Josh, I guess the customer did the job himself to avoid being.... gouged.

You should be ashamed of yourself...making a pun like that! LOL
Just some advice guys, shrink your pictures down a little bit more, it makes it easier to see them then. And it's hard to tell the before and after shots if all you show is the pocket work, don't be bashfull, show some pictures of the whole job

Keep trying, you'll get it...LOL
Are you trying to say something with your capital letters? Looks to me like you're trying to emphasize something, but I don't think it's your work, as you didn't post any more pictures in that regard, but you did make it a point to show attitude, maybe I'm wrong, I just asked that the pictures be a little smaller, and that if you're going to show your work, please show that you can do more than just change how someone else cut the pockets on this table vs how you closed off your one pocket
Only you know how your work is and how it turned out, but if you'd like the rest of use to see it, then we at least need to be able to SEE it
Glen
That's pretty much the norm...unless someone's copying my work

Hack work in the literal sense
I mean WOW!
This was a table purchased from one pool room that closed by another pool room just opening. The sad thing is the hack that replaced this rubber and setup and recovered the table has been in the biz for 30 some years. Just disgusting that someone could do this kind of work and still sleep at night.
Anway, here's the pics:
The facings were nailed in because there wasn't a flush surface anywhere to glue to. Check out how close the rubber was trimmed down:
Awesome work! The bad thing is, some parts were cut long, others chunked short. Luckily, there were high and low spots too, so we were able to pull the rubber and stretch it enough to salvage it and save the customer the cost of replacing brand new Artemis too!!! A little stretching and some proper gluing, some sanding a new facings, and they turned out pretty good. All corners ended up at 4-7/16" wide. I was honestly shocked that someone in the business that long could just slap a facing over that and call it done!
We've got another one to recover at the same room tomorrow, so I'll post more pictures of the finished project once they're both done.
I mean WOW!
