Building my own table

[hsn]

Send me yr email and I will send you pictures and dimensions in attachment when I get time.

In fact, I need all the dimensions (height, width etc ...) as well as for gabaris pockets.

I intend to build everything from A to Z and it is not easy to find this information.

You'll need 6 legs (only full size table needs 8 legs) 7-8 inch thick. The table height is around 2-foot and 10 inches plus minus half an inch. This includes 1 3/4 inch thickness of the slate so make your frame 2-foot-8-inches high. It is very important to construct the frame 4 inches smaller than the slate from every side. Pool-Table-Frame.jpg Use 2-inch-thick wood for the frame. This is a basic idea for you and it's not a rocket science. You can also install slate on a brick base 2foot-8inch high if you won't often move the table. The real test is in the top of the table. First you decide and complete the base frame then I can give you the cushion dimensions no problem. As a suggestion, if you have enough space go for a full size table. In my personal opinion anything below 12 x 6 foot is very unsatisfying.

Brick legs? I never would have thought of that. What a great idea. Has anybody ever seen one?

Thank you very much, I give you my email by private message.
I have a room big enough and I think to a table 12 feet.

[QUOTE=Sotica;686553]Thank you but it is too expensive to import it from uk :-([/QUOTE

you can buy a table for £200 here and drive over with a transit and collect it - mad to try and build one!

in fact depending on where you are i might even be passing near by at some point.

Do, please, measure that room. You need a minimum of 4.8 metres by 6.6 metres uninterrupted, clear floor space. At that you will get a small chair in each corner but nothing else. Any smaller, or any projections from the walls and you need either a smaller table or a short cue. 5 x 7 metres is better.

Plenty of people have bought a 12' table to fit in a "big room" only to find the room wasn't as big as they thought. Geoff Large has sometimes posted amusing pictures of tables in rooms which are inadequate.

I'll send u email shortly, sorry for my late reply i am a busy person. By the way you will need 23-foot X 17-foot room for full size table. There must not be any pillar in this space. Let me know what size of table you have finally decided and then I'll send u exact measurement of the wood to cut and fix together.
