My Nephew and I went to Richardson today to play Pool at a room called the Billiard Den. Got to play on a 9 ft. Gold Crown 1 with Pro Tight Pockets, it was a blast!!! I had been there once before about 10 years ago. It was really nice to be back in that kind of environment again, if only for a...

Short answer - NO!!

Well 1st of all it was 11 years ago. Back then the rails weren't dead or I would have had him replace them then (Should have anyway now that I look back on it). Yes he did inform me of the missing Rail Bolt but we made it be the middle bolt of the foot rail and it really wasn't much of an issue...

Nope can't afford Simonis!! It's going to be same as before, Championship Tour Edition, Camel, It's a light tan/brownish color about the same color as the wood of a shaft.

1 step forward, 2 steps back Got word yesterday that DFW Billiards had finished replacing the Rubber and Cloth on my Rails. They came this morning to take the old cloth off and level the slate, recover and reassemble. We got to the part of recovering and when they stretched out the new cloth...

Old Cloth Said Bye Bye to the old cloth today!! Such a shame, it was still in really good condition even after 11 years.

Will post more photos of the progress when the Rails are ready and DFW Billiards comes back to put it all back together!! By the way the Tech from DFW Billiards is called Robert "The Mailman" any of you know anything about him? When he was here earlier today he seemed pretty cool and knowledgeable.

Photo now broke down. Here's a photo of it Now after I had broke down the Rails and side Skirts getting the Rails ready to go off to DFW Billiards for the new Rubber.

The After Installation Photos 11 years ago Cleaned up pretty well didn't it, looks nice all clean with new Championship Tour Edition Cloth (Sahara Color). Just wish we had done the Rubber on the Rails then, but it needs a recover now anyway so might as well fix the Dead Rails, and any and all...

The Before Photos From 11 years ago These are the photos of my Table in the Tejano Pool Room where I got it. You can see how Filthy it was and the crappy Cloth it was covered with. Notice in the Disassembly photo the Very Solid Frame, all real solid wood beams!!! and the 1 inch Slate. it was...

I bought my Table about 11 years ago, it's an 8 ft. "Olio" (Chinese Brand). My understanding is that they make Clones of the Brunswick Gold Crowns. I know some of the History of this Table, it was originally in a Room called Pugsley's Library in Dallas off of Walnut Hill in the mid 90's, then...

I have a Schon SL 7 that I purchased in 1989 or 1990 that after several years I had to send back to Schon for a Refinish and ReWrap as it had gotten a couple of good scratches in the Finish. I got it back from them within 2 - 3 weeks all nice shiny and new looking. Paid upon Receipt!! In 2000 I...

Lady in Red My Favorite Pool Art, "Lady in Red" by Draw Shots. You can find it on "Fine Art America"

Well in the words of Mark Twain - "I've never killed a man, but I've read many an obituary with a great deal of satisfaction" This would have been a classier way of saying you disliked the man! Sure Buddy was a con-man, most traveling players trying to make a living on the road that came up...

Oh man, more bad news, I just read about Bob Vanover's Health problems, and now I hear that Buddy has passed away. If you read my post about Bob Vanover you'll see that when I played him I was just getting it together, well Buddy was the one that was helping me, I was taking a few lessons from...

So Sad to hear this news! I got to play Bob once in a tournament at CJ's in Dallas back in the mid 90's I think, Losers bracket final, he beat the pants off of me (LOL) with class though, Gentleman through and through, was even offering me pointers and instructions as we played, at that time I...

Predator Cues This is going to sound like I have a real axe to grind with Predator, when actually I don't, I have 2 of their Cues right now An LE-III and an SP8RJ. Talking about "high end production cues having no value", you have to mention 'Predator', they seem to have reached a point where...

["I called Schon one day and asked them if they would build me a cue. One of the features I like on my cue is a screw in extension. I was told, "But we don't make our cues with screw in extensions."] ["Does that sound like a custom cue maker to you?"] I found Schon Cues and Evan Clark to be...

Yep, I forgot that one, but I was just giving examples.
