Josh, I do agree about the build of the madison table. I see you had a 7 foot unframed slate witch called for those pocket attach blocks.. witch the 8'foot had framed slate and no attachment blocks, brunswick called that model of madison "CY"..
I like to call it the"see why" lol' I'm sure you can finish that "see why" sentence...I have no idea what Bwick was thinking on the build of cross and center sill attachments' what a joke...those state screw blocks are down rite "dumb" because the wood splits just as you can see on almost all of em or the wood strips out... The table owner is just lucky that a guy like your self set it up to get the table to play well enough that its not gonna be a total loss and a pile of junk...

This actually was an 8 footer. It just seems to me to be a major design flaw to have an unbacked slate table with leather drop pockets. God forbid you might have to beef up your slate screw blocks and add a little length to your screws, and put a backing on your slate, but at least the table wouldn't look like every piece on it was an after-thought.
