Pockets are done and finished with a french cuff. Put the rails on just to get a preview. It is so close!!
So now I have a Diamond

I was finishing it! LOL spent the rest of the night assembling the skirts and corners then torqued the rails down and now she is a player!!!!
Pockets are perfect! With my little bevel treatment on the cushion facings, they ended up at 4-5/8” they take the ball beautifully, this table is playing super fair!

Almost a month to the day I started this. I am very happy and thanks for all the discussion and support in this thread. I learned a ton about putting tables together and although this may be the last time I do this, it is invaluable to understand the equipment we play on.
Time to bang them around!!
P.S. Anyone want an 8 footer?

Lol that’s good to hear. I was like damn I wouldn’t be able to stop at this point
looks great. why did they stop with the round corners?
Not sure. I put this table around 2004-5
I think you can still order them as a no-cost option. I'm 90% sure you can for the Professional. IDK about the Pro-Am.
Where do you live? That view looks divine.
My professional has the round corners. Got it about 5 yrs ago. Still a no cost option I think.
Don't forget to retorque them after a month or so.
Southeastern Arizona. We found this amazing house that was rotting on the vine and decided this is the forever money pit. But, you can’t put a price on the view!

Crazy talk. Disregard!
So after a month of playing, it is a kick a$$ table. Worth every penny and all of the time invested. I would argue that even if I didn’t do the work myself, that paying a mechanic would still have been worth it.
The 760 with clean and polished Centennials makes for a great playing experience. (Waxgate style ;-) So much so that I am spoiled and it is affecting my game at the pool room. I Sucked today!
They have Pro-ams with, as you would expect, progressively dirty, 860hr and dirty, clingy balls. I know I need to adjust but man what a delta! And certainly a learning experience when it comes to playing conditions.
It is easier to understand what sucks but harder to compensate.

This is why I don’t rush to recover my table as often as some. I clean my table and balls once a week.. My cloth is a little worn after almost 2.5 years of play. (I play just about every day) but It’s more like what I play on when I’m out at bars for leagues or tournaments
Having a better table at home does have a dark side...why would I ever want to go to a crappier place with worse equipment?
Plus, there's only one a-hole at my house. He has good music and booze though.
