Thank you all for the replies on this. It sounds like my original instinct was correct, and I may in fact look at re-carpeting the room using a cool tone. I must add that I also do not care to set a table on a carpet for level reasons but eventually it would settle into place. I personally...

Someone does NOT like salespeople-

I have heard of ozone generators being effective for removing malodors in auto vehicles, I suppose if you enclosed the case inside a box with one of these it would do the job. The disadvantage of ozone generators and some other odor neutralizers is that they tend to bleach out the colors of...

As I am currently about 2.875 steps away from purchasing a Diamond nine-footer for my basement, one of the decisions I need to make is the color of the cloth. This isn't as easy as I first thought. From an aesthetic point of view, the logical choice would be to choose a cloth color that is in...

Interesting question. I think slate may have better dimensional stability than steel WRT temperature and warpage. One could possibly make a table bed from Invar- a very low-expansion alloy- but the cost would be astronomical. I don't know how a steel bed would sound, either; jump shots might...

I do NOT like aluminum cues. Haven't seen them in quite a while, either, which is just fine with me.

There are other variants, e.g., "nitesque", "nitoid", "uber-nit", "nittle", and so on :)

As Doc Hudson in 'Cars' would say, "You got a lot of stuff, soldtonight."

Yep- link works like a champ.

Above linky no worky. As a postscript, I really enjoy your very informative videos on YouTube! Makes me want to visit Fargo Billiards all the more.

RATS! I scheduled my vacation ***beginning*** July 23rd... bummer. My Honda Civic won't go fast enough, either. My old '77 Chevy 454 pickup certainly will, but the gas mileage is downright atrocious (10 highway and 7 around town). If I were more comfortable flying I would strongly consider it...

All I can say is WOW- your table is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful.

I should pay a visit to my cousin in Fargo sometime and check out Fargo Billiards- and drop in and see my relatives in New Effington, SD as well - and maybe schedule it around Labor Day (maybe next year???) so I can check out the steam exhibit in Rollag, MN! Such a vacation would be MOST fun.

I am also glad to have been part of this, and my congratulations to soldtonight as well! I really hope and pray for the best for Tessa and her family.

The pool hall about 100 miles from me charges $2.50/hour/person from 1200 to 1800 (6 PM) and $5.00/hour/person from 1800 to closing. Well worth the drive as the folks who run it are truly first-class and the tables play true and tight IMO. OT but I love 24-hour time.

Thank you for the info, Bob, and cuebuddy for the snapshot. WAY cool. Maybe Saluc could make them as a limited edition of their "Stone" series...! I would just LOVE to have a set, or ultimately, my own pool hall with them ("Rome Night" :))

I would probably write it "IV" but I think you are also correct in that it can be written "IIII". The IX and XI balls would need to have underlines for the color-blind folks like me (mainly red for me, though)...

I seem to recall reading in a book MANY years ago that in fact english is strictly "lefty righty", as Thunderball puts it. For the life of me, though, I can't remember where I read it- it was that long ago... >= 30 years I would guess.

I agree with Dave, the quality is likely not the very greatest given the price. I wish Saluc made a set of Aramiths with Roman numerals- IMO that would be cool. "VIII in the corner"...

"Honey, I know our budget is tight so I bought this 'factory second' table and I just set it up..."
