    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    Great question! The Brunswick Ventura tables at the Cafe are really a "home style furniture table" meaning, they use a #6 iron over a leather net pocket. Due to the factory drilled holes in the rails, which accept the ear of the number 6 iron, the pocket sits slightly low. This causes the...

    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    Glen, Yes it's been five years now since the DVDs were produced! With thousands of copies being sold, it shocks me that so few mechanics are using the indexing, pocket slacking, or the rectangular techniques demonstrated in the bed cloth DVD. Furthermore, the rail recovery work you demonstrated...

    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    One other point. If the owner of the pool room had been satisfied with the work being performed by the previous company, he would not have solicited us to come in and do the recovery and cushion work. The work at the Cafe is very typical of most of the service work we see in the field. With...

    How tight is too tight for cloth?

    Hi, That is my guy Josh doing the work on the bed cloths. He is installing the cloth to the correct index specified in the Simonis DVDs which Glen and I produced five years ago. To answer your question, the cloth is NOT to to tight. It is installed in a rectangular pattern, measured and...

    My post was NOT a bashing of Glen sir! Glen and I are friends and business partners. I just want to clarify the point that, in the production of the DVDs the bed cloths were installed with traditional attachment processes (my process using Glen's index/pocket closing) As Glen explained...
