Link doesn't work.

I'm talking about in my living room. In a pool room with live action, yeah, people can get a little excited, but when I'm at home I don't think I can get a group of guys to sit around and watch pool. The "spectucular" plays aren't that spectacular, they are just great pool which us players can...

I have searched and can't find any DIY plans for building a light. Any links? I'd be interested in building a nice light for my table. I thought about buying the ebay fixtures, but if I can make something nicer I'll do it. If not, I'll buy the Ebay one because I figure it's just a light...

I think it really just comes down to the fact that pool is boring. It's repetitive and it's boring. I enjoy the cathartic nature of the game, but it's not really something that the general public is going to get excited about ever again in the states. You aren't going to have people from...

You've got a better shot than I've got out here. The rent out here is prohibitive. I don't know HOW Shooters (local joint out here) can possibly be making it in a city of about 300,000 and having 20+ tables. He must have a sweet deal on the rent for his location, because retail places out...

I'm not terribly familliar with the OKC pool playing scene, but if you want to be a pool hall feel and less of a bar feel, why 8-10 bar boxes and only 1-2 full size tables?

I understand where you are coming from. I would introduce my child to the game of pool. I do love it, and I'd be happy if they did too. I just think that people are often quick to blame video games and television for the pitfalls of poor parenting. Yes, we have all seen how video games have...

So you wouldn't have your kids sitting around all day playing video games or watching TV (both of which can be very educational with proper parental guidance), you would have them sit around all day playing pool? Is the hope that someday they will grow up to hang out in seedy bars and gamble...

I give you credit for wanting to save this poor tables life. I don't know why you are going through all of this hassle at this time, but to each their own. You can pick up pool tables right now at fire sale prices. It would take a lot less time and money to just patiently look and wait for...

That's an interesting point. Really the only other places I play are Sharky's (nice tables BTW), and Plush Pocket in the valley. Living where I do I'm stuck with Shooters and that place is a sh*thole with junk tables and an asshole for an owner. I refuse to walk in there anymore and with...

I have contacted SDBilliards and we worked out an agreement. I can't tell you how thankful I am for all of the responses and for pointing me in the right direction. I know it's kind of a stickling point and that most would probably just install K-55's or K-66's, but the K-66's seem wrong...

I am in Santa Clarita, Ca. Anyone have any idea what this rail modification should/would cost? I'd like to get it done the right way, but I feel a little stuck on this one. He's coming by tomorrow to finish up a couple of things and I'll have to talk to him about this rail situation. If he...

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't help clear up any confusion at all. I suppose the answer is that the subrails need to be cut back to fit new k55 rails, but k66 is a close match out of the box sorta speak? My table mechanic seems pretty knowledgeable, but he doesn't seem to savvy to this...

What a confusing endeavor. I didn't realize it was going to be so complicated. It seems obvious to me that the profile on k-66 is off. I haven't really ever dealt with k-55 in the past. K-66 looks too short if that makes any sense. It seems like the playing surface will be larger than it...

I just purchased a Gold Crown I and I'm trying to figure out what rails should go on the table. I believe it came with K=55's, but there is so much conflicting information out there. I'd like to put it back the way it was intended to be.

I am currently in the market for a Gold Crown. I would really like a GC3 and I believe that I found one on Craigslist. I took a look at it yesterday. The table appears to be in great shape and seems well kept. The only thing that struck me as odd was that the entire bottom of the table is...
