What I learned from this video: a solid 1" slab of slate is not as rigid as I thought! It seems much more flexible and deformable than I had imagined.

Why people still use center spots is beyond me.. they interfere with racking and play.. instead.. make a stamp, or an ink based marker so that you can just skip the sticker. I've done this with my table and much more prefer it. also drew a line on my head string.. my felt is slate gray, and I used a silver sharpie, so it's just darker than the felt color, and looks much sharper. than a sticker that doesn't lay flat always.

Is that a 1 piece slate or a 3 piece slate?🤷‍♂️

How to I add diamonds to a table that does not have them, could you please tell me the formula to measure them?

If you also change the velcro along with the carpet, then what’s the point of using velcro in the first place? :|

If glue is applied correctly the cloth will hold until it need’s replaced. I glue cloth every day and reclothed slate that has been glued for years that was still hard to pull off slate

Its real easy it is 23" from the end diamond and 23" from the first diamond from the side diamond...

Very good video, do you have one for a 7’ table?

I'm sure ya'll will still be around about 3 years from now. You're hired after I get that addition built! Man Cave.

Great content, Great presentation, and very clear. I have ordered a machine level, and can't wait to use it.

just level it no need for all that if the wood is straight then it won't need leveled in the middle

I love your tables

man stfu this is nuts

Very nice video Paul. Thanks for taking the time to talk and demonstrate all the small details.

Where are you putting the wrench

How can I find a local Diamond dealer? I'm in Illinois

🤣😂 Measure from the nose of the cushions. Make a very small mark equidistant from all 3 rails, then gently put the spot on the mark without letting it stick much. measure to the spot from all 3 rails and adjust until it's equal distance from all 3, and then stick it down permanently.

It blows my mind that you have so little views on this walkthrough... this has been awesome watching and listening to. Simply being able to see how much work in so much detail really gives me a good understanding of what to expect as I'm planning the build. Your knowledge has also been extremely insightful and refreshing. Thanks for sharing!

So your table came with the legs attached? this one Paragon Did not. Want to know if 2 or 3 bolts to attach leg. Thanks.

I bought a used table about 12 years ago and the guys delivered it to my living room in pieces. I put the whole thing together by myself. But I stapled the cloth to the table because that's how it was done before. To get it all level I used playing cards as shims.

I install 2 tables a day everyday. This is definitely not the way it's done. Although this will do, you are making so much more work than necessary. Maybe I'll post a video of the actual process done by the best professionals.

No thanks, I will stick to gold Crowns as my choice of table.!

what a joke

Final test, a piece of 24" x 24" 1/4"-3/8" glass and a ball. Lay the glass on different spots and place a ball in the middle, if it rolls, readjust.

At 9:40, how is it possible to have the slate low in the middle? That suggests the slate is not flat. Is there a natural sag due to weight? Can the slate flex that much?

Why does this table only have a one year warranty.

Ok I'm so confused. Diamond makes replacement parts that don't fit so the consumer needs to make fit? Why would you not cut the velcro and carpet to the correct dimensions at the factory since it's your product and know the exact dimensions? That's the stupidest thing I've seen from a factory selling replacement parts. I can see if it was marketed from someone else as Universal fit

Velcro should 100% not go bad if the carpet never gets removed so why go through all that work to remove and replace velcro?

I have the polisher coming shortly after my new ProAm arrives next month. Can't wait! I do have a question though: if you're using velcro for the sidewall carpeting, why replace the velcro backing? If you have to glue in new velcro each time, what is the point of the velcro? Why not just ditch the velcro and glue the sidewall carpet directly like you do the platter carpet?

How much is that table?

Interesting topic! Something you do not see in this detail in a 5min How its made video. Thanks for taking the time! One question though: Wouldn't it be better not to lean on the outer rim or place the belly on it when taking measurements with this precision?

how many does its cost this one

At the side pocket you put the tip of your knife to the point of the rubber and make an angled cut back towards you. Staple the first flap then fold the remaining part and staple down, making sure you're free of wrinkles 🤣😂

If doing rail recovery, PUT IN HALF THE STAPLES THIA GUY USED.... that is called staple overkill and is absolutely horrible for the next person working on stripping the old felt off. This guy is clearly an office worker reading some basic ass instructions 🤣😂

When doing the corners you will get wrinkles on your first few stretches you just put to staple at the beginning of the wrinkle and that takes it away from ever showing on the rubber.... Cause the wrinkle won't go beyond where you put a staple , again just laughing at how wrong this guy is doing this and explaining it 🤣😂🤣😂😂

Honestly this is comical watching someone who thinks they know what they doing, but doing their job wrong 🤣😂🤣😂

Your featherstripping should never be exposed to the point that you can put a stable in it, so make sure the feathstrip is hidden behind the end cap on the rail, DO NOT STAPLE THE FEATHERSTRIPPING.

And you don't trim the featherstripping you pound it down with a pounding block and make sure it's set down under the rail, cause if you have any type of lip there it'll wear the cloth down over time. This guy is a rookie for sure 😂😂🤣😂

With brand name on simonis felt, it should never be seen from the top, so your comment about having the brand name on the foot and head of the table, of it's seem on the top side of the rubber, then you put the cloth on wrong the factory line should be hidden!

Is every table cloth done in shop done this way before shipping?

Fantastic tables. I play on one almost every day. The craftmanship and attention to detail are very evident.

Your polisher imo is the best there is, had mine for some time now and has never failed or damaged any balls. Keep up the great work your company produces.

I'm your 1000 subscriber do I win a 9 ft pro am?

Is it the table or the concrete?

I currently have a nice 9 ft pool table which is very nice..I had an 8 ft pool table before and I think people enjoyed the 8 footer more than the 9 footer...maybe cause 9 ft is harder to play since is longer and pockets are narrower? Thinking about selling 9 to get an 8ft table. We don't play professionally just for fun in my garage man cave...debating between selling my 9 footer to get an8 footer..what kind a felt and bumpers should I get ether for 8 footer or even if I decide to keep 9 footer? I have enough room to play on 9 footer, well I have a pub round table on corner of garage with 2 barstools and people have to move when shooting from that corner. Also I have just barely enough room along wall to shoot..however I was thinking about putting a shelve along wall for drinks etc, etc..but tje shelve will definitely get in the way when shooting from that side of wall..so that's why I was thinking about 8 footer to just have a little more space Maybe get a nice Dimond pro with good bumpers and blue felt, or upgrade my current 9 footer with good bumpers and blue felt too:)

I can't find that glue anywhere online. Do you have a link?

What do you recommend cleaning the Dymalux rails with?
