Sub-Rail Extensions Proper technique for tightening pockets
	This is a 7-foot Brunswick Bradford. Corner pockets are nearly 5" wide openings at the mouth of the pockets, side pockets are 1/2" wider than the corners. We will tighten this pocket opening to 4 1/2" (2 balls width). Here's the process.
	The cloth, facing, cushions and adhesive has been removed. The surface has been prepared for the sub-rail extensions.
	The wood extensions have been glued and tacked into place. Once the glue has dried they will be ready for shaping.
	Here's the fun part shaping the extension to match the existing sub-rail.
	Here the cushions have been installed and cut. New cushions must be used because the old cushions are too short. The angles are cut at 104 degree angles for the side pockets and 142 degrees for the corner pockets. Nose of the cushion is set at 1 7/16 inches from slate for proper response. From this point the sub-rail extension portion of the job is finished, and we will continue with the standard recushion job.
	Here the cushion facing have been glued and trimmed. The rails are now ready for cloth and return to the table.
	New featherstrips will also need to be used since the old ones will be too short. The featherstrips hold the cloth in place at the top of the rail.
	Cloth has been wrapped around and stapled. The rails are complete, let's see how they look on the table.
