That is sooo cool. Really enjoyed the pictures.

Arron I have no answer for you regarding tables. I had just driven through there 2 weeks ago and the thread caught my eye. As I have considered moving to ID and am also from the LA area I would be curious to know how well you did after the first winter. Anyway good luck and study hard at U of...

Congratulations, that was incredible. Hope it was the first of many. Steve

Thanks all for the great advice! So much so, I can't thank everybody. This is exactly why I frequent this forum. I've learned so much in one day it's amazing. The videos were a big help and I will pick up a book or two. Yes, SF, I learned how to stick the ball to the stack with great...

I have always read suggestions on this forum stating that practicing straight pool would help improve CB control and position play. I have no doubt this is true, yet somehow have never got around to it. In a recent thread BBB suggested to start with only six balls including the break ball...

FS5, Nice find. Like Jay said, you can clean it up quite a bit yourself and play it as is or have a big project on your hands. I'm no expert but it looks like you have wood rails so that puts it pre 1955ish. There is a sticker on the pedestals, could you post a picture of that? Does it have a...

Happy Birthday Jim! Still loving my cue, thanks, Steve

Great Job, thanks for posting. I was wondering how you were going to get things apart. Steve

I think there exists a multitude of factors that make a table play well. I had a furniture table and decided against tightening up the pockets when I was rolling balls against one long rail, while kneeling and resting my chest against the other long rail. I could feel the rail/table move when...

In my area the APA pays the bar/poolhall owner $2 for green fees/person. So 5 people play per night, which results in $10 for the owner, to use the table for approximately 5 hours($2/hr). No business could stay afloat on that alone. Hell, minimum wage here just went to $10/hr, and is on it's...

Mr. Page, Thanks for the Fargo Rate system and the results you posted look fantastic, very impressive. As DRV4 stated, I too wish the APA would use your system.

Robin, The rent at $3/sq foot is not for the year, but rather the month. $2600x3=$7800 a month not, $650 a month. Frequently when these things come up I'm reminded of a friend who just got his MBA and started a Mom and Pop business out of 1000 sf. After he went under, he said it was...

Absolutely beautiful, enjoy and keep the bangers away.

Cornerman, Just wanted to say that I enjoy your commentary. Hope to hear more from you. Steve

Don't put them in the dishwasher-don't ask how I know.

Any Idea what the seating will be like for this event? Last event I attended in Vegas you pretty much had to stand on the top row of the bleachers to see. It got old fast. Thanks, Steve

Glen, As usual, those tables look fantastic and I'm sure they play the same. You are the Man, Steve

B and O, Go ahead and give the APA a try. Generally considered a beginner league. There will most likely be people below and at your level. Further, because of the way teams are handicapped (the 23 rule) you will be a highly sought after player. Good luck and have fun. Steve

First, Wow, incredible work, gorgeous table and I'm sure it plays perfect. Second, Jay call anytime. Steve

Glen, Please accept my condolences to you and your family. I have always felt grateful I was able to be there for both my parents at the end, and hoped in some way made their passing easier for them, and I'm sure that was the case for your Mom. I wish you all the best in these tough times and...
