Hey guys, I came across a job yesterday where some hack "mechanic" replaced the bumpers on a table and glued them on just enough too high for the edge to show through the cloth. The customer called me to come and repair them so the line didn't show. Just wondered, what creative ideas some...

Looks sharp. That would also look good with other colors shaded dark to light. Greens, violets, blues,etc.

I was at Carolina Custom's shop a couple of weeks ago and saw they had a small Jet bench top drum sander. Anyone here have one in your shop and what are some of the uses for it. They are a lil pricey but seem like they would be great for getting your inlay strips to exact size/thickness for trim...

Table is still looking for a new home :thumbup:

back up top

:cool: good luck with your sale.

bump.........still looking for a double diamond

We use the Duo-Fast electric but they also have a really powerful and light weight pneumatic model too. (though pretty pricey) My first electric Duo lasted 10 yrs before the first rebuild. We keep all the spare parts. They are simple to rebuild right on the jobsight if you have problems.

I use 1/4" for cloth if the backing is good and 3/8" for pockets

IMO.......bondo is for cars, NOT for pool tables. Nothing but unnessary aggravation on a pool table. Beeswax works great when used properly. I've used it for almost 20 yrs with no problem.

Prefer 12'. A 10' was fine, I thought, until I got my 12'.

Hard to beat ol' Chris for being dependable, honest and helpful. He'll never steer you wrong. Todd Shultz is also a really great guy to deal with. :thumbup:

Thanks guys. It really is an incredible built table. I've never seen one built like this before.

AWESOME machine! If I only was familiar with cnc. Training included? I'd love to see a video of this beauty working!

Yes, Performax will do fine too if someone has one. Actually that's what they have at Carolina Custom now that I think about it. Just need something small (bench top) that sands down to 1/32" preferrably.

I'm looking to buy a Jet model 10-20 drum/thickness sander used but good condition. If you or anyone you know has one sitting around not being used anymore please let me know. Thanks!

Bump......still available

ABS seems a bit "soft" to me too. Especially when standing and it warms up a little.

nice job :thumbup: Is that a Brianna taper shaper?

Hang in there pal. No one here started out a pro. Determination def pays off though. Ingenuity now will def make you appreciate and understand a lathe much more in time when it comes. Meantime, be creative and most of all HAVE FUN. :thumbup:
