A week away in St Day holiday park , Redruth Cornwall , not busy on the roads as traveling time of 4.5 hours from Long Eaton , in fact my fastest time traveling down here over the years. And not gone over 70mph returning almost 50mpg in our Skoda Karoq petrol 1.5 automatic .Rained most of the way down here and very windy . But sun is now breaking out . Going to be an unsettled week for rain and sunshine , but it’s a weeks break from work and time to relax a bit after a very busy 3 months . Stopped at Jamaica inn for a bite to eat , was not impressed by that tourist trap £50 for carbonara and Carol had gammon and chips plus a drink each , very bland .

Last couple of days working on a very nice tulip leg Burroughs & Watts rigidus frame snooker table , client wanted the modern look so they had the legs and cushion panels sprayed silver and some very high class polish work to the frame and cushion cappings , which has a very nice flame mahogany woodwork . Re-rubber in best yellow dot Northern rubber , and fitted with Hainsworth Match cloth , also replaced nets and leathers and ball rails , we used plastic ball rails as these are the best type to use if you want nets to last long and balls not to chip out on the metal rings and screws , a common problem often overlooked .a pro lighting set up, all this for a very talented young son , who would like to turn pro , all pockets cut to WPBSA 2005/6 template size of 3.3/8th at the fall .

All local to me .

We do get the odd tables to re-cloth that realy is on its last legs , this one has water damage and broken top frame , also rock hard cushion rubber , the cloth was full of mould on the cloth , the cushion bolts where rusted too and took ages to get them off , this table was requested to be put back into playable condition for a sons graduation party . It would be the last time it was re-clothed , a decent set of second hand cushions and re-clothed in strachan 6811 silver and a plate strengthened around the centre pocket .
