[lesedwards]

hi Les

Nice to see the table has adjustable muntin brackets fitted .

Yes. I think I am going to have one awesome table when it's all done. My BCE Pocket leathers will be in mid next week.

Ignore my email, I didn't see your adjustable brackets that Geoff spotted. I'm almost certain they aren't on my table but I'm going to get them for my next re-cloth.

Now we have two threads going on about the same thing.....LOL My other table Is sold and could be leaving this coming week so I have a major job a head of me with 6 legs to do, 4 rails, 6 freeze board covers and 11 bolt cover blocks. Nice day out so I can open up the garage doors crank up the tunes and start sanding. I hope to have some photos by the end of the day.

A silk finish is the way to go. Just a sheen, not a high gloss.

You got it Philip, that's is exactly what I am talking about. As I call it a real rich finish.

Terry, can you let me know where you get them, dont know what they are but am very curious.

Yes I am getting very excited. Today I sanded down one leg and then stained it to see how they are going to look. Love the colour of the stain. Also today UPS dropped off my order from Snooker Direct, Tournament Rails with two longer ones for the black end and Nets.

Sorry this is a side question for anyone who knows how tables are made. On the second pic down ,the one where the leg has been stained, you can see a join line running up the middle of the leg, how are these made? Thanks
Looking great Les, I like your idea of the finish you are going after, much nicer IMO .

Look at the photo of Les' table and you can see the bracket, or else check out Geoff's post as he has a close-up of one of them. I've never seen them at Home Depot but I assume they are around somewhere

Hi guys it has been a couple days since I posted any progress but thats not to say there hasn't been any.... rails are now all done. You have know idea how much work is in aech one. Three hours a peice to make them absolutely perfect, silky smooth. Tonight I am going to try and finish the 12 leg bolt covers.

My wife says I am crazy, I just spent 10 hours in my shop sanding today and yes I did finish the bolt cover blocks and also stained them. I also stained one of the rails so I could see what it's going to look like. The outcome is beyond what I could even have imagined. The grain just pops and that is with no sealer on it. I think I will spend more time sitting at the bar admiring my table then playing on it.....

Yes I am very pleased. I know it is one pile of work but I will be able to sit back and say I did this. I hope it plays as good as it will look.
