Forgot to mention that. It baffles me that when the cross members are numbered as to where they go on a GC, that when being set up, they can't put the cross members where they belong. I took the slates off the frame of this table to start right from the beginning because the slates had come apart and there wasn't one single shim used to level the slates. Upon taking the slates off I found out that the cross members were all back-wards so I removed them and re-installed them were they're suppose to go. When I work on a table for someone, I never assume that who ever worked on it last did it right, so I check everything from the beginning, then I know for sure that everything is done right. If things are done right, then I give credit to who ever worked on the table, if not, then I shake my head at another job done by someone that has had no formal training. In my book, I don't think of mechanics as being bad or good, I only see mechanics as either they knew what they were doing, or they didn't. The blame for not knowing what is right or wrong as far as I'm concerned falls on the manufactures of the tables in this industry...because they don't offer any kind of training to work on pool tables:grin: so you just have a bunch of mechanics trying to be mechanics...even if they don't know what they're doing. I've never met a mechanic yet that if you show them how to do something right...they don't want to learn:grin:
