Amazing Modern Pool Table Makeover 🎱

  • We've had an old hand-me-down pool table in our basement for some time now. The slate is in great shape and the size was perfect for our space but it was in need of a serious overhaul. So we decided to give it a face lift and it turned out even better than we both could have imagined. In this tutorial I will detail how we took an old 7ft pool table and gave it a new modern look. From building new rails, to recovering and installing new legs and aprons. This table is exactly what we wanted and saved us thousands compared to buying a new one. #pooltable #billard #diy #diyprojects

    Very nice finish, and nice to see what you did to get there, as you sure put alot of work into this project.

    I hate to be the bad guy here but those new legs will get in the way of where you need to stand for some corner shots. Look at the original design. Nothing to block your footing. Looks nice. Just not as playable.

    That table looks awesome - also love seeing you use normal tools and producing great results. Jealous of all the helpers you have lined up!

    Great work on that pool table guys! The only thing that I would have done differently is to round off all of the corners of the table. Now lets shoot some pool! 👍👍

      Thank you! Definetly personal preference. I'm sure that would look great too

      I 45ed mine, when I got moving around the table quickly, I would hit my hip on the point...

    Great job on applying the felt to the top and bumpers. My only question is how do you level the table?

    I have the exact table left behind in our house and I want to do this project as well but this intimidates the hell out of me

  • @nathanaudet4884

    Nice table. I like how you used the old table to measure out the new. The only thing I would consider is adding more support beams running under the table for the slate. Which would help keep the slate from warping. With more of a frame you can then add shims to support the slate and help level the slate.

  • @NewsBoner

    You made that look easy great work. I didn't see a full game played on the table but if the table is playing slow (not easily hitting three rails end to end from behind the break line). Upgrading those rail connections to be able to really tighten them down and confirming the ball is contacting the rail at just over 60% the height of the ball could be the issue. If the ball is prone to jumping up in the air off the rails they are too low. I saw you confirming your angles but a very Small deviation in overall height will significantly effect the play of table. Again great work a table like that costs 8 grand or more these days

    Hi I have an 8ft pool table that I plan to redo the rails and I love your set I was just wonderwondering if you if it would be possible if you would make me a frame for the rails and how much would it be and shipping?

    Looks great, So what is the technique for measure ring the Diamonds/ markers in rails pls ? many tables don't have them including mine I'd like to add them on mine.

  • @JohnnyZ3710
    @JohnnyZ3710 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great work! I'd move those chunky legs inwards though, you're going to be bumping your legs and feet into them a lot during play.

      Thank you! It doesn’t seem to be a problem this far. Basically built like a dining table.

    Building something with your wife has to be like a good dream. You just don't want it to end. I would love for my wife to show an interest in my woodworking.

    I like the idea of upcycling, what did you use for the “cushions” you said you couldn’t re use in the corners or where the holes are, you never said exactly what those replacement black pieces were. Is it foam, plastic, rubber?! And, for any project using red oak, after bleaching the red oak with the lye mixture did you sand once dry before applying wipe on poly and is it possible to use rubio monocoat instead of poly?!

    Could you hypothetically keep the old top and build new legs? Mine has the bulkiness of your original, but I want to be able to push chairs underneath it!

      @rogueengineer  ปีที่แล้ว

      I leveled the table before installing the legs. But some levelers on the bottom of the legs would be good for future moves of the table
