    Gold Crown Cue Rack L Brackets?

    Where are the L brackets supposed to be mounted on the GC Cue Racks. Classic Billiards sells them and they have 4 pictured. I just finish restoring my cue rack but cannot make sense as to where they would go? Are they for the structural integrity or to mount to a wall? Seems like brass would be...

    Finally finished! Have just a couple small details to add like the rack rail, nameplate and a sticker but have played on it now since last night and it is very enjoyable. Thanks to everyone on this forum that helped! I'll get those rails re-built down the road if things go bad. Regards, JC Lane

    Went well, they didn't have any issues getting the table level or applying the felt. Nothing extra required, simply stapled, stretched and stapled until they were done. The leveled the base frame first by adjusting the feet then leveled the slate using wood shims. Of course not sure how risky...

    Just trying to make it look like others I’ve seen that I thought were very appealing on here. It’s somewhat of a mixture of parts anyway. 1 of the 4 feet is lighter weight casting than the other 3. It’s also an 1/8” diameter smaller. Pretty sure one of the three slates is a replacement since it...

    Been talking with Jack and he shared lots of his work examples. Wow! Waiting to see if these guys can make this work or not? If not, then I'll have to ship these things to Indiana, have Jack do his magic then beg for forgiveness from my wife. Also learned that I have less expensive rubber...

    Thanks, I live in Fort Worth, Texas. Yeah those look way better than mine. Honestly I didn't know if mine were bad or not since I hadn't seen what any rail looks like before. But now, comparing them to yours it is not good. Dallas Billiard Pros are handling the assembly, leveling and felt today...

    They are coming to recover the rails and slate today after they get it level. Hopefully, they don't have issues.

    I am worried about the subrails and if they "need" to be replaced. They look pretty chewed up to me but that may be normal for an old table, not sure. That is definitely beyond my abilities. I would love to get those done and new formica but I have no idea who does that work and how expensive it...

    Well I started to remove the felt on the rails to clean them better but then felt I was over my head if I started breaking stuff. Then I realized that I hired a pro to recover them so I just left the old felt on. I used a orbital buffer and some cutting compound to polish out the scratches in...
