    How to clean pool balls?

    Thanks! I just wish I had that advice earlier. It didn't seem to harm them, but I will not be washing them that way again. Will it cause any long term damage from the wash I did today? I think I will try the products you recommended and them go for the Aramith when I can.

    How to clean pool balls?

    I tried the dishwasher idea for whitening the balls. I won't do it again. This did not whiten them at all. It didn't seem to clean them either. The cue ball still has some chalk scuff marks. I may break down in a few weeks and buy some Aramith cleaner. But for now; does anyone have some ideas?

    How to clean pool balls?

    Ok, I made a bucket polisher using a 5-gallon bucket and a 10" orbital buffer. Lots of videos of these on youtube and they seem to work great. I found a used set of Aramith Premier balls that I am super excited to have found. They are very yellow. I know that higher end pool balls are not...

    Wooden bead scorer question

    Okay if you buy a score hanging kit it comes with two screw in hooks, turnbuckle, steel cable, and crimp on ferrules. I guess I could always go to the local hardware store again are piece together what the kit comes with. Nylon coated cable would be better though.

    Wooden bead scorer question

    I'm still kinda thinking of doing a wall mount though. I like the idea of not putting holes in my ceiling right now. Although... if I just did the ceiling thing it would be MUCH easier. Any ideas for a wall mount?

    Wooden bead scorer question

    Very true! :thumbup: I actually have plains drawn out for my own stained glass table lamp. It's a rough sketch though and I won't get to the project for a while.

    Wooden bead scorer question

    Okay, this is actually a harder project then I thought. I went to Home Depot today and after spending an hour in the store, I bought steel wire (not rod) that's bendable but takes a lot to bend it and mounting hardware for the back of the board if I mount these to a board. I couldn't figure out...

    Rookies Guide to Pool Table Maintenance book?

    LOL :lmao: yeah this is how I do most of the things I do. But I really want these books to get a better understanding on things like refinishing and refelting. Who knows, maybe I'll make a career out of it. I've seen a few places online where I can buy each of these books for around $35. I'd...

    Unique ball storage chest

    Yeah, I need to make final measurements before I make it for that very reason. You need to have a little toe room when playing. I agree on the table too. But what do I know? I like Valley coin-op tables and think they look really great once they're all restored and shined up. Never been a...

    Wooden bead scorer question

    Good idea about the spring! Thanks! I was thinking of ideas and I wondered if I could feed a steel wire through the middle of a string so it'll have strength and look more classic.
