here's some pictures of a 7-foot Brunswick home table. We replaced the simonis, superspeed cushions, pockets and tighten the pockets.

That job would make JOHN BRUNSWICK proud!
nice and clean job. probaly the nicest playing bradford out there!
 
I used bass wood, you can buy them in increments of 1/16". I also used Diamond Billiards facing, if you haven't used them you should check them out.

Nice job.
Did you recommend Simonis 300 to make the table even faster? LOL
 
I assume you glue and then staple down the wood facing onto the subrail, and then cut for a perfect fit. What did you use to cut the wood with? Like a hand saw or electric saw, etc.?
 
I use a drywall saw that has an removeable blade. And replaced it with a fine tooth blade, then cleaned up with files.
 
saw

Anybody ever use a jamb saw? This works awesome. I got a Bosch and it is really handy.It was 150.00, but was well worth it. Thanx, Ron

I actually own one of those! Thanks for the info.

Do you think Red Oak would be an adequate candidate for the subrail extension?

I used basswood and have heard of people using mahogany plywood. You might want to ask the Cobra.

The wood extension works as a spacer to give the rail rubber something to glue to, it's not there for strength. I don't recommend using Oak, as a hardwood it'll split if you try and staple it with a pin nailer or 1/4" crown staples. Glue helps, but keep in mind, you're attaching it to the end grain of the sub-rail, and end grain wood doesn't hold glue very well. A soft wood, or plywood works the best.

You just answered a discussion that an installer in Ohio and I were arguing over this weekend.
Thanks!

I'd like for someone who's good at this to send me either open or private, a bid to do four gold crown II's, adding 1/4" on two and 1/8" on two. thanks for your help. bill rowsey
