He's forever going to brag about this anytime we play on it.
Mondheller
Instructions unclear. Melted wedding ring to table.
BlackElkSpeaks
clearly he doesn't know what he's doing.
Kosmokat16
cool, shame it's such an ugly table tho.
AncientPostNecromancer
So did you ride his ass about those side bumpers not lining up? Check them with a 3 ft level and a framing square, they look like hell.
Bigmayer
Go Blue!
Cobrajet500
Neat.
danielwuliger
Cool table and nice post, but down vote for Michigan. Go Buckeyes!!
tcwelldone
As a lifelong Buckeye and alumni I must concede that this is awesome, had no idea what went into this, well done OP!
RyanBuczkowski
Maybe he'll learn how to play better so I can take him to tournaments with me.
rssn0804
Whatever Butch. I give you s match.
cogs
Why on earth wouldn't you position it before installing the slate? Or was there just too little room to work otherwise?
BishopDonJeanDaQuan
Is it level?
MarkyMarkC
He did a great job; now if he can just take off that Michigan sweater, he won't be a jagoff.

LOL. He got felt on the table. .....I'll show myself out.
cellphonecat
Ballsy move.
L0rdFabcypants
As a billiard mechanic with 17 years experience i give +1. He could've stretched cloth in pockets better. Overall it looks good. Well done
L0rdFabcypants
Also left hand side rails look a bit off in last picture, but that just might be camera angle. Looks like a Connelly Billiards table :)

So this is the brother. I've never out a table up before. I watched a couple YouTube videos, stayed at a holiday inn and decided to try it.
rssn0804
I used adhesive on the sides to help pull the felt tight and than I stapled it. I also did use shims to level the slate just no pictures.
rssn0804
It plays good so far I haven't noticed any bad rolls. I'm sure I could have done things different but all in all a success id say.
rssn0804
And to all of you UofM haters out there I'm sure I'll be hearing your cries in the upcoming years. Go Blue!
LoodGookin
Next time you are there, sneak away and find something to put underneath one of the legs so that the table has a slight slant.
jamisnemo
That's not how slate works.
wastedlander
Calm down, Satan
BigSydney
You bastard! I love it!
ThePrimrose
Ah a true sibling.
Devinetank
Also someone who has never tried to lift slate! But still I congratulate the desire!
thegelatoking
Unfortunately these things are so damn heavy
pxpress
yup, the majority is the granite slabs though. if you move those separately it's not so bad.
Attacker732
Granite? I thought the good ones used slate...
pxpress
sorry, yup you're right it's slate.
pxpress
in my defense, i'm pretty hungover today ><
Attacker732
You had me concerned that what knowledge I had of pool tables was woefully incorrect...
FoxfireWoodCrafts
As a mover, can confirm. So. Damn. Heavy. Pool tables, grand pianos, and gun safes. The three pieces that haunt my nightmares.
QUAY1
Whats the proper way to move a grand piano? Pull the legs off and stand it on edge in the truck?
FoxfireWoodCrafts
Yes
sonotfunnyName
how about old 60 inch t.v i mean the ones with the tube?
Attacker732
OH FUCK THAT! A 40-some inch TV was 600lbs! (~270kg!) Screw a 60" one!
FoxfireWoodCrafts
Bad, but not nearly as bad as the big three
HornBall92
Why is it about 2ft off the ground?
ddmmyyyy
Er, that's about how high pool tables usually are.
HornBall92
But....they aren't?

SlimSkeeter
Non regulation table? or you are short...

I've never seen a step by step of how billiard tables were put together, but I always assumed it was very difficult! So, good job!

For those that are wondering, (or lazy) this translates to "cera"
Cuzzybro81
Don't do it this way
ThoseDamnAlbanians
Why?
Cuzzybro81
Slip a little before it fully cures
Cuzzybro81
Put the Centre piece of slate on first. Makes the levelling process easier and faster. Staple the cloth. The glue can allow the cloth to
drdavessardogs
What you said, but in correct order...
Cuzzybro81
Apologies for that
TasteOfNoise
well this has a couple faults so don't use this as an example. Some good work though like waxing the slate seems.
NotAPervert
What faults?
drdavessardogs
Too close to the wall, wrong color felt, felt inside out, iron left plugged in unattended with children present, no beer, Michigan fan
wedontlookalike
Wouldn't you like to know, fucking pervert...
NotAPervert
Yeah probably that's why I asked
Doughnut292
More over I didn't know a Michigan alum had the cognitive aptitude to build something of that magnitude lol
prucha25
And you also didn't know that Michigan is the #29 university in the nation too I guess... why don't you keep your mouth shut.

It's not the UM alums that are slow, it is all the Walmart Wolverines. Either way, Go Green!

Wait-they aren't assembled when you buy one?
hightimesinaz
Every time you move one you have to replace the felt, this is why I left my table with my last house.
Kerberos623
Nope. since transporting a very heavy slate piece inside a big tableform is hard.
100314finallymadeitofficial
Guess I never thought about it. I just imagine I'd really mess it up
drdavessardogs
never move it without popping a gonad
100314finallymadeitofficial
Can the delivery place send someone to assemble
drdavessardogs
Like an IKEA pool boy named "Big Juan" wait, is this a set-up for a porn movie?
100314finallymadeitofficial
I mean? Well, you just never know
