a great new table buying video guide

For basic information, this is not bad.
Probably reaaly good for someone who does not play pool but wants to buy a table.
 
I have been playing pool with my buddies for quite a while and was planning on making one ourselves(couple of us are quite the carpenter), to save up some money.....Does anyone have anything useful?
 
this is the same video the Clampets used to fine an eating table with them pot passers & drink holders.
 
I would also talk about width of rails and how that can affect your bridge hand, meaning a furniture table vs a players table with nice thick rails

olhaussen furniture tables for example are difficult to bridge when a cue ball in in the jaws of a pocket, almost a freehand shot is needed.

the back of the pocket can be the very edge of the table or it can have a finished corner
 
Table Buying Guide

While the video and quality of video is quite good, I was disappointed at the lack of Euler's buckling formula being reviewed as the basis for engineered leg design. (just kidding)


Some of the items presented seem like they are designed to steer the buyer toward one manufacturer over another.

(a) Could one argue that four (4) bolts connecting leg pieces are always better than one (1)? (What about the size of the bolt? What about the method is which the connector is pre-tensioned? What about five (5) connectors rather than four (4)?)

(b) Is one-inch (1") slate always better than a thicker slate? What about manufacturing tolerances? What about one (1) piece slate table versus three (3) or four (4) piece slate tables?

(c) Is any felt based solely on weight per area the only item to consider?


I was expecting an explanation to minimum areas for using different sized tables versus cue length, stoke length, etc. (What are the minimum space requirements for a table??)

Also difficult to say the design, aesthetics of the table itself and lighting is not important.
