Hello everyone. I hope I posted in the correct area for my question. I have a few old cues that I really want to freshen up so that I can play with them and add them to my permanent collection. Can you guys recommend someone good in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that does this type of work and...

My humble offering There are some really great looking home pool rooms in this thread. Because mine is not nearly of the same caliber I'm a little hesitant to post my room, but I figured I'm fairly new to AZ forums and this would be as good a way to introduce myself as any I suppose.

and make sure it's the blue loctite, not the red stuff. Blue is for fasteners that will need to be removed at some point in the future.

almost, too bad because the price was great! I found this just a little while ago. Too bad when they emailed back that it was a standard 8 foot Olhausen table that the set was from. Hey if someone in the area needs a set like this.......Twenty five dollars is a steal! See link, if the ad is...

photos of the old 9 foot table/slates Below are photos of the 9 footer before I disassembled the frame and moved it inside for safe keeping. Those cracks around the dowel pin are only part of the problem because 2 of the 3 sections have cracks running from one edge to another and I think one...

photo of the oversize 8 slates Below is the photo of the foot end slate with the one crack closest to the camera. you can even see the edge of the crack on the side if you look closely. Someone had previously patched the crack but they did not get the playing surface on both sides of the crack...

Very interesting video, thanks. Makes me wish I could fly to Brazil with my slates and run them through the low tolerance surfacer. I am going to post some photos tonight to help illustrate what is going on with these 2 sets of slates. Thanks again to everyone who is helping me. I'm sure I'll...

Thank you to everyone who replied. It is going to help me as I weigh my options and look for the funds.

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I agree the smart thing to do is replace the slates on both tables. I am, however, not exactly flush for cash so I was just kicking some ideas around. If they have to be replaced I think I can make that happen at some point. In the mean time I at least have a...

Thanks, you could PM me a price or just post right here how much you are looking for to buy the set. 1" thick, 3 piece right? Backing frame?

Thanks for the reply. Yes with all the granite countertops that can be seen in kitchens these days I had actually thought about talking to a supplier or contractor. I guess tolerances are the big question. I also guess that maybe no one reading this has actually had, or tried to have, a set of...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I had found their website and I was planning on purchasing a nameplate and diamond sights from Classic Billiards. I aquired the table without a nameplate and missing/chipped sights. I was wanting to see if he was the only one out there in the lower 48 that I could turn...

Hello all, brand new here and joined because of this section of the forum (and my overall interest in the game of pool). I am wondering if anyone here would have an answer for these two questions. Thanks. 1: Does anyone know of anyone having taken old slate(s) that is still intact and having a...
