This table will not be arriving at The Crucible any time soon, but I think, given the tools available to these guys, they deserve large amounts of credit.
@@redwater4778 Because then it will be 5 times more expensive because the government tax the living crap out of us all and everything we own and produce.
Nothing but a hand drill, free hand routing, chisel, a jigless bandsaw, hammered nails for clamps and no combi square in sight so let’s be honest here… him building a snooker table here is mighty impressive.
For all the negative comments, I serious doubt that anyone of you could travel to this man's part of the world, work in his shop with only the tools they have and create the same products!!!
Yes they could little skill required here, within a week anyone could be gluing wood and hammering nails in, as for tools professionally made tables are still made using the same tools they were using a 100 years ago but by people who did an apprenticeship using seasoned quality wood properly jointed and professionally put together.
Okay I'll freely admit I was ready to come into the comments section and absolutely rip this to bits for the use of chipboard and nails, but do you know what, fair play. Well done for putting in the effort. Who would have thought Pakistan would have Snooker Table manufacturing. Why pay £10.000 on a table when you can make one yourself. I tip my cap.
If I had a house massive enough to have a spare room that fits a snooker table, I absolutely would rather pay a few grand for a proper slate bed table of quality. You don't have to spend 10k on a brand new Riley or whatever, you can get very good second hand tables for 4-5k, which is pocket change for people with houses that fit the things. Personally, I'd rather there were some decent clubs with proper equipment I could go to instead of having my own table, but they're all closing down to make way for corporate chain bars and stuff lately. I wish the WPBSA would make an effort to provide more places in the UK with proper clubs instead of just trying to flog off the sport to Saudi oil sheikhs or the Chinese gov.
@@AD-kv9kj I live in Maidenhead and luckily we have had a snooker club in the town centre for over 50 years. We also have a social club with 3 full size tables and two professional pool tables. So I'm pretty lucky. But yes you are absolutely right. Where other countries are establishing clubs, we seem to be getting rid of ours. Its a disgrace seeing as we invented the fucking sport.
Love the look of the Rasson II tables, had no idea they are made like this, i was imagining a dust free large factory or so, this looks crappy...just hammered with nails, respect for the skills naturally.How is all that traffic passing by not driving him mad?
This is NOT a Rasson table - it's a shockingly bad quality lookalike.

Let's be clear here this is not the craftsmanship of the ultra high quality competition snooker tables or even the slightly lower quality tables some folks with enough money can have in their homes. This is utilitarian work made with lower quality products and being sold to a market that can only afford certain levels. Some of this work was very interesting but the laying of the cloth was mind bogglingly poor but im guessing they want it to last a long time without having to change it for years but laying the tools on the cloth and marking the baulk line using a fecking cue is just shoddy careless work.. But as the old adage goes "you get what you pay for".
With the most basic of tools and no fancy workshop! Amazing. I take my hat off to them. These aren't produced for world class competitions, so cut them some slack! Respect for what they CAN do, and YOU probably wouldn't know where to start ! ❤ The Crucible isn't in India anyway, so who cares.
Well it looks like a snooker table and I'm sure it's better than nothing. Match play tables are designed to be dismantled and assembled many times, using slate beds joined with wax not car body filler. This table is a permanent fixture and probably costs a fraction of professional tables, it may explain why India is not represented in the snooker tours, but commend the ingenuity to produce such a piece with limited material and equipment.
I see a hard-working man using what he has to support himself and his family. I also see idiotic judgemental fools commenting on a life they can not comprehend as their world doesn't exist further than the mundane existence they inhabit.
I bought a similar design of table from a closing social club but no glue was used (all nailed baize) the frame was a different wood and the legs were turned not covered. When I installed it I used a laser level from all sides and used old CDs and playing cards to adjust each leg to the floor. If you get a block of wood and draw a diagonal line across one face then you can measure where the laser light begins and ends on the line and get single playing card thickness accuracy.. Getting 5, 2 inch thick, bed slates into the basement on my own was an interesting challenge . (Too heavy to lift) so had to improvise a cantilever lift through the drywall access hole. Fun Project
Bunch of snobs here (mostly UK, I presume?), with all the negative comments. This is not intended for professional play, it is for leisure and used by amateurs to play once in a while amongst friends. For that purpose excellent build and good craftmenship.
Snobs? Even leisure players want to play on a table that’s as level as reasonably practicable. Where in that video did you see a level being employed even once? The guy who owned my local snooker club used to have half his tables re-covered and serviced at any one time and the guys who did that were so skilled that they would attract a crowd just watching them at work.
@@dmhor7389 There are wooden wedges under the legs of the table. Is is leveled. That's why he called you snobs. No observation, no thinking, just presumption.
@@TheViertelvordrei You should never use wedges for this , they are angled and always shift backwards on the slope , and stick out and look crap, you should use flat metal shims(not playing cards or beer mats).
@@alanparmenter These guys cast steel, hoist engines, sharpen knives, and (my favorite) stir vats of boiling nitric acid in sandals. If they're not wearing the flip-flops, they are barefoot. Every last one of them. It's regulation. Pointing it out when the guy is using a drill is silly. To be fair, they've built up a huge layer of callus on those hooves. Not that it helps when an anvil falls on your toe.
It's nice to see people doing the best they can with limited resources. All of the armchair commentators, who use RUclips as a platform to display their petty and petulant thoughts, would do well to look in the mirror.
It’s actually really crappy quality wood and probably not even kiln dried. The dark brown part in the center, the heartwood, is typically the only part of the tree used because the sapwood can behave very differently. Sapwood can be less stable or susceptible to parasites etc.
I think I would prefer the legs just be stained to bring out the natural grain of the wood rather than covering them in chip board. Other than that I am very impressed. It may be a different country but still it's just one man doing all the work while the others watch. The only difference is they aren't leaning on shovels.
They might have cleaned the legs and frame of the table which was covered in dust and scuff marks before they did the reveal shots. The red balls should be set up as close to the pink without touching by the way. I agree with other comments, a budget table, a budget quality for a budget market. I hope the one I have ordered here in the UK is a tad better.

@@bushratbeachbum All I can say when you were an apprentice you were not taught very well in the use of boxwood handled chisels. At technical college our instructor would hit the roof if you went anywhere near a chisel with a hammer. I find it hard to believe you haven't marked or split the handle of a boxwood handle using a hammer.
so when do we see a snooker table being built, the quality of the wood would not even make a pallet in the UK, good on them for what they do, but look at how fast the balls slow down, as someone said wont be arriving at The Crucible any time soon, like NEVER, good for a pub thats all
This is actually the manufacturing process for the Rasson Magnum II 12' snooker table. These tables are regularly employed in professional play around the world. It might be shocking for you to see the process, but for this brand, this is how it's done.
Since players adapt to the playing conditions, you can have as much fun on this table as on any other as long as the dimensions, the balls, the cloth & the slate are standard! There is no place for snobbish contempt in billard!
As a professional table fitter for 23 years who worked on the world snooker tour for 12 years take it from me , this is shockingly bad , especially the cloth fitting using adhesives , something you should never do. They can't even apply the markings correctly, don't have the basic equipment ,and the gap from the reds to the pink?

Covering the beautiful wood with chipboard, wow.
It's a cheap wood, and they cover it with particle board because it paints well. Just FYI.

Its good enough for a social club but you won't see it at the world series.
Is it level 🤔
The plural of table is tables.
Probably plays OK for the average club player
This table is assembled like a flat pack. Kudos to the guys that do the work but this is NOT how a professional snooker table is made.
Definitely not a RASSON table! 😂😂😂
This table is appropriate for India . Different standards .....
I think I've seen them in Leicester during the Snooker world championship
