well, a local advertised a "Brunswick" pool table for sale but it turned to be an American Heritage almost identical to the table i just sold. that deal worked out very well because i sold the pool cues that came with the table for what i paid for the table ($75.00) and then i sold it for $600.00 after some guy reneged on his $100.00 deposit. so i made $600.00 despite the fact that i put cloth on it. this new table that i just looked at is the same thing i had except it has 'fancy' claw feet. we agreed on $125.00 so i can't really lose and it will tide me over until i get a better table.
My AH played very well however BUT that "magna board" was not holding the slate screws and after just a few weeks a couple began inching out. i knew that it was going to be a problem because all of the holes stripped-out upon assembly so i gooped them up with wood shim pieces and carpenters glue. most held but some did not.
so my question is: what's the best way to modify the magnaboard so that the slate screws hold fast? i thought about drilling them out and putting in dowels but there must be a faster way.
ok, never mind... i'll just use machine screws.
