Yeah.you need a big space in another words big house.small house and the table might can still be in the house but no more space for player to go around the table and cueing.
In the beginning i thought it was easy. Just before laying the slabs i thought its difficult but possible. When i saw he placing the cloth and doing the adjustment, i realized, certain things should be done by the pros. Amazing video, thanks for sharing.
It seems easy, but the truth is that assembling this table is anything but easy. You have to be very precise, patient and cautious when you are taking the measurements because one mistake will completely ruin the process.
I knew it was difficult because years ago I saw some guy changing the cloth of a simple pool table and, even without any of these specs, it was still a real craft work.
I'm sitting here at 0133 drinking cuban rum watching the craftsmen build a splendid aristocrat table of snooker. At day I usually spend my time restoring french clocks. thats simply life, nothing wrong with that:)
I am so envious 🤤 I would love a full size snooker table. When I was a child my parents squeezed one into the living room of their flat in Glasgow. It was only there for about 2 months, by then my mother had enough 😢 and it was gone.
I want to try using tacks for the bed cloth but first i need to get one of those magnetic hammers. Don't lick your fingers. Have a wet sponge for that. Nice video.
I had me Steve Davies snooker set when I was a kid. It was something of a half meter across and 30 some centimeters wide. Cues were toothpicks and the balls were as marbles. I truly felt like I was a "aristocrat" played snooker on our living room table.
this snooker table is my dream table. Tight tournament spec pockets (not the large buckets for pockets you find on club tables.). steel backed cushions w/ northern rubber. and strachan 6811 cloth. its set up just like the tables youll se on TV.
It is a thing of beauty though. I just wish my eyesight was as good as it was when I played. I was never great. 54 was my best break, but I do miss playing.
wax will melt when you iron the cloth , soft sand car body filler is used tin modern tables , plaster of used to be used years ago , but good hand floated slates are made as a set and if done correct no filler at all is used . Wax is an american filler , we do not use that here in the UK .
i've never played snooker, barely know pool, havn't held a que in my hands for more than an hour collectively my entire life. but this was interesting to watch...i will say its about the "posh"est thing i've ever seen. XD
When the players execute a power shot on these tables the ball that goes into the pocket goes perfectly.In my table which isn't a Ryley table,sometimes when we play a power shot,the ball go into the pocket and come back... why is that?
Great clip, but some minor questions: why don't use a different cloth to dust off the table, and why not use pieces with the same colour as the legs to level the table?
Hi i've just bought a 2nd hand 3/4 snooker table i'm a keen snooker player and realy love the game ' would please asist me in assembling ,covering and spec;s of the table as well as the measurements of the D and all other marks marks on the table can' wait for ure reply .Thanks Tollie
good work boys.. but instead of having to craft your own wood under the slate to put the tacks in, why don't you use the glue down method with the scotch weld 10 like diamond? also why don't you use a electric or pneumatic staple gun instead of tacks? just curious
Mine is just about to be delivered to my home in US. I can see 3 fitters doing this job. However, only one fitter is flying in from UK to install it for me. How is he gonna do it alone? Of course, I'm more than happy to help, but I'm not a pro.
can i ask you how you bought one, where, and the process it took to get one here to the US. please and thank you. i will reply and see your replies if you do . :)
@@MitsuoRLCoach Mitsuo 1) You wanna go to the official Riley website and submit the Enquire/Quote form 2) Or contact Sharon Doyle directly who's the international export manager at Riley, nicest person ever. 3) You are now on the phone with Sharon, she will send you the terms and the final cost which includes shipping and fitting. 4) You gotta wire 50% deposit and wait up to 4 months while your table is made for you. 5) After long wait, your table is now ready for shipping, you wanna wire remaining 50% and this step. 6) 3 huge and heavy as hell crates gonna be dispatched by container vessel - another long wait, about 1 month if you are on the west coast 7) Local hauling company takes care delivering crates to you 8) After it has been delivered, Sharon will schedule installation date, fitter will fly in to you in about 1 month. Takes lots of time, but it's worth it. Here's my installation time-lapse: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--C4Cin_EPLg.html
lots of full size tables on ebay around the £350 - £500 most have been taken down and flat packed so its hard to see what you are buying quality wise! the pic they show could be from when it was assembled but when they took it apart they could have broken something. a brand new Strachan star table like on tv costs around £8,000 - £10,000 inc assembly. i have a lot of saving to do, as i wouldnt buy a riley or a rayleigh
i wan ask ...my table have problem ...went i shot the ball ...then ball hit the backside...then the ball jump out ... y?? another...my ball have damge color..can paint it >?
+powerrangjer2001 First question - because you hit it too hard or used excessive english. Second question - if your ball is painted, you have shitty balls - buy better ones; I recommend Aramith snooker balls.
What at 9:52 ?!?! Drag the cloth over the slate, this removes any dust! What about the pliers, hammer, staples, car keys, coffee cups they've left, not to mention a kilo of sawdust! I like how you've got to measure the wood and make a mark at halfway, as if they couldn't do it at the factory, like its going to be different on every table or something. Surely it would be the same on every table?
Form a group of people willing to put money where mouthes are. Then find a used table in the UK and pay up front for the shipping. Find a place where it can sit and where there is ample room to walk around it (you need 6x8 m at least or 450 sq ft) Then find someone who knows how to put it together and balance it once it arrives. Probably won't be below $4,000 for the whole package (buying table, massive shipping bill, balance guy aint cheap) and then you still need a set of balls and some cues. You don't have to worry about theft though, cause noone can lift the damn thing once its set in place lol.
I think this is an instruction video to people who are already professional snooker table installers. I'm sure the construction of various snooker tables is probably pretty similar but this is installation advice/marketing.
+151bar151 They heat snooker tables? Is that so it's nice and warm when you are on it or does it effect the play? I guess as posh as nice snooker tables are it wouldn't surprise me it it was just to keep the player warm. Maybe it keeps the table dry. I don't know thought. I don't play snooker.
bob talbot in pro matches of course! and yes, it is because it keeps cloth dry from player's sweating hands. there is pic of heating in Star snooker table (used in pro matches): www.snookermania.co.uk/uploads/5/3/4/5/5345314/9108049_orig.jpg and here is thermostat which indicates temperature set into heating (green) and real table temperature (red): prosnookerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/light-300x225.jpg
I thought I would wait until the end before posting. Surely the leg levels are not left looking like that, they are not even the same colour as the legs and very unprofessional. If I was paying lots of money for a new table and witness these horrid leg levels I'd ask them to make them at least the same colour as the table. It looks awful.
