I agree with Dartman. You can fix what you have. Sharp razor knife. Don't cut your thumb. Take it easy. Julio

I can help here. 2 furniture dollys, they can even be the small ones but the bigger ones are better.. 2 long ratchet straps, 2 guys and a trailer. That's all you need... well and more straps to strap it down once it's on the trailer. Oh, and a jack, small scissor jack is fine. Put the jack...

Masking tape is the way to tighten them up if they are loose. A small sharp hand plane is the way to thin them out if they are too tight. Lay out a strip of masking tape and lay the featherstrip on it nice and centered, no wrinkles or creases. Fold the tape around the front and back of the...

Hi everybody. I thought I would answer this as I know Kerry personally and have some insight. Kerry is retiring and in the process of transferring ownership of the business. It is being move from New Mexico to North Carolina. That is why it has seemed to be out of business as of late. They...

Well that was dumb. I think my pics are all way too big and I need to fix that. Maybe tomorrow. Sorry.

Finished the table. Thought I would show my work Here's some pics of the table that was in question. I was pretty pleased with the work. I ended up making all new barrel nuts for it with modern threads, and drilled and tapped the ends of modern bolts so I could attach the rosettes. I was...

Antique tables, How much is too much? NOW WITH PICS Just looking for some thoughts and opinions. I'm working on a pre 1900 Brunswick. Somewhere along the line someone put Monarch Superspeeds on it and the nose is well below 1.25" Ball hop abounds. I pulled the rubber off and the face of...

So, I have a 10' Gold Crown I carom table that needs new rubber. The rubber that is on it is Brunswick Monarch Truspeed. I am assuming this is going to be the same as changing out Monarch Superspeed. The angle of the subrail will need to be reworked as I assume there is no direct replacement...

+1 on Ridgeback rails. Call Kerry. He'll make sure you get the right rails for your table. 575-527-4714

Also.. 3M Super 77 works fine. But... Be careful. Mercury Ultra is very stretchy cloth. You have to spray the glue on the cloth. About 3 coats. Spray the first one light and give it a minute to set up a bit. This creates a little shield to keep the other coats from soaking through. Then...

I'll chime in here in an effort to be helpful. Most tables sag over time. Especially an old Valley bar box. Gravity takes over. If you put levels on it you can get it balanced but the edges will always be high and the center will always be low. The stacked cloth in the center of the center...

Why? What does it?

It is not my intention to hijack this thread but would like to pose more questions as I feel they are in line with this thread. And I would simply like a good in depth understanding. So... First off, it sounds like the whole system works together to make a table play correctly. It is NOT...

Hello. I've done one table with that stuff. You're right, it really doesn't stretch. I will a little, but not much. The only problem I had with it was as I was gluing it down I had to lift it off the table to place it and stick it. It stuck to the table and peeled the paper back off the...

Can folks tell me the different variations of Brunswick Anniversary tables? I've got one I'm about to put some work into but some things are standing out as odd. Oliver L. Briggs & Sons Electric Cushion Fast K-66 One piece side rail, no center pocket casting 2 stretchers between the pedestals...

Yes, they are is business. I think they have a 1 year warranty. I think. Call Kerry. 575-527-4714

I started writing a reply to this and it turned into a 5 page dissertation on why it would be a loss if this forum went away. So.... in short. Please keep posting info. I'm new to the business but am not going anywhere. The trolls suck, it's true. There is not a lot of resource out there...

Why would a slate break apart on it's own? Just the facts... Antique Brunswick. T-rail side bolt. About 100 years old. 10' pocket table. Original slates. This table is in a high end home and was not set up by a hack. The slates were in very good shape when last recovered and set up, I...

If the rails on a Gold Crown I has good Monarch Super Speeds on it and the rubber is not coming loose is there any good reason to change it? Rubber is still soft and glued on well. Table is going into a home that just wants to have some fun with a decent table to play on. Thanks. Julio
