BUILDING A 5FT POOL TABLE

We feature a classic style of pool table referred to as a kitchen style table on 2 separate pages. The first for a Pool Kitchen Set (in pine) and the second for an Oak and Pine pool table. The process for making these styles of tables are essentially the same. We can also make the same style in solid oak. Below we show images of the sequence of table manufacture for such an oak table. They serve to illustrate, not only the integral parts, but the method we use to ensure the rigidity of a flat playing surface. Although we can fit a slate bed as an option, for many kitchen sets there is a need for occasional manoeuvrability. In which case we fit a machined kitchen grade 25mm resin based MDF bed. The images are of a standard 5ft pool table, although any size could be created.
