Good Job! .
I seldom ever do this kind of work anymore, Darren was a good friend of mine that has been waiting on me to get back into Vegas with enough time to work on his table...since last November...LOLPushout said:Wish you could redo the local room's tables. I might actually play there again

LMAO...That's right Brian, as you know...the last table I worked on, is ALWAYS the best table I've ever donenthamix said:
backed up by the thousands I've worked on in the past So now Darren has that LAST table bragging rights

Impressive! Hope I can put you to work soon!
Glen;
That's an awesome job !!! Looks great. Did you get new "brass" corners as well or did you get them refurbished ?
I guess it's not a valid question since the table was in a pretty bad state (cotton rotten and hardened facings) but how does you're friend feel the new table plays? I was thinking on the angle changes you made..
Again, great job. I only wish I had room to put up my GCIII and start working on mine

Naaa, I didn't do anything with the corners on Brian's table, that was something he had done already. I don't get into refinishing tables, just making them play betterNewton said:Glen;

Both owners were kind of unsure of how tight the pockets were at first, but after pocketing balls...I think they both found out that they actually had less rejected balls, even though the pockets were tighter The angles of the corner pockets are very important when it comes to how a table plays. I guess if someone wanted compare these pockets to being shimmed...they could call them triple shimmed, even though I only use one thickness of shim per side in the pockets. When someone starts stacking up shims to tighten pockets up, all they're doing is causing the pockets to play dead. Triple shims absorb to much of the balls impact when they come into contact with the facings, causing the action of the balls to drop off into the pockets, instead of reacting like they're suppose to.

Semi-explanation!
Nice work Glen, I see you are indeed a master technician. Wish I Had been playing on tables you serviced during my road years. You would not believe
some of the equipment I've played on (especially in the South, Southwest.) fortunately I learned to adjust, (most of the time.)
We got off on the wrong foot, but I can see you take pride in your
workmanship, a rare commodity these days. Just take it a little easier on
the guys trying to learn a difficult craft, and the guy's who have done
pretty darn good work for years.

Nice to know.
Someone was eager to get "tight pockets" in a new pool hall which was redoing the GC4 they had. 3 shims was glued on each side, but after the first table was done, these was removed to get a better playable table.
I think however I would use 2 shims on mine when I some day get a house to park it in
If the rubber is not gone to dust and needs changing....Anyway - excellent work.

and thank you for the complements, I do take pride in all my work, as I know others do as well. And trust me, most of the tables I come across today, are no different than the ones I started working on 25 years ago Glen
