Pictures of hackwork section!
- Thread starter Cuephoric
- Start date
In a local pool room. The rubber on the rail on the right is actually installed upside down.
What is that black stuff at the edge of the slate, it kinda looks like a filler because the pocket does not fit properly. Whats up with that? I have never seen that before.
How about those Phillips heads that are holding the pockets?
Screw heads above the pockets. Chipped balls for this table.
I think the black look is the cut away part of the pockets. Instead of the
pockets under the slate.. (if it's slate).. the pockets lay against the slate.
Hack work at its finest...

It's the carpet below the table.
Some of the tables even have a screw into the rear of the pocket, directly into the corner casting! And it is a slate table, a Gandy to be precise.
Cmon guys, more pics please, this is my favorite thread, I know there are a lot of hacked tables out there, maybe even more hacked than nice tables!!!

Don't think that's the right way to use those feather strips.
Is there a possibility that you can resize your picture? The picture is so big it is very difficult to see what we are looking at.
Sorry, first image on this board, I'm used to imgur just working. Original is resized.
Now I understand what the previous "table mechacknic" did with the feather strips. Are they in the wrong place???? :rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:
How the hell do you even begin to think that is the proper way to install the feather strips and cloth?? Were all the rails like that??
Every one. The staple job around all of the pockets looked decent though.
A few worthy candidates from the archives!
I've said it before, I'll say it again. We can ALL point fingers at hack work and show how bad others have done, sometimes even unbelievable at times, BUT i still feel without showing what you did to correct the hack work, as in before & after, then no one posting pictures here is doing one thing to show others that view this thread....that BETTER craftsmanship is available if they look for it!! I can tell a LOT about an installers work just by looking at how they recover the rails, as well as how good a mechanic's work is by looking at the repair work....but, that part of this thread is lacking guys!
AHEM< AHEM< We all know Jack Z does excellent work! I get what you are saying of course, but, we must give credit where credit is due!

I'm very well aware of Jack's work, but to all, pointing fingers is easy, fixing the work is where credit is earned. How many pointing fingers are they themselves hacks?
Glen, you are right.... the bad work needs to be corrected! It's sad some of the work I come across that is done by guys that have been doing tables for years and years.
I think the main problem is just lack of proper training. That's why I am very greatful to have learned a lot of this type of work from you and many other great mechanics around the country. You have always been willing to help any time I've needed it and for that I am thankful!
Heck yeah!! Love the precision. Cant wait to come train with you Jack! Hope all is well
