Thanks vphook, time to get rid of the lint roller. Great website and info... :smile:

I found this lint roller at the store, It's about 10"wide and works great. Gets anything on the table including the chalk. When it gets less sticky I tear off the sheet and it's ready to go again... I brush the table now and then but use this everytime I play... Works great...Made by Evercare...

I used clear shellac when I did my table. Along with a magnifying glass strapped to my head and a fine brush. I did 2 coats to all the ivory site (old piano keys I had) and to all the white holly inlay on the table. Worked great and not any bleeding of the stain into the ivory or inlay. Good luck…

When I restored my old Brunswick I asked a lot of questions at the local wood shops. I was lucky and had a Woodcraft store 20 minutes away. They were great and I have found that most stores like that are that way. Good luck...:smile:

When I stained my rails I painted the ivory sites I put in with shellac... Stain wiped right off... Not sure about paint....

Looking GOOD!!!!!!!!

All I did was wet the corners where they fold over the front of the iron. Didn't need much water to be able to work the leather and sew them up. The leather streached pretty easy... Try searching online and see what you can find for "tooling leather". I had no problems with the dye. And putting...

Looks like the pocket is tipped down at the back and is high the front. Seems to be a slit in the leather at the back. If the back of the iron is to low the balls don't hit the downward angle and hit the edge of it instead. Right about where the rip is and pop back out. Try leveling out the...

I bought some of their pockets and was surprised to see that they used hot glued and rivets to hold them onto the irons. I swapped them over to the original irons I had with the table. Streched them using some water to make them fit better, trimmed them up and hand stiched them like they did in...

Well, I'm no expert like some of the people here but Bondo works well for me. That's what I've used on the few tables I've done for myself and never had a problem. Make sure the slates are tight together, spread the Bondo into the seam and use a razor blade to scrape off the extra just before it...

Nice tables!!! Nothing like an Antique Brunswick!!!!!!!!!!

Scotch-Grip name changed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From an earlier post when I was looking for the right glue.... After all of your recomendations to use Scotch-Grip I went to a local supplier and found out that the name is now changing...

I have 6 irons from Classic Billiards that were on their pockets when I bought them. I put the leather on my original irons. I have no idea if these are any better than what you have, or what they are worth. Anyone know if these are any better and what they're worth??? Make me an offer and...

Oldroller, Found this list on the web. Should give you an idea of what it weighs... http://www.ardesit.it/en/biliardo3e5.php

I did that to a table 10 years ago but it wasn't really a liner. It was a cheap Imperial table with the slate sitting on 4 supports. All I did was glue some 3/4 x 2 poplar around the outside so I could staple to it. Drilled holes for the rail bolts and cut out the pockets after it was on. Didn't...

Yeah, I've had this set of Centennials for years. Nicely yellowed and look great on the table. I went with 760 because I had it on my other table and really liked it. As far as new pockets go, I'll be waiting on that. Need to finish the basement first!!!

You were right, some of the featherstrips are high... But not anymore... Thanks....

Thanks Pool School... The feather strips are flush with the rail. It just looks funny in the picture. I'll double check them when I get back in town... some day... The cushions are Champion Tour Edition K55 profile, the cloth is Simonis #760. The pockets were bought on line at Clasic...

before picture Thanks!!! Thought I'd add a before picture....
