    Bar table pool vs. big table pool

    8' is the best some of us can get (at least I have a home table) but the 8' haters point is well taken, however, I made my pockets a little over 4" and armed it with Artemis cushions and 860 cloth. Now when I play on 9'ers with 4.5" pockets, it plays so much easier. With all that said, IF I had...

    Redoing my table on my own because I want to learn.

    I rebuilt my table as well, I used the RKC method in extending my sub-rails. My table is made out of oak so I used oak for my extension. Now, I am no mechanic but since the extension is also covered with the rubber cushion facing I am not sure it matters but I chose hardwood. I glued and pin...

    Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) for measuring table "toughness"

    New guy here! The wife let me get a used table. I rebuilt it and extended the sub-rails ala RKC! His tutorial was incredibly helpful. I had to bargain with the wife for real estate, we settled on an 8’ table and it had pockets as big as the Grand Canyon. I wanted to make it tougher so when I...

    Buying from Amazon / Ebay

    Billiard City is top notch in my book. I recently acquired a used pool table that needed a rebuild. I bought my Artemis cushions, Simonis cloth and some cushion facings from them. Fast shipping and a great transaction. Where they shined is, I decided to use a thicker facing and needed to return...

    Grizzly G0602

    That is a great point. If you are getting lots of goodies like tooling and holders etc. that sweetens the deal. The other thing to consider is moving/shipping costs. That lathe is 432lbs so not too bad. The nice thing about getting it from Grizzly is that will most likely be shipped FEDEX/UPS...

    Grizzly G0602

    I would say not a good deal because you can get it for $2100 from Grizzly https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly-10-x-22-benchtop-metal-lathe/g0602 I do not make cues but I have the G0776 and it is a fantastic machine. Grizzly makes good stuff and they have outstanding customer service.

    SIMONIS FUZZ

    New guy here! I just recently acquired and rebuilt a table and installed 860. I noticed that it was getting the fuzz and thought, that can't be right. Of course AZB had the answer. Called Simonis, they asked me to reach out to the retailer, Billiard City. Eugene over there was awesome and had a...

    New Here? - Introduce Yourself
