the emperor has no clothes Hi, I'm extremely grateful for the stream. It's a huge effort to pull this off. The quality of the stream seems very good. However, in my opinion, the current host should not be at the microphone. Having a professional caliber announcer and a knowledgeable color...

light height My 4x8 foot Diamond light hangs 40" above the rails. It seem to work well. No one bumps into it and it doesn't seem oppressive over the table. The light is diffused by the fixture. The height doesn't effect diffusion significantly with this fixture, just intensity.... lower...

Hi, I would suggest 1/4" for the top with 3 or 4@ 1"x4" braces running across the short dimension. Secure your fixtures to these and hang your chain or rod from these as well. I'd also suggest that you use 3'/4" plywood for the side. Painting the interior white will help to even out the...

Hi there, I have an older Diamond. It uses 4 full sized diffusers [24"x48"'] . This gives an area of 48" x 96". The overall dimensions are an additional 4", approximately. This will allow you to cut from full sheet plywood and add corner blocks. I'd use the full size grids as a starting...

and the other end goes? Not mentioned thus far.... These are designed to fit into the jaws of a bit brace.

I don' think Mark Twain has showed up here yet.... "The game of billiards has destroyed my naturally sweet disposition."

the most exacting tolerances Despite all their talk of precision, I was hard pressed to find any indication of their tolerances... weight or diameter or the 5 other parameters they mention. I hope others respond with some hard information. I'm curious. This all started when I noticed some...

Well... it used to be my home town. I stand corrected. After my family died or moved I returned less frequently. I've only been back a handful of times since the early 80s. I don't remember the pool room. Do you have an idea when it opened and what the location housed before it was West End? I...

my home town Hi, Is the address listed as Westfield Avenue on the program?.... I'm testing my memory! I think this was right near the corner of Morris Avenue and Westfield Avenue. If that's the address, many years earlier[late 70s], it had been the location of Palmer after the company expanded...

Hi, There was a chalk board at Carom with a list of matches that were available on DVD for purchase. I just glanced at it, but the take away was> they will be available.... I think the price was $10 per match. Mail order after the fact may be handled differently. Dave

Mark and Jay thank you both! Here's a thanks to you both. I'm grateful for the excellent work you performed on my Anniversary. Mark, the rails are the best I've seen.... and like you say, "perfectpocketz". Jay, the set up and cloth are perfect as well... and you made it all happen! Your...

I'd say it looks like a serious restoration project rather than a great one. ... but that may be a glass half empty. Mark Gregory said to me about my rails.... "It wasn't the money table". ... if you know what I mean. good luck Dave

the marketing department says how about... de facto 14.1 World Championship

Tennis anyone? I can see it now> The #7 train will be packed>>> folks in tennis whites headed to that other US Open..... and then those dressed in black with dark sunglasses... headed to the real US Open. Well... they'll both be playing on Tournament Blue, if you're looking for common...

Hi GC, I sent you a private message. Give a shout when you have a minute and I'll fill you in... and digress... and then digress again. Dave

All these years I've been saying "measure twice, cut once".... I'm not sure I can switch to "measure four times, draw once".

contact cement rollers covers I did some production plastic laminate work years ago [pray for my liver]. I'll offer my opinion. It sounds like you're using solvent based contact cement. I's a good idea to wear a respirator> 3M makes a nice one with a comfortable face piece and head bonnet...

Hey there GC, Nicely done. You must be pleased. It's been helpful and encouraging to see and hear your progress on the table. I appreciate all the time you've spent documenting your project and keeping us up to date. .... looking forward to seeing those rail sights glow! Thanks, Dave

You may want to check in on main forum with this question. Home or commercial? There are a few commercial machines.... ya got ± 800 bucks? Try searching the topic... there have been several threads about ball cleaning. Additionally, YouTube has videos on how to construct a light duty ball...

blinds Hey there GC, Things are moving along. It's looking good! You'd figure this out in short order, I'm sure. But ..... I think you have the later figure 8 plates on your rails. In that case, blinds attach with short machine bolts through that blocking on the backside. The plates on the...
