    Hosted my first 8 ball tournament in the man cave

    Had a blast. Eighteen players, $5 entry. 1st, 2nd, 3rd place pay out. I took 2nd. Very stressful having twenty five people in my space all at the same time. But it was fun and we plan to do it again. Youngest player was ten years old and the oldest was eighty! Here's a short video clip...

    Brunswick edge trim moulding?

    Not sure when, who, or how it happened, but I discovered a cracked section on my Brunswick Viscount trim piece. Anybody know if it can still be bought, if so where? And if I can't find an exact match, is there another version, color, type of material that can replace what I have now? Thanks

    My one of a kind Brunswick Logo man cave piece

    Decided to make me a Brunswick logo for my man cave project to compliment my pool table. So I figured I'd make a nice dimensional one. I carved it on my CNC, then painted it matte black. Did the Brunswick name in 23k gold leaf. I hand painted the rest of the lettering and border to finish it...

    I have a Gandy big G, and the the pocket size is generous. I picked up an older Brunswick and the pockets are a little smaller. Is there a regulation pocket size and what is the size on tournament quality tables? I measured mine and the front of the opening is around 5" tapers to 4" at the...

    Team logo cue balls question

    I bought a used table and it came with a set of Florida Gator logo cue balls. The numbers have a black ring around them like the Brunswick Centennial balls do. I'm trying to find out who manufactures these balls and if they are any good to shoot with? The logo means nothing to me since I don't...

    My Gandy restoration

    I couldn't find a forum about specific tables so if this needs to be moved somewhere else, go for it. I bought a Gandy table about twelve years ago with the intent of refinishing it one day. Well that day came about two years ago. I printed a black carbon fiber using automotive wrap film with a...
