I have experience moving a couple tables that were built from scratch... NIGHTMARE!!! LOL
1. Look for a billiards dealer in your area who has been in business for a long time. They probably have old slate in storage that they will let go cheap, as in < $150 - $200.
2. If you want a new slate, K-pattern slate can be bought through bestbilliards.com:

3. You can also buy pre-made sub rails:

or mill your own.
4. cushions and cloth are available from many sources, including
www.poolfelt.com
5. I am a big believer in using 1/8" thick steel 2" square tubing as a frame, rather than wood. It isn't any more expensive, it is very level and true, it won't warp, and it is nearly indestructable.
6. Fancy legs: www.adamswoodproducts.com
The design starts with pocket specifications and your slate.
Good luck wwith your project.
