re: Pool table

Thanks, the table has a 2" slate.
I was given a 4 piece slate system from a 6′ × 12′ table that had a fractured corner (this was what inspired the project). I kept the mating edges stock and cut down the perimeter. For the pockets a did several cuts and gently chiseled them off. I did the final shaping with a grinder (diamond cup wheel and water), files and sand paper.
It may look imposing but (like most projects) the table components are actually quite simple but it did involve a bit of math.

I did have to make the pocket irons as my rails are a bit wider than stock pool tables. I can’t begin to tell you how handy it is to have a few metal working tools in your shop!
I tried to sub out the leather work but but I couldn’t find anyone so I had to do that bit too. I had a net company do the pocket netting.

The finish is Danish oil and wax.
