Tell me about it! When I was in college I played a lot of pool. More than I care to admit. Didn't help that I worked at the college pool hall so I get to play for free lol! Thanks! Makes sense. And here is the completed product. This is an older Connelly. I think it is a catalina but might...

Thanks! Wasnt too bad bc im pretty handy and had help. The simonis DVD was great. Only complaint is that the volume was too low. I know it sounds cliche but I really enjoyed doing it! Charlie

Thanks Fastone! Okay last night I spent a few hours watching the video and covering the felt. Here is what it looks like: For my first time I thought it was pretty good! The DVD was great! There was a little more shadowing/wrinkle by the anchor side pocket before I stretched the end. I was...

IIRC, the first time I ever played pool was with my cousin in China. Don't remember much except I really sucked back then and now I just suck a little less:smile:

Alright I got the frame/cabinet set up and leveled as well as I could. I did have to shim two of the legs. By doing this I was hoping to made leveling the slate easier and I was right, I think. I did have to use two wooden shims and the slates were literally lined up to the point where you...

Haha lol. I know right! That kitchen belongs to my girls and they are well behind! Maybe I should get them a dishwasher with that pink kitchen!:grin:

Omg Bob reading your post almost makes me teary eyed! Ive given up playing pool when i got married and am now doing this for my two girls actually. One is 8 and the other is four. The 8yo is getting pretty good at ping pong and thats what led us into getting this table. Thanks for your well...

Okay! Will do!

Yep we will move that around. For the record, I should have clearance all around except for a certain corner which I got a shorty cue for. Gotta make sacrifices. This is better than no table:grin:

HAHA you have no idea how funny that is bc my wife is constantly complaining about the kids toys and now MY toy!! I promise her this is a work in progress and when it is done (I will rearrange everything) she will love the look and layout. Actually the table is for me and my 8 year old!!

And this is the set of rails. I just cleaned and lightly sanded them for staining and polyuing. Obviously the rail with the name plate is an end rail. But I didn't realize initially that there was a matching end rail. Took me a second to realize which it is LOL. Corner pockets cut differently...

And that would be correct Glen! I just cleaned it today and will stain and polyu in one step. And hopefully get the legs on before the end of the night. -Charlie

Hello, not sure if this is the place to post this but I will use this to post and update my journey into getting a pool table for my living room. I bought this on 11/26 from a wonderful lady in NJ and finally got it home today on 12/3. It was a bear! My father in law, brother in law and I did...

Yes i saw that too on ebay but not currently for 85. Zoro sells them and sometimes they have deals so we ll see. Also i do plan on getting the 3m spray adhesive for the pockets. Thanks!

Wow nice looking tool! I bet it works as well as it looks too. Thanks for the heads up. -Charlie
