As its been said, better late than never. A lot of things have disrupted my life and turned it upside down over the last 2 years, but I'm finally starting to get caught up. I sure appreciate Mike and Larry's patience and understanding of what I've gone through with the death of my son and then my mother, I'm finally coming back around.
This is Mikes GC, 4" corner pockets & 4 1/2" side pockets. Brunswick SuperSpeed cushions, GC4 drop pockets.

Nice work.

I got used to 4.5 inch pockets on my table very quickly. Wish I'd gone 4.25 in the corners...4 inch is snug. Great 1 pocket table. Owner will be a beast on house tables.

Larry's GC however, was a whole different challenge. His table has Artemis K55 cushions, 4 1/2" corner pockets, 5" side pockets, everything else is exactly the same as Mikes GC as far as the rebuild goes, only....I had to make Larry's table movable anytime he wanted to play pool as its in a one car garage and he parks his car indoors every night. It was a challenge, but it was a fun test of my skills and I think I did ok...LOL he can pull his car out now, roll his table in place, press the foot release on the jack, lowering the table right on the marks where it goes on the floor....and play pool on a perfectly level table. Foot peddle raise the table up, push it back in place....and pull his car in for the night.

Beautiful job, RKC.
Those metal trim pieces around the pockets. I've never seen that type finish. :)

I agree with you're thought... 4.25 corner and 4.5 side pockets are what I believe should be minimums. Any smaller IMO just about takes cheating the pocket or using a slight bit of rail out of the game which to me are essential part of it. I understand that the angle the insides are cut help with pocket drop but still those corners of the cushions being that close is just too much torture when you're trying to get in stroke... It's good for Mike though. ;):smile:

I ain't playin' no one pocket on THAT table...lol

How did you achieve the deep shelf on the GC slate Glen?

Just sort of found a set of slates laying around? Hmmm......

I'm not sure the ten ball in that photo can be shot down the rail and get whitey out of the jaws afterwards.

Very nice!

Very nice work. Wish there was some one in Alaska that could tighten up the pockets on my old Rebco.
