shaking rack of balls.. Obviously shaking does nothing but wear the cloth out.

I tried a nickel and a dime on my tip, but both fell off, what kind of tape are you guys using ? ;-)

how about "nice try" - it can have different meanings depending upon context.

I think those sharpie pens are alcohol based. if the cue has shellac or lacquer it may bother it, but unless it's old it's probably got some new style finish like epoxy or UV cured coating and that may be somewhat resistant to alcohol. the 3m polishing compounds may work otherwise, they come...

fairly long post so for those who don't like reading long posts please just skip on by.. Im not sure about weather LED or Halide or halogen is better for photography, I did notice a huge difference when I swapped the Florescent in my shop to LED. Photos came out dramatically better. I'd...

interesting info thanks ! one thing is if you are creating a light fixture it wont have UL approval but maybe if you use those lower voltage bulbs than the wiring is somewhat protected as then the transformer may be an isolation transformer. mine had a copper wire to connect within the box it...

My BBC has 4 slate bolts through each rail section. the bolts appear the same with two pin holes, a rounded low profile head and that inner hole is threaded. the two pin holes are to fit a pin wrench. if you compare to other BBC's , some have an ornate cover that threaded into the center of...

mine is more similar to this last one than the others. the graphics are different and mine has a black Bakelite handle but the style of carving is so close that I believe it to be the same maker. Im missing the end, it would be unscrewed to use the cue so it was probably stored put together...

yes often both sides are veneered to avoid warping by presenting the frame with different conditions on either side. on a table that old the veneer is held by hide glue. Ok so long as it isn't put in a damp or humid environment. if it lived through a flood or similar it may have lost it's...

the lost power is never lost during the heating season, The losses are heat energy and the result is that the heating system runs less. If you are running AC then the AC operates and does the opposite so the two are fighting against each other and this does waste energy. There are many...

can you see a resemblance between the leg style of your table an this one? https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds/tag/d/antique-brunswick-pool-table/7677922029.html

repwood is very common in a lot of radios I collect, mainly from the early 30's If you take sawdust and hide glue, pack it into an intricate mold and let dry it looks like a hand carving. It was usually applied and then given a coat of a dark brown lacquer toner. Its generally pretty stable...

i agree that any negative greatly emotions affect play and confidence is associated. although not always possible, avoiding the peripheral vision of the shooter helps the person. I try to recognize that and be polite about it. I dont want to win a game by using those sorts of tactics, I'm...

of course, but getting a grasp on why things work is also helful. I know some like to think more analytically. Often I find peope tell me things and it takes a while to grasp what they are saying then two days later during practicing I'tll come together and help a lot. I know my comments...

my take is centerball and no spin, not very too hard or the ball wont return at the correct angle, it will instead come out straighter than the inbound angle. easier to make a lighter shot than to compensate with spin. I'd go the other direction ( toward the head rail) thinking I'm...

drilling and threading it on my lathe makes more sense but Im not sure how to hold it without making up a steady rest and a tapered adapter. I can turn things between centers with a steady rest and a lathe dog,or maybe I can make my own tapered adapter that fits in a 4 jaw chuck so I can dial...

after I got laid the night before ;-)

I had some lines on my cloth that were not drawn quite right. it took some time but the light seems to be fading it. how about setting the cue where it can see some light when not in use? obviously you dont want to warp the cue but maybe under a strong LED light with thoughts of humidity...

Not calling out anyone in particular but some of the above posts are such a display of childish behavior that it seems to disqualify the original post's suggestion that pool is a good way of teaching etiquette :-) maybe martial arts then?

I'm wondering if the style of the rails , being squared off like a pool table and not rounded like a snooker table, indicates that it's been "updated" to play 8 ball etc. question: when did this style of ( square-ish ) rail first come into popularity? the legs and repwood "carvings"...
