I want to share some pictures of some work we did recently for a good friend, Tommy-D.
He has a Gold Crown 1-2 that was set up by some local hacks.
The slate was not level or flush, there was missing hardware, the cloth was not on very tight and was cut in poorly in the pockets, and the rubber and facings were trimmed badly.

All of the rails were covered pretty much like this:
The facings were all stacked to tighten the pockets. Stacking however will make the pockets play dead, and when you trim them like this, the look terrible and will show through the cloth.
How can you get a clean point on the rail when your facings look like this?
The pocket work on the slate all looked similar to this:
