Posted on a new topic to keep track of the progress to my table. Still looking for a job, so I have all the time in the world now to do some actual work to it. I don't know what brand it is since it came with hand drawn blueprints.
I was thinking of using automotive fabric paint to freshen up my felt. I tested a small un-seen section and it didn't cover as I expected. Decided to ditch that idea and just use a soft brush and soapy water and scrub it clean. I think it will work out for now.
My buddies want black but I think it might look retarded considering it's surroundings. We'll see, more on that after I secure another job. [$]
I just bought myself a brand spankin new 4' level so I can get the table leveled. Also wood shims and more sandpaper. It's got a mean curve I have to fix.
For the seems and screw holes I'm going to use the car bondo I have to fill it and smooth it out after it's level. Also thinking of updating the hardware for it as well since it is so old it's those square-headed bolts and nuts
Still need new pockets, going to do black ones.

I have all the supplies I think I need, like new putty knife and a can of medium contact cement. Since it's gotten warmer, we've left the sliding door open. This apparently makes the felt expand a little bit. Leaves waves in the felt which is bad enough I don't think Tiger Woods would even putt on it. [}:)]
We're throwing a huge party on the 8th so I hope to have a new job and all this done before then. I'll be posting pics of the work I'm doing.
