Thanks, I tried to do what I could with what I had, but yes there's no choice you must have one I can testify to that. :) I know they're not that much money, it's the money I'm already short every month just to live on that's the real issue... I'll get one, just a matter of time is all.

I don't have new progress to show other than your bed cloth on. I've played on it quite a bit rather than work on it, looking for funny rolls and testing my level. I'm still off somehow or there are rolls I have to deal with or both. I really am looking at making one of those Fred Flintsone...

Sweet! Fred Flintstones palm sander. This could be the solution I need for my table actually, that's a tool I may be able to make. I know this is going to sound ghetto... but I need a low $$ solution for my table. Could I possibly make one of those with a stack of granite counter top material...

So there's this ad on craugslist which reads: free pool table (forest grove) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2011-10-05, 4:31PM PDT Reply to: sale-jya3s-2634705147@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]...

By clean do you mean waxing in a ball polisher, where it can just build up crud and wax that takes time to really dry or wear down, or actually cleaned like polished or buffed with a mild cutting agent, or just alcohol, or branded cleaners that leave no residue? What's best? My balls always...

Here is an article that's a good read I found here when I was looking for this info on my table. It says 4.25 openings and 40Degree bevel, which would be exactly two balls wide at the mouth. Not sure on the sides or the downangle. I think it's interesting though in how it explains just how much...

I've heard of this guys butchery before. Sorry you had to be a victim. I saw your pics in the other thread showing the work you redid. I could see an obvious bandsaw cut into the formica on top where he trimmed a subrail extension after it was already on, wow that's sweet work! That guy should...

Why do you reccomend brunswick superspeed cushions? Just curious, I've seen deals on them but I thought I heard other people say they don't last or aren't of the same quality as others. I'd like to tighten my pockets and change the angles I'm not liking the funnel shape pockets, but other...

I like 8's and a lot of the tournaments I played locally are 8's. I think it's the best size all around for just fun and friends and if you keep your eyes open you'll find some killer deals on them, I mean rediculous... I guess that would be my advice for both tables, just keep looking at...

Brunswick Monticello If you consider there have been a lot of gold crowns for 700 or less I don't think that is priced quite low enough. I think everything you can't see is the same as a gold crown, 1" pinned slates and (probably) the same frame. Looks like a fairly close cousin, but not being...

Ask these guys? Or you can send an email to brunswick with photo's. Looks like a brunswick logo shaped nameplate to me. http://www.billiardrestoration.com/antique-pool-tables.htm

What I don't get about earl is how he's always dissing jump cues and gimmicks yet busts out every gimmick there ever was. I've seen him with goggles and finger extensions and jump cues and his extra long stick and taped up hands, and all sorts of things that look like bowling and baseball gear...

Well I dug up one of those cues I got free with my table, it was fiberglass not graphite. I didn't have 1500grit or anything close, so I just hit it with soap and a scotch brite pad which is similar in grit. Worked it over pretty good. Sure enough it played a whole lot better than I've ever...

Net pockets are at the end of this page, nameplates and irons etc you can find in the top bar. http://classicbilliards.net/html/antiquepooltablepartspockets.cfm An actual mechanic will have to tell you how to redo the rails or etc. Might help if you had a photo of the table...

The only way anyone knows who any of the male pro's are in the US is if they go way out of their way to watch what they can online or in PPV online. I don't even know if any of the mens stuff is on tv anymore, I gave up searching the hundreds of channels for the very very occasional mens pool...
