Phenomenal Job. I just rebuilt a cheap Mizerak table. Hey, got he table for 80 bucks so it was a good learning experience, replaced the cushions, all the cloth (Don't like calling it felt) Replaced all the particle board sides with real wood and made custom corners moldings for the side corners. Even though it's an MDF top, it plays pretty good. Now, I'm in the middle of rebuilding a 23 year old American Heritage table. Beautiful wood on this one and a slate top. The cushions were so dry rotted a layer on the corners all the way down the rail just crumbled off. And the Jack Holes at AH super glued the cushions on. SO that's been fun. But I use the weldwood like you and it grabs and hangs on very well, I have no concerns about that. About your graphics. I do custom graphics and airbrushing and one thing the will help you immensely is, Lay the graphic face down on a flat surface and use a squeegee (Bondo spreader) and go over the back applying medium heavy pressure. That'll help the release paper grip better and make it release from the backing easier while holding on the the graphic. While still laying flat, separate a corner and gently pull it at an angle, 30 to 40 degrees while also keeping the backing paper about 4 or 5 inches above the graphic. That will help keep the backing paper from pulling up on the graphics. Pulling up tends to pull the graphic off the release paper. Finally, when you get your graphic on the surface where you want it, Use the squeegee to go over the graphic. The adhesive on the vinyl is a pressure sensitive adhesive made to stick better by applying stiff pressure. If you already know all this, sorry for getting so long winded, LOL. I also got my hands on hard rock maple and, well, you can probably guess what I'm planning to do with that :D. Best of luck, I'll be watching, You're a great

[@mulhollenbilliardschannel654]

Thanks for the tips! For the American Heritage they’re also know for having issues with the MDF backing that the slate screw into. Make sure if you have to use tapered shims you use a whole bunch of them all around and also be sure the slate screw bite very well. Also you’ll want to use business cards and super glue between the slates to bind them together. Sounds crazy but it’ll help the slate seams stay. Also don’t use bees wax on American heritage tables. Get the fiberglass infused bondo. The slate seams are very fussy on them. Good luck! We were one of the largest American Heritage dealers in the USA for 11 years.

[@jerryc6147]

@@mulhollenbilliardschannel654 Thanks for the info. I was all ready to install the slate tomorrow and use bees wax on the seams. How many cards, all the way across? how deep from the top where the kitty hair (Glass bondo) to fill in. Is squeegeeing the bondo enough or will it need sanded and spot putty filled? And last question. Slate is not on the table yet, Would you leave the MDF or replace is with 3/4" finished plywood? Thanks for your input.

Looks great, I found this you tube channel after acquiring a gold crown 2. Great insight. We’re all done with the painting and polishing. I’m go to hire a mechanic to re do the bumpers and do the final build. I’m thinking of doing a rough build to make sure everything is the way I want it for for fit and finish. After watching all these videos online and reading I’m super nervous about picking out the right bumpers and having the pockets the correct size. The company I chose has been around for 30 years.

[@mulhollenbilliardschannel654]

Thanks! And thanks for watching. Yeah the cushions make it a little tricky. However my table plays nice and I’m doing another video on it soon actually in regards to the cushion height. Stay tuned!

[@michaelcox7860]

@@mulhollenbilliardschannel654 I got the cloth off at the mechanics shop and he said it looked like they were replaced maybe 15 years ago probably already and looked to be originals. He said they had pleanty of life in them. I’m going to watch the videos on measuring the heights to see where they sit. I’m trying to post on az billiards and I’ve been awaiting approval for at least a week.edit they measuring 1-7/16.

How do I restore the wood legs of the gold crown III (rosewood), it’s really dirty

[@mulhollenbilliardschannel654]

If you don’t want to sand it down, and refinish it. You could always a rub it real good with a maroon scuff pad and a degreaser. Then follow up with some old English that matches. Good luck and hope it helps!

so did you Installed K55 with out any adjustments? how play compare to k66. Im panning change my but idont know if go with acufast k66 or superspeed k55 what do you think? thanks bay the way excellent job

[@mulhollenbilliardschannel654]

The best fox for these table is to have the subrail angle changed to make the k55 work perfectly. But after researching I found that doing k55’s still get a fantastic result without changing the subrail. Just have to mount them about a 1/16 lower to get the tip of cushion in a better spot. But k55 is definitely the cushion of choice
