Just wanted to say I just completed my 8ft snooker table refurbishment. Upgraded the rubbers, re-clothed it etc, and many of your videos have been instrumental in me being able to do that, so wanted to show my appreciation. Thank you :)
Excellent! Glad to hear we were able to help you out with the installation, and glad that it all went well for you. Thank you for your support 👍

This video was very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you.
Excellent!! Glad it was helpful!
Very nice. Watching from Cleveland, Ohio. House flooded and final repair job is rebuild and felt the table.
Glad you found our video useful :-)
Captivating it very much open for everyone to learn
Thank you :-)
Very helpful series! And thanks for sharing all the additional tips. Saved me a lot of time reassembing, refelting, and installing new rubber on the rails on my Hercules table!
You are so welcome!
I'm glad I watched your video, now I get the pleasure of doing my rails again. Thank you
Thank you! And best of luck, slow and easy gets it done right :-)
Good method for tables setup in a house not in a billiard bar where they are holding league games.
Thank you VERY MUCH for making this and the other informative videos that you put together. I just acquired my dad's elegant pool table and I want to change the color of the felt. I was worried that I would have to take it to a professional to have it done but after watching your videos, I won't have to. You make the end results look as though a professional HAS done it. Thanks for the x-tra bonus tips scattered throughout your videos too. Will definitely be referring back to them again.
Thank you for the kind words, and really glad to hear you are enjoying our videos and finding them helpful! Best of luck with your cloth change, and hope it goes great!

I have 18oz accuplay cloth and the side pockets, when folded in this way, seem to be too much material and I fear they will deliver an uneven bounce on the pocket facing side. Do you suggest a different method for finishing the side pockets with a thicker felt non-worsted felt?
Thank You
Glad we could help :-)

Thank you for supporting us here at Average Joes Pool - it is greatly appreciated!
Love your videos! Just moved a pool table so your videos a going to make this job alot easier! Unfortunately I need to replace my pockets. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but is there a video for that
We don't have a dedicated video for pocket changing, BUT how to fit (and so also remove) the pockets will be covered in our upcoming complete pool table installation video. Please ensure you have subscribed and notifications switched on so you'll get notified when it goes live in a few weeks! Thanks for your support!
Great clips guys. I will be following these guides to level the table and recloth the table and rails
My simonis 860 has the writing on edge of the cloth...IWAN SIMONIS 860 and the signature. With an 8ft table there is enough for the head and foot rails to have this showing on the angled cushions
Do you advise to not use these (in case I screw up the dimensions and it looks odd) or would you advise to go for it....."why not?". Also I suppose there is another possibility. The reason it is there is to do exactly this (unsure if this was just to show genuity but it is supposed to be the edge that gets yanked, stapled and cut off).
Obviously I have the complete cloth and need to cut the rail bits myself.
Yes, go for it! It will look nice will the logo rails. That's a logo you want on your table!! Take your time and measure everything very carefully first. Don't rush, think it out carefully, and double-check all measurements and you'll be fine! Best of luck with th install!
@@AverageJoesPool many thanks for your advice. Unfortunately I have already installed the cloth and decided against it. In hindsight, I think it would have been fine. I found the rails to be far easier than I thought and easier than the table cloth to install.
The cloth turned out really good. The middle pockets were heart wrenching. I have noticed that there is a small amount of slack around the middle pockets area. Nothing disastrous, but there are some waves there when you run a pushed finger around the area.
Any advice for getting rid of that. IE, I would need to move one staple at a time to make any corrections to get rid of it, but which ones. From the table sides or directly below where ripples are on the curve of the pocket?
Hi, I thanked you yesterday for successfully felt'ng my table. Is there any other trick to fold the felt for the corner pockets? I'm having difficulty smoothing the felt over the corner. I have so much material left it is leaving very thick creases.
Hey there! There's o real trick to it. As long as you have not overstretched the material, then you should not have excess left over and it usually folds well. It's important not to overstretch the cloth on the rails over the rubber bumpers, as this can lead to dead spots in the rubber rails (as explained in the video). Assuming you have overstretched and just kept things snug but not tight, then the fold should be possible. Just make sure the first part of the fold goes right up underneath the second part which will fold over the first. If the first part is not tucked right up inside flush with the edge, then when you fold back down over it for the second part then you could have too much material. Hope that helps!! :-)
Are all wooden feather strip the same size? I have to replace them on my Burnswick gold crown 3
Unfortunately not, there are few size variations :-(

What should i do when putting the new felt around the feather strip, the feather strip is really hard to get back into the grove and protrudes out. It fit nice (not to loose or to snug) without the felt in, but now it seems to hard to press down with the felt in. Should i try hammering it with the rubber mallet and block? Just dont wanna hit it to hard…
I ended up taking the board attached to the rail off, the decorative peice that comes down to hide under table. With that off and the rail flat i was able to pound it in better, albeit alot of force was used but didnt ruin anything.
Glad to hear you managed to get it sorted! Yes, they can be pretty snug sometimes, but better that than too slack o course! Just remember if it had a cloth in it before, then it can have one again!
Should do a video on repairing pumpers
Yes, that's something that we might do in the future, how to replaced the rubber cushion bumpers. Thanks for watching!

The center pocket method is easier to do.
Can I apply the center pocket method to all the corner pockets since I'm not good at getting those wrinkles behind?
They are different and so do require a slightly different method/approach unfortunately. Stick with it, once you get the knack once the remaining corners get easier every time!! Best of luck with it!
Any videos for replacing the rubber on the bumpers?
Not right now, but it's definitely something that we might look at in the future!

At 14:28 I am not getting nearly as many wrinkles as you, i have tried bunching it up more and having another person help but I just cant seem to get wrinkles. Any tips or tricks to help me with this would be appreciated!
It can be tricky, and takes a little practice. Also different cloths can gather differently. What is the brand of cloth you are installing?

I've got brand new rail Ball bounce of great untill I put the cloth on then it doesn't bounce as good what am I doing wrong from UK thanks
Hi there! It sounds like you may have stretched the cloth too tight over the rail rubber. It is possible to 'deaden' the bounce of the rail if the cloth is too tight, so it is important not to fit it too tightly during installation, as explained in the video. Hope that is of some help!! :-)

@ 13:27 to @ 14:27 I thought you somehow damaged your fingernails. I had to go back and listen and sure enough you mentioned that your partner's help was appreciated. His painted fingernails are very pretty. So this video can be titled rails and nails recovered.
Lol, like it 🙂
Sir, I want to ask what kind of floor do you use?
For this tables installation the floor is concrete. Hope that helps!

Thank you for yo video
You bet!
What material is used at the end of the banks
At the end of the rails you have the cushion facings, which are seperate from the rail rubbers. You can buy the cushion facings seperately from the rubbers, and they are pretty cheap too. You can buy them on Amazon for around $10 for a set of 12 - take a look here: amzn.to/3X2Xh9Q

All of your videos have been helpful to me except for this one. I can’t figure out the corners at all. Not enough info on how to do the corners. I have about 3” of felt hanging over each side of the rail. Am I suppose to cut the felt flush with the ends or an inch hangover or what? Bc I can’t get the first fold figured out
Hey there, sorry to hear you are having issues. The folding for the ends is covered at 17:02 and 22:35 onwards in the video. Maybe you have a different type of rail to the ones we are working on in this video?? Do your rail look identical to the ones in the video? All of the info you need is in the video, which is why I'm thinking maybe you have a different rail type? There are a few variations, what we have here is probably the most common type for home tables. We hope you get it worked out, best of luck!!
I had trouble with the corners as well, you kind of just have to feel it out, taking up the excess material little by little underneath on the staple side, while focusing on smoothing out the cloth on the rail, if it starts to wrinkle on the rail, back up a bit until it’s smooth, add a staple, repeat.
Oh sir, how much does it cost?
Hey there! How much does this process cost? Well this video is designed to show you how to do it yourself, but if you wanted a professional to visit your home and re-cloth your table it would likely be several hundred dollars. The prices do vary quite a bit, anywhere from $200 lower end to $600 upper end is realistic (for the full table). Hope that helps!

The video is very helpful
Oh, sir, how do you cast concrete, what are the ingredients, if you have time, make a video on how to mix the ingredients
