10’ Brunswick Centennial Restoration Progress

I got a table for my wife ……. Best trade I made in a whileSo far, my wife won’t agree to two tables set up at once...unreasonable!
I have a 9 foot GCIII at home.Thanks! No, I still have the Ultimate. That’s set up right now while the Centennial is being finished. That Ultimate has been a great table, really enjoy playing on it. I’m going to have the cushions replaced and maybe have the pockets tightened once the Centennial is ready. I’m the domestic battle to get more territory in my house! So far, my wife won’t agree to two tables set up at once...unreasonable!
My dream would be to have a top quality regulation heated 3 cushion table also.
My wife would have no problem with that but I do not have the room.
I’ve got a dream; two story oversized garage with a 3C and 9’ table next to each other. My own little pool room
I have a similar dream.
Hope your dreams come true.
I am running out of time.
Do it if you can.
My dream is a 9 foot Pro -Am with a tournament quality heated 10' 3c table and a tournament quality 12' snooker table

I played on a 7 foot pro-am for the first time this fall on a trip to Tennessee, those things are a blast! Great table. I like the full size pro-am’s also. I talked with Diamond during the Derby City about the ten footer they used in the big foot challenge. That’s a cool table.

Room is definitely the issue. I enjoy the pool hall, always try to support local pool halls. I like playing in tournaments, but it’s nice to have tables at home. For me, of course it’s nice to practice, but it’s almost meditative. It’s a great mental exercise. For space, I have converted my garage to a billiard room. I have another space in my house that is large enough for a full snooker table, but my wife and daughters are not agreeable as of yet. I’ve actually looked at leasing commercial space locally, relatively inexpensive commercial warehouse type space. I’ve also thought of doing a small private club, almost like a co-op with similar billiard enthusiasts; definitely not a pool hall, but a private commercial setting with members that would contribute to table restoration and maintenance. Maybe host invitational high payout tournaments with streaming? But, no way around it, this would be a cost, I can’t really think of a viable business model that would cover costs for commercial space. But, might be something I do in the future. I am also thinking of doing a steel building on 5 acres that I have locally for my tables, but those steel building kits have skyrocketed in price with the current b.s economic situation.
I've played on that Diamond at the Expo.
Great table.
Imagine the old greats playing on 10 footers all of the time.
