When I first started posting here on AZB, it was at the request of several people in the business. My first 5 posts were questions for anyone to answer, about working on pool tables. After enough time had passed, and everyone who tried to answer them, it gave me a pretty good in depth look into the knowledge of the mechanics working on pool tables that were posting here. I finally had to answer my own questions, must to the delight of all those that tried to answer them already. The answers were short and sweet, but made so much since, since then I know for sure many of the mechanics who post here, still use my tricks today.
One of my first questions was how do you sand the facings flush to the cushions and rails to perfection without wasting a lot of time. Today, I think every table mechanic owns the Makita 1 1/8th model 9031 belt sander, but at the time....no one had even heard of them.
