    4x8 gold crown 1 in Florida ends in 10 min. Only $100

    Seriously! Same here, That's under half the price I picked up mine for a month ago, someone sure did get a great deal. I guess I shoulda held out! I'm pretty happy with mine tho.

    Introducing myself

    The table finally got set up yesterday. Looks great imo. Not my first choice for pockets but they were only $50. I'll replace them with a better looking set sometime in the future. There was apparently a mix-up with the Simonis distributor, as when they picked up my cloth they brought 760...

    Introducing myself

    Thank you sir. I think we'll get along just fine. May I ask what CTE is? I've gotta catch myself up on all the AZB acronyms. I am but a humble newb. Duly noted! Would you guys believe it? My wife actually picked tournament green on her own with no influence from me. I knew I picked me...

    Introducing myself

    At this point I've gotta say complete rookie. It's been quite a while since I've picked up a cue stick - several years realistically. I played quite a bit while I was going to USF, but I'm not a fan of either of the two pool halls near me. One you can barely breathe in and the other I haven't...

    Introducing myself

    Here's the table as it sits right now (pics below). Gonna pull the slates back and install the liquid dowel. Then re-level, bolts slates down and get the bondo done tonight. If all goes well. After reading more threads I'm unsure of which cloth to get. I don't know if I want 860, 860HR...

    Introducing myself

    Thanks for the welcomes guys. I looked thru the Talk to a Mechanic section and dug a little deeper. I think a found a few answers to some of my questions. And thanks for the insight on letting the wife pick the colors. I narrowed down to the suggested colors best for play, she understood...

    Liquid dowel and slate seam questions

    Quoting perfectpockets in an old thread: Also quoting liquid dowels instructions: If I read these right, I simply slip in a few business cards in between the slate joints. Slide the slates together, apply super glue to the top of the card and let it soak down to the bottom, then level and...

    Table cloth stretching/install

    Rellek, would THIS be the video you're talking about? I'm a newbie here so don't yet recognize the names Glen and Jay.

    Table cloth stretching/install

    I've pretty much decided to go with Simonis 860 for my 8' table. I was wanting to go a bit cheaper - ProForm or similar - but think I'll just bite the bullet and go with the good stuff, since I'm saving labor costs by attempting to do everything myself. But being my first table set up...

    Liquid dowel and slate seam questions

    I recently posted in my intro thread I've been setting up the used table I picked up. The slate is installed and leveled to the best of my ability with the tools at my disposal. And I did a simple rolling the cue ball along the table, and it seems to roll true without any direction or speed...

    Introducing myself

    I actually do have a few more questions on the liquid dowels in between the slates. I didn't do that because I didn't find any info on it until after I had the slates leveled and screwed down already. But the cloth is not down yet so I can still loosen things up and get things right before...

    Introducing myself

    Introducing myself - table done - pics added Hello to all. I figured I'd introduce myself and hope to learn more about pool, the game, tables, and maybe even meet a few ppls. I've wanted a pool table since I was 5 or 6 years old and finally bought one a few days ago, surprisingly with the...
