What is bfe???I live in bfe so market is low and set your price is what I'm thinking. I'll try anything once if it doesn't play well I'll have someone refelt it they are reasonable on setup and felting just the moving adds 90% of the quotes

I've watched Glen do several tables with 23 or so machinists levels on them at the same time and he did a bang up job. I've also done tables for myself with a 4 ft carpenters level. I tested the result afterwards the same way Glen did, by rolling balls on the surface, that is the true test and the only thing that really matters in the end.Regular digital and bubble levels are not even close to being accurate enough for a pool table. I also do chassis work and only use levels as a reference. You can lay out parallel bars according to your level but if you eyeball them may not even be close to parallel with each other. I will trust a laser beam and a ruler long before a standard level.
This thread has some good info in it. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/houston-tx-or-texas-high-end-mechanic.547275/#post-7373974After watching some videos there is absolutely no reason I don't think I couldn't do it myself. Even the leveling of the slates doesn't look hard. Only thing I don't have access too is sealer for the slates. That's what scared me the most was leveling and sealing.
Now I don't have a machinist level but I do have 6 foot digital and bubble levels. As well as 2 foot bubble and digital from doing chassis work on cars.
I'll still update with the 2 others quotes.

Most people use Bondo and recommend against beeswax.Grabbed 4 oz of beeswax. Hopefully it's enough if not rest will be here next week. Got a mercury ultra cloth on the way. Hopefully be up and going by next weekend
Use the Bondo. Stuff small pieces of cardboard in the screw holes before you fill them. If the holes aren't going to be in the field of play, don't fill them. Beeswax was the choice 80 years ago, kinda like coal was the choice to heat your home. Bondo is superior in every way.Got it tore down. Move the rest Friday hopefully. Had bondo on it. So work on cleaning that off. What a pain in the but chipping the holes out. Rather crap job to imho hardly any in the actual seam.
Grabbed some wax and bondo. See what I decide. Got access to a machinist level so I'm good to go. Just waiting on felt after I get the rest of the table here
450-1200Trying to decide if I want to hire it moved or do it myself but hire it leveled etc.
Connelly ventana. If that matters. The local places to get a quote don't open until Wednesday.
Thanks
A good measle cue ball tells a lot but it don't matter much if the cloth isn't stretch right.Got the table home and setup. Bonus is the
Guy thought it was a 7 foot table but it's 8 footer. Decided on using wax as I'm hoping to move table from garage into the main room in a year when my puppies get older. Still in the chew phase. Threw the old cloth on since I had ordered based on a 7 foot table. Put just a few staples in just so I could mess around.
It's nice to have a home table now. I cam actually get better and try things. Need to get a new cueball with dots as I can't always tell if the input I'm doing is working unless it's extremely.
What cloth you getting?The cloth stretch deff isn't right. Just wanted to mess around for the week. Going to call seyberts in the morning and order 8 foot cloth and see about returning the 7 foot when it shows up.
Championship mercury ulta electric blue. Didnt want to go all out as its my first time. Learn from my mistakes and upgrade later to a better clothWhat cloth you getting?
