A computer guided machine shaves part of what'll be the tables frame. This machine's rotating heads perform several different tasks. A profiling head carves the angle of part of the frame. A routering head creates the tables decorative grooves. And a drilling head makes hold for bolts to fit through. Six wood components called 'rails' will surround the playing surface. They have diamond shaped carvings that'll become visual markers for the players. After spraying the rails with glue, a worker inserts 18 metal nuts. They'll be used later to secure the rails to the playing surface. He attaches rubber strips along the sticky rails, which are just over three feet long. The rubber will cushion the balls when they hit the sides. The rails then pass through a press twice to ensure the rubber adheres. Next, workers move the rails along this 30 foot long sanding machine. Rubber wheels gently grip each rail, as presses rub sandpaper along the edge and top. They skip the bottom because it'll be covered. They pass the rails through this sander several times to smooth 'em down. To make sure everything fits, a worker pre-assembles the four sides and the middle section of the frame's base. He uses 20 metal bolts and 20 nuts to join them. And he inserts eight wooden dowels in order to align the table parts correctly.
