveling Standards

    Just for the record, I'm using the word "standard" defined as a technical standard, rather than a de-facto standard. Sorry for any confusion. Jay

    Table Leveling Standards

    Rob, I have not adopted the low low leveling system for my three piece slate tables. I find it very time consuming. The more traditional length, width, center to edge system is still working fine, with good consistent results. If I'm able to spend more field time with Glen I may reconsider the...
