Da Vinci Billiard Assembly Instructions:
Provided by American Heritage Billiards
**Please read entire Assembly guide prior to building the Da Vinci pool table.
Prior to Assembly, Check that there is 1 x assembled base, 1 x Rail Box, 1 x Side/End Blinds
Box, 1 x Accessory kit, and 1 set of framed slate inside the cabinet

Step 1: The base of the table should be received inside your crate as shown above, no further assembly
is required to the base. There is no hardware required for this step.
Step 2A: With a tape measure, measure the cross beam assembly diagonally from oppossing corners to
make sure cross beam assembly is square.
Step 2B: Make sure that the long beams are flush with the top of the leg box.
Step 3: Making sure table assembly is in the proper spot in the room, use a level to ensure the frame is
level to the floor. Use flat shims under the legs to adjust if needed.
Step 4A: Locate the center piece of framed slate and position it on the cross beam assembly so that it is
centered to both the length and width of the assembly (you must be very accurate with placement). Pre-
drill hole through slate screw hole using a 3/16” drill bit. Vacuum out debris and secure using slate
screws pictured below (figure 1.A). Continue with same process with both outside sections of slate.
Step 4B:With a level or straight edge, be sure that the slate seams are flat and level. If adjustments
need to be made, loosen slate screws and place a shim(s) in area that needs adjustment. Tighten screws
and check for levleness. Use Bee’s Wax or similar to fuse the seams of the slate together.

Step 5: Remove any wax, dust and debris from the slate surface to prep it for the bedcloth. Layout
bedcloth centering it over the slate surface. Starting at one end, staple cloth to slate framing working
from center out toward the pockets stretch cloth toward pockets. Go to opposite end of table and
repeat process but pull the cloth tight while stapling. Repeat on long sides working from center
between center pocket and end pocket stretching cloth toward the pockets as you staple. Once cloth is
completely stapled, cut pocket openings by cutting small vertical incisions in cloth to relax the fabric so it
can be stretched and stapled around opening. Finally, make “X” style slits in cloth where rail bolts will
go through the slate holes (see photo).
Step 6: Slate bed will ultimately look like this when covered with cloth
Step 7: Prep the rails and blinds on the top of the table making sure to follow the marked stickers from
‘A’to ‘L’all the way around the table. Each Da Vinci pool table has been hand picked and tested to
make sure the final product assembles correctly. Please see images on the following pages of the rails
and blinds laid out and lettered.
