easy stuff for real mechs. our rule is if i can get in so does the table. beleive it or not but 5 flights, tight staircase, no elevators and 9' inch and a quarter do exist...

your estimation is about right. sorry for luring you into doing it yourself. it does look good on your pic though. you give us mechs credit for our work because we might tend to forget how hard it really is...

if you are willing to try , you just got the right table for doing so. a one inch three piece slates with backing is a lot harder to cover. if you don't tight it enough, it's a lot easier to take the rails off and stretch it some more. i say go ahead , let us know how it turned, and good luck.

sorry Pat.being a french canadian ,i might not always use the right figures of speech... what i meant is i saw on the threads what you can do and i just assumed that you already know...no disrespect intended. As far as using wedges for leveling,my experience tells me it is wrong. They should be...

the frame is flat,so are the slates...wedges are not...you get it.

correcting a saggy frame with wedges is if you ask me one of the worst thing to do...

doesn't look that good to me...leveling after beeswaxing the seams is asking for trouble.

regular bees wax. some people melt it on and scrape it but i prefer to melt and "weld". see it on the how its made billiard table on youtube
