Hi, please can someone point me in the direction of any threads specifically aimed at people with home tables. I've recently converted the garage and installed a second hand 9ft table. I have respect for table fitters and when I eventually buy a new cloth I might invest but taking this current project on DIY I'm really happy with my slate accuracy and managed to re-stretch the old cloth pretty well.
I'd like to share my experience of buying, dismantling, transporting and rebuilding my table for anyone out there who is thinking of a similar project and daunted by the task. I have quite a bit of building experience too so can offer some thoughts on appropriate techniques in garage conversions. I can share photos.
Lastly, the table is a complete mystery, I was guessing it was a Birmingham Billiards Ltd Monarch but a local snooker shop suggests its a Chinese copy. I'd love it if someone knew more about it as the quality of the build seems very good. 5 slates at 2" thick which butted up to give the most perfect joints.
Me and the Family are not even a week in to using the games room and its been a hard slog but worth it in the end.
