Aristocrat Snooker Table

British engineering has had this ethos for centuries!

[@AlfredThomaz]

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.

[@anonymous9066]

Nah, nothing pro about it. You're just really bad at math.

[@pekkaahlgren1928]

if something seems easy it is difficult if something looks difficult don't even bother trying.

[@stashone9780]

Alfred Thomas same. I thought me & my mate can do this up until the cloth.

[@NIKOLAP7]

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.

[@bmandrakeeee8378]

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.

[@maxsonanthonywilliam-1284]

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.

[@freedomforthebrave]

[@NIKOLAP7]

If I earn enough money, I will get one, the craftsmanship is just excellent. Yes, this table is expensive but I am sure it worths every penny.

[@makemyday1477]

You can tell these guys have done a few tables in their time. They just came in and set it up like it was nothing. They didn’t miss a thing, no wasted effort, very impressive.

[@Sauspreme]

I like to imagine there was an entire classical orchestra in the room playing music as they built the table.

[@visemanden]

So beautiful craftsmanship! Everybody should remember what great work it is to "make" a snooker-table, when they see a snooker-game. Great respect for and to the men, who prepare the tables! Thank you for uploading this!

[@testikuskitestdrivr6012]

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.

[@BoxxerCore]

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.

[@PatrolOfficer161]

That is a work of art and the men building it are artists.

[@kurt1698]

[@klieu90210]

beeswax is by far the best product for ensuring flush slates, much better than plaster of paris, which may be prone to cracking.

[@geofflarge9348]

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 .

[@brianesparza598]

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

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.
