Olhausen Pro Pool Table Assembly

On this day we assembled and replaced the felt on an Olhausen pro pool table. These Olhausen tables are extremely well built and great to work on. We initially disassembled the rails so we could replace the felt. The corners are put together with special brackets and the rail skirts are screwed in.

Once we have the rails disassembled, the side rails are all one unit and do not come apart; so we use the side of the table as the workbench. This customer was replacing black felt with tournament green.

After we got the rails refelted, we assembled the body and added the slate. It didn't require many shims. After the slate was level, we added the new felt.

We reassembled the rails (away from the table), then placed the on the table as one piece. We bolted them in place, nailed in the pockets and we were done.

The customers started playing before we left the house. They loved it.

Cue Master pool table

This post is on the move and assembly of a Cue Master pool table in Denver. This was an older table made primarily of particle board; these tables are always challenging and a little fun. Unfortunately, the customer chose not to replace the felt, so the finished table wasn't very pretty, but it definitely played well.

First was the assembly of the frame.

Now that the frame is assembled, it's time for the slate.

After the slate was on and the seams were waxed, it's time for the rails. The first step is to place the rails on the table, add the corner pieces and them bolt them to the table. The final step is the rails skirts and the table is done.

You can see here that the cloth really needed to be replaced...
