    Babe Cranfield Stories

    I'm curious if anyone has any good stories about Babe Cranfield. He was from my area (Syracuse, NY), so I've heard some. But, I would like to learn more. I've heard that he used to be able to stack an entire rack of balls in one hand. A friend of mine used to rack for him. This gentleman...

    Rhino Jump Cue vs. Cuetec Propel Jump Cue

    Has anyone tried both, and can offer feedback? I watched Karl Boyes' video, comparing the Predator Air Rush vs. Cuetec Propel. From his feedback, I feel that I would prefer the Propel, as I am more of a dart stroke jumper. I already have a Gulyassy Reaper jump cue, which has served me quite...

    Sub-Rail Modification Tooling

    We often talk about modifying sub-rails on these old Gold Crown tables. However, not much is shared about how the work is performed.. While some use more or less sophisticated tooling, I figured I would share what I have been using. These tools are all purpose built. I keep all of these tools...

    Snapmaker 2.0

    I'm curious if any of you have looked into the new Snapmaker 2.0? It looks like a very versatile CNC machine. Mostly intended for hobby use, it looks like it could be easily modified to perform some light cue inlay work. The 3d printing feature also allows the ability to print custom jigs and...

    I have a customer that is looking to sell this table. I have scoured the Brunswick Antique site, and cannot determine a model for this table.. I'm hoping that someone here may have some idea of a value. I have my own thoughts, but I'd like to get some other opinions. Also, any idea if the cues...

    Any New Ideas for Fixing Broken Slates?

    A while back, I converted a 5x10 Gold Crown Billiard table into a pocket table. Unfortunately, the table had to be disassembled after only about 3 months of use. The table has been in storage for the past several months, though I just received word last night, that someone had moved the slates...

    5x10 Brunswick Gold Crown Carom to Pocket Conversion

    I finally got some 'Finished' pictures of one of my latest projects: A customer of mine wanted a 5x10 pocket table. The only 5x10 table that we could find locally, was a Gold Crown Carom table. The table was stored in the backroom of a poolhall, with less than desirable conditions. The roof had...
