Thank you, King Cobra. Now I know how to do the rails correctly I can get on with my recover project. I had a so-called professional guy recover my table, a no-name but solid and well-built item, and the results were unusable for serious play. He failed to refill the bolt holes that were an unusual feature of my slate, so that there were several 'dips' along every rail that a ball could settle into. He also completely screwed up one side rail recover so badly there was a folded staple sticking up at a side pocket. I had to buy more cloth to fix it myself. He promised to return and re-do the job right, but instead he dropped out of sight, and I never called him, either, because I didn't trust his work anymore.
Going to install ANDY Premier cloth on a 7ft Diamond shortly, when I do that, I'll be recording from start to finish, but breaking everything down into shorter videos, but still step by step.
Great video as always Glen. What are you using to support the rail frame off the slate? Also where do you get your scissors from mine are never that sharp out of the box. 😅
Cloths are different from manufacturer to manufacturer, so to answer your question, you need to clamp down the cloth on one side of the slate, then stretch the cloth across the slate to the other side, mark it at the maximum stretch, let it relax, then measure how far you could stretch the cloth. Once you can answer that question, then back off 3/4" inch, then you know what the stretch index is for that cloth, for that size table.
@@therealkingcobra I hope he calls some tables are in rough shape. Loving you videos by the way. Hopefully I will see you sooner than later at Brothers.
First answer, replace the featherstrip, 2) run duct tape the length of the featherstrip on 3 sides to widen it, 3) last choice, lightly coat it with spray glue.
O Nine Ball aqui no Brasil é fraco, mas eu estou me preparando para a liga profissional. Vou fazer minha própria mesa pq aqui no Brasil não tem mesa de Nine Ball
