And you pay for what you can afford. Don't get me wrong; I want more than anything to put Artemis K66 and Simonis 860HR on this table but I can't drop that much right now. So I'm considering Gorina Basalt and a good cushion that's close in comparison to Artemis. I've heard a fair amount of...

I've heard Black Diamond cushions mentioned in high regard on here in a few threads. I can't seem to find anything on them. Anyone know where to buy or more information on them? I hear they are nearly as good as Artemis.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. I've only ever assembled it by putting the rails on and then the aprons last.

Very nice! :thumbup:

Can anyone share some useful tips for fine tuning the rails? I am having trouble getting the rails and aprons lined up. Also, I've heard and read that the rails and aprons can be assembled upside-down as a whole unit and flipped over to be installed. Is this really a good idea? I would worry...

@tommyceilings: cheers from the other side of the globe! :D NY is probably one of the best places to find Russian Billiards. But out here on the west coast there is nothing. Maybe in California but not Washington. Too bad... :( Strickland is good. I like Willie Mosconi also.

I've learned a TON since posting this topic. Both on here from helpful folks as well as doing my own research. Please excuse my early ignorance on this topic. It is now my dream to own a full sized 12ft Russian table. I have a passion for this sport and would love to learn how to play. Sadly...

Yeah, if I ever have that much space! lol A man can dream, right? But it doesn't hurt to look for tables. Heck I knew a guy who had a few tables in his garage. I think one may have been a Brunswick Centennial. But I'd LOVE to have the space for all those different style tables but I've been...

I am just starting to look but I am interested in finding a full sized 10' Carom table, 12' Snooker table, and 12' Billiard (Pyramid) table. Anywhere in Washington state, Northern Oregon or Idaho.

Thought I'd share some cool things 10ft Gandy Big G Snooker table Gandy Big G Carom tables

I’ve heard from many sources that Gandy didn’t make their rails right at the factory. You can absolutely see a sharp change in the rail where the rubber is. I will try pulling the cloth and take my own measurements. So far as I know, the rubber is the original installed rubber. It is rock hard...

I have read a few things on here about Gandy rails being incorrect. They seem to sit too low and cause the balls to hop. I would like to have my rails professionally modified before installing new cushions (and new cloth!). I’d like to know all your thoughts, advice, and information on this.

There are always better ways of doing something as it seems. I recently learned to use 3/4" plastic hanger straps to make a finished edge on pockets. (Thank you Glen!) It's a sharp idea as it covers the staples under the cloth. But it's got me wondering; does anyone have any tricks for fixing...

After doing a bit of research, this would take quite a bit of tweaking and I'm not sure it would fit under my table. I don't wish to modify my table either. Plus these fittings are quite a bit at Home Depot and my local store only has ABS in 3" which is quite expensive as well. On the other...

I have a 9' Gandy Big G Limited that I am fixing up. Love the table! But it needs new cloth, cushions, and a few other missing parts replaced. One thing I'd like to do is replace the missing ball return system. There is evidence that there was once a ball return track mounted and Ken Hush has...

Can anyone with a Gandy Big G tell me the length of these metal posts? Without them, the plastic ball shelf on mine flexes and I am having trouble taking an accurate measurement.

@ TX poolnut - Cheers to that! I like billiards but I didn't start building up a game room to only play pool! :D man I'll have to save up for one of those nice roulette wheels on there. They do have nice folding craps/roulette mats on there that could work well on a pool table

I'm going to answer my own question because I have found a wonderful place for home casino gear: spinettisgaming.com

Does anyone know where I can find casino game inserts for my pool table? 9' would be awesome if they make such a thing. I like to use the hell out of my pool table as it's the center piece in my game room and sometimes I like to (gasp) play something other than billiards. I know I know, why...

Yeah, seyberts is the only place I know that sells them. I heard Glenn uses a unique trick for doing pockets that looks really nice. If I have the cash right now I'd just order a new set off seyberts but money is tight right now...
