At the snooker world championship in Sheffield when it goes from the two table set up to the semi finals and the one table there is normally about half a dozen guys working on the one table but for the most part this was the one guy setting the table up, very skilled craftsmen and was interesting to see this being done, well done to you both on a great job , seeing that new table just made me want to have a game 👍
Excellent work! Could the next video be about how to assemble a house big enough to put this table in? It's the only thing that's missing in an otherwise flawless road to playing snooker in my own home.
Famous Russian joke - You know if your house is big enough is when the most of your guests don't even notice that there is a 12ft Snooker table in front of their eyes. :D Most houses in the US are big enough to accommodate a Snooker table.
I seem to recall these were called E J Riley tables back in the day (when they were built in Accrington). In fact they had a shop in Accrington which sold all types of sporting goods. I didn't realize that the bed was made of a number of sections but it makes sense. Fascinating build and great music.
After that one game they’ll be lucky if the cloth survives much longer. Did you see the miscue marks throughout their “game”? 😱 Video should be called 2 rich white guys build a Snooker table, then shit all over the game of Snooker. I’ve never seen so many reds played from the other side of the table 😂
@@kajicky Chalk dust gets on the table each time a chalked cue tip strikes the cue ball. It doesn't indicate miscues. The table appears to have been fitted by professional fitters from the manufacturer. And I don't think they were playing a 'game' of snooker, they were knocking the balls about to test how the table runs. If they'd played a real competitive frame I imagine you'd be complaining they weren't wearing evening dress. Spread a little sunshine for a change, why don't you? :-)
It took me a week to assemble it, when I first got my snooker table. It's a tough job. Even reclothing it 3 years later, took me several days 😊 Most of the time I always spent levelling those 5 slates until it's almost perfect or I give up as I can't improve it anymore.
I'm envious, dude... I hope the table gets a lot of play. Just don't neglect it, man. That would be an unforgettable sin. Keep playing, you lucky bastard :D \m/
Awsome, I play snooker but on a smaller table 6 leg but nice to know the craftmanship that goes into making a full size Snooker Table by Riley England..
There is something incredibly satisfying about watching amateur players play snooker. It makes me feel so much better when I miss to know that other people also miss, everyone isn't Ronnie O'Sullivan making every pot or playing great safeties. Nope, most of us miss once in a while. Great video!
I suggest not to tighten the bolts in the legs until the slates are on and the table is levelled perfectly. The beams might not be settled properly if the floor and legs are not perfect even. So there could be a gap somewhere between the beams and the legs but the tightened bolts hold everything in place until they get loose with time or someone leans on it while playing and puts more weight on it. Then the table sinks in and is not level anymore and needs re-leveling. Which could be difficult as it might be that the slates 2 and 4 are affected, which you can't reach properly for re-leveling without taking the cushions or even the cloth off. Lots of messy work and time consuming. If you keep those bolts firm but not totally tightened, the table can "sink in" its position under the pressure of the slates before you level it and will stay where it is after it was perfectly leveled. Only reason why it could become not level anymore then, is when the carpet or the matts (to level the table) underneath the legs are squeezed in after some time. But then you can re-level it very easy under the legs with a jack (gently) as usually the slates 2 and 4 are not much affected or will get back in place when the legs are lifted in position again with matts. I used to it the same way as in the video but when I had to install 17 tables for the European Championships in Malta in 4.5 days, I had this idea and it worked 100%. All tables stayed perfectly level throughout the championship and players appreciated it. P.S. please use 4 men for the slates for the sake of your backs... one slate has 180kg... 😓
@@davidfarquharson5530 yes, BUT you should level it already as good as you can before you leave it overnight. Then do only the fine-tuning the next day. Otherwise it can be that the wood bends, if there are any gaps between a leg and the floor, for example. That's actually the savest way to avoid the table from settling later: Quick levelling before the slates are put on. Slates on. Immediately level it as good as you can. Leave it for a day or two. Then do the precision levelling. Then tighten the bolts in the legs. Done. Good luck!
Yes, the only assistance he requires is when it is time to lift slates on the frame. We managed to do it only two of us, typically it's 4 men job or two men job + special dolly.
@@AznHunter69 In the US, it is a two day job. The table is allowed to sag overnight under the weight of the slates. And the next morning the work continues. It's common practice because we don't have snooker table fitters in the US. And returning UK fitter to fix the sagged table would be a costly practice.
Very interesting to watch. What I'm most surprised about is the baulk line and D literally just draw on with a pencil! :) But now I think about it, what better way? I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I am looking to build a snooker room, this after I had a dream the other night of sneaking into my local snooker club and having a game of ILLEGAL snooker (lol).

I will have to build the whole thing from scratch as the access to my cottage is through a covered passage to the back of a tall building and my back garden is 1.2 metres above 1st floor level and the only way to get the materials into the garden is over the top via scaffolding.
Can't wait for my table to be installed im a couple of weeks I dont think it will have the music being played and think it will take lomger than this video ... thanks for sharing I have been wondering how it all come together...
Heh! I suck at snooker so bad that I'm struggling saving up for, and justifying buying my own cue. My weekly visits to my local club are always a blast though. 😀
If I was going to get a 12' table from the UK, I think I'd have the steel-block cushions version. I didn't see the fitters use a template to measure the size of the pockets! I would have thought the the old-fashioned 'half butt' and long rest would have long been dispensed with by now, even for domestic tables, and replaced with the later telescopic versions. Gets me wondering if I'd be better off going with 'Star' or 'Rasson' as my table supplier, even though Riley were once top of their game. But, I still wish this table were mine! Lovely setting too. Can I come 'round for a game? ha ha!
There's only one.......yes......one snooker table available to the public to use. It's in Harrisburg. An hour away from me. I'd LOVE to have a full size table and a room to put it in.
Wonder if the customer feels a tw@ watching this back “ffs look at me in the background standing in front of dire straits on the tv with my little guitar like I’m one of them” 😂😂😂
As Elfakir Abderrahim rightly said Lighting is very important, I have 12 led light shades over my Snooker table , sounds like to many but for me absolutely no shadows :) Also now you should also try English Billiards (1 red 2 whites) great game for those that never played it, it teaches you angles ect. The setup video is great!!!
Amazing. Thanks for this. It's amazing to see how much work goes into it. I'm curious though, how strong is that slate? It looks pretty thick. Could it withstand someone standing on it if someone was careless enough to do that?
Dude, all the respect to you. Although I have very limited taste in the classical music, cause I'm mostly a bluesman, I picked the best pieces that I enjoy the most.

Laying the felt was really interesting and it would have been great to slow the video at that point and get an explanation of what they were doing as that's where the real skill lies.
So sick whered you get those black legs and brown lumber? Its sharp! I didn't realize thered be 5 separate pieces of slate! Soo cool. I want one........

My family owned a 1980s Riley Aristrocrat full size refurbed, we were lucky one of the Riley Showrooms is in my town (Dublin Ireland) and only 20 minute drive. From when we ordered the table it was up and running 3 days after. No better feeling then having your own. Congrats man hope you and your family have a 'ton' ;) of enjoyment on it :)
Amazing so dedicated,planned is he Noah ...
Had no idea as to the complex and precise steps needed to make a professional snooker table.
Can't believe this... I moved to Phoenix AZ about 9 years ago. I haven't played snooker for many years but always wanted to get my own table. Not easy to find a club here in PHX. I would really like to know how you organized this seeing the table can from Railey's?...
Fantastic!!!
Reminded me of 'A Clockwork Orange'.....
the only thing that is missing is a source of light in the seeling shadow can affect your aiming
Yes, I'm currently making by own trapezoidal overhead light fixture.
Work dude... I'll tune in to snooker with a little guitar playing. 9:05 (upper left corner in the background)
In case you're curious what's being played:

I reckon it would be clearer to show one part of each essential operation slowly....
You play snooker great
😂😂
Mates; - "How much does the table weigh?"
Him; - *There is no room for error!*
Are those 50mm slates ? if they are you made it look remarkably easy. I had my 100yr old Burroughs & Watts table installed and the slates were 50mm - seriously heavy bit of kit !!!
I was curious when I saw how thick they were so I looked it up, they are 45mm or 1.77 inches. The table weighs 1190 lbs.
There's nothing like brand Cloth 👍
Till this video I thought those tables were purchased in one piece lol
All it took was 13 minutes 17 seconds to build.. I might buy one too xD
They should iron the table cloth soon after finished their assembled..i wish I could have one nice snooker table in my house someday
Great Video but should have kept the soundtrack of the Clapton concert playing in the background....
Wow. Riley England.
