It’s going to be much tougher doing that on a Valley. Glen did his repair on a 1” thick slate, maybe even a bit thicker, but trying that on 3/4” slate will be even more challenging in my opinion. I think you would be better off just replacing the slate.

1 pc small table slates are common.
Might as well find a throw-away pool table and salvage the slate.

I was trying to take it out,
just lifted it to sit on the rail, went to the other side to lift that side up and get a 2x4 under there and the other end slipped down to the bed

well there is one for sure slate available for me
, possibly a few others around available

mine i will take to work and give the glue a try
i work in a machine shop, i can put 246 blocks on the table, itll be level af off the bat, 246 123 blocks are ground to .001 tolerances for setups,

and see how it does after super glue and bondo
, could be a fair replacement for future tables just seems like its worth a try to make it work

ugh theres ages of glue scum to get off first around the edges, no wonder it cant level right

It was broken before and most likely already cracked from the age and plopping it around like movers do often
At least I didn't get that brand new simonis on it only to have it crack while putting it back in there
