Diamond Lights are also nice. I prefer green see through shades and 4 lamps. That's just me.

For $1,000 there is only so much you could get. A Walmart table new cost's around $1,000. You could look for a used one and get a pool going around the office where people donate money for you to get a better quality one. I have done tables in office's before her here Atlanta. And I wish I...

They ar peices of junk. It's probably one of the few tables where we tell the customer we can't make it play right. Or not for long. The cloth on it is also terrible. Every cloth that it came with had little bumps in it.

Well we know what Jesus shot with. I wonder what kind of table he had?

If you have a Gold Crown then you should be able to make the table perfectly level. It should be dead on. Also when you plane your slate. Check to see if you have pins connecting the slate. If you do it'd probably be best to call in a profesional. I actually busted part of the slate on my...

I've been a mechanic for 2 years. My first table with pins I cracked the slate. Luckily it wasn't too bad. And it wasn't simonis. I cracked mine becuase I forgot all about them because I was rushing all day and got impatient about putting my table together. But lesson learned. I've never...

I know what you are talking about. One day we had a T-rail we needed to set up that had a 8" long chunk missing that went to the edge of the table. We went to home depot and looked for the muscle man but they did not have it. We like the muscle man because it dries faster. With the...

Actually the laundry room is upstairs in the bonus room. And I have no wife. Live at home with parents. What I might end up doing is putting a 10ft Gandy snooker that our shop has in my bonus room. It probably will piss off my parents but we are wasting all that space with this just being a...

U-23s are generally for Coin-operated bar tables such as Valley and Dynamo. K-66s are your general cushion. I'd be careful about the K-66s for $50. They may not be great cushions.

With a fireplace if you can you want the fireplace to be on the side of the table. That way you are less likely to jump a ball into it. But there isn't a problem with having a fireplace in the room.

Actually this is my Parents Garage. I don't have any rent and they don't care what I do. So I said screw it. I'm staying. I'd never have room for a 9' table if I had an apartment. What is sad is I break all of the rules when it comes to pool tables. Today I was putting some shelving in for...

Do you mean cracks that go all the way through the slate? Or chunks missing from around the slate seams where the pins within the slate popped it. Sometimes wax can be used and is the best. Waterputty is ok but if you have a large enough area waterputty will crack. Bondo works best for large...

I use hands. Even on Simonis. If I'm having trouble getting a good grip my partner will pull on it and I'll put a few staples in. I have seen other mechanics at various pool halls use the stretcher thingy. And I have seen them have loose cloth also. I'm thinking it is from their technique...

Ok. Now I'm rested up. My big plans. I always grew up around cars. I love working on cars (As long as I'm not just doing it so it will run). My favorite thing to do is take a classic and put new blood into it. Or taking an old 69 Camaro and putting a 2003 corvette motor into it. Well I...

Last week I bought a table from a buddy of mine. The table is a Brunswick Gold Crown 3. It's in decent shape but I have big plans for it. I'll go into detail later. Right now I'm too tired. I did 4 tough jobs today plus my table. And our Box Truck basically blew up Friday. (For you deisel...

I work 6 days a week and average 3 pool table jobs a day. I've noticed here in Atlanta old antique tables can be highly valued. If they are in great condition it's nothing to see them go for $10,000 or more. I did an antique table from the mid 1800s if not earlier that was valued at $200k...

The only possible way I could think of would be to change the slate, frame, and rails. AKA get a new table. I really don't see how. 1 guess would be to make wide rails that come in 3 inches on the side and 6 inches on the end. I just think it would look weird. I would say smaller slate but...

That's funny with the trick ball. We do a lot of tables for "The Boys and Girls Club" in Georgia. They usually have coin-op tables. When we take the slate off we find all kinds of stuff in it. One table had thousands of dollars in playstation games. Along with other various toys. We did...

I forgot all about Country Rock. I haven't been there since I was 17. Except I think it was called Bumpers then. It was more like Country Rap then. You had slow country songs followed by old school ghetto booty shaking rap. If you are into drinking heavy then Downtown athens will have great...

Great to hear. My partner and I where speaking of old Pop's stories not to long ago. My buddy knew him real well because we would refelt all of Pops' tables every 6 months no matter what. Now that is love for the sport. 20some tables redone in Simonis every 6 months. I wish he never sold...
