    Slate question

    Back in the 60s and 70s Fisher Pool tables (made in southern Missouri) were making tables with one-piece slate. During that time frame virtually all pool table slate came from Italy. Italy is a largely socialist country, which sometimes results in labor disputes and strikes at the quarries...

    Accessories checklist for home table?

    Things to have: A sign prohibiting Masse shots and Jump shots. Ample countertop or tabletop real estate so that no one is tempted to put a drink on the table or balance a cigarette on the rail. A good cover for when the table is not in use. If smaller kids are allowed to play I would suggest a...

    The latest from the ABIA

    I pegged this operation when it first popped up almost two years ago. This so called "organization" is simply a scam. There aren't, and never were, any "benefits". The "organization" was always just a way for Jeff Black to generate revenue for Jeff Black. I'll be very surprised if Jeff isn't...

    Checking the Setup

    I can't help but laugh when I read some of this stuff... Using glass, balls, and bb's to check the level... all that would be great you were going to be playing pool on glass with bb's. I have developed a revolutionary way, never before thought of, of checking the level of the table. You will...

    1/2 down when scheduling

    For moves, assemblies, dis-assemblies, etc - I do not charge a deposit. If I have a customer that cancels within 24 hours of the job, then I require a 50% deposit before I'll let them reschedule. For recovers, cushions, etc - I charge a deposit that covers at least my cost of the materials...

    Shaving felt?

    I think you might be confused about how worsted cloth is made. The yarn or thread used to weave worsted cloth is put through ginning machines that force the fibers of the yarn to lie parallel to each other.

    Opinions on Champion Fabric

    Although I carry Tour Edition, I don't present it to customers as an option unless they ask for it specifically. For worsted cloth I suggest Simonis first and then offer ProForm as a lower cost alternative. The Tour Edition 3030 is more durable than Simonis, but that's its only redeeming...

    Gc 7

    There is a clear polymer applied to the glass that's designed to generate resistance and friction similar to that of playing on cloth. I've seen video of games played on these tables and it seems to be pretty close. As far as the "GC" moniker, I'm assuming the G stands for glass (all of the...

    Who decides????

    No I wasn't on active duty during Viet Nam. I got a draft deferment for being an infant. I AM however a Gulf War veteran. And yes, you served your country. Kudos to you for doing so. Since 99.44% of the troops had been withdrawn by the time you enlisted, it's pretty logical that you weren't...

    Who decides????

    Are you retarded? You DIDN'T SAY "ERA" UNTIL YOU GOT CAUGHT.

    Who decides????

    YOU put your military time in the limelight, no one else. If anyone is owed an apology, its the REAL combat veterans that you've insulted by using THIER experience, blood and sacrifice to falsely pump up your own inflated ego.

    Who decides????

    I guessed we've answered the "who decides?" question - apparently Master Mechanic of the Universe RKC decides who's worthy and who's not.

    Who decides????

    I did read all that you wrote Glen, so I'm well aware that you corrected your mistake AFTER you got caught in a lie. Anyone who's served our country honorably, whether in combat or not, deserves praise and respect. But you can backpedal and equivocate all you want. You got caught trying to...

    Who decides????

    RKC, You didn't say you were a "Viet Nam era veteran". You said you were a Viet Nam veteran. Nothing is more shameful than pretending to be someone or something you are not. And before you say it was an oversight, remember that you were making the claim to show you had courage. Regardless...
