A FAR Cry from the 8' Sears Brand Pool Table...

Well these past 3 Months have been long ones but on Thursday 2/21 Glen (TheRealKingCobra) came to Boise ID and began setting up my Gold Crown IV. I had no idea what I was in for!

If there was a Pool Table Mechanic God I think Glen may very well be it! I remember when first talking to Glen, he said my Ebonite 8' table was a peice of crap and to either throw it away or try and sell it. My heart dropped! I had just gotten the table that day and I knew it was true but hey I had a table. Well turns out the table did my game NO good at all! Glen saved the day and made it possible for me to get a table out of Spokane WA. I found this Gem on Craigslist in Spokane for $1500. I thought it was to good to be true but it wasnt! Called Glen and he said you are steeling it at $1500. I fought the crappy weather to get there and brought it back but like I said it was well worth it. When Glen started to tear into it he noticed that it had never been reclothed before, this table was almost brand new! Well I will let the pictures do the talking from here...

Anyone who gets a chance to have Glen work on their table is going to be VERY happy!

PS: Thanks again Glen! Anytime you are in Boise please let me know so I can have you throw some K55 on and tighten her up :D!
 
good god.. for only 1500. you got an amazing deal and had an excellent person do the work. That's nice. Enjoy it.

Seems like it'll be cold out there though.
 
Someone had a thread about Ernesto, showing some of his work. Then Glen came in the thread and started trash talking Ernesto, out of jealousy. He got slammed by everyone HARD. Of course he stopped his trash talking when he realized he pissed off the entire AZB forum.

Maybe Ernesto or Oscar should come in here and start trash-talking Glenn. Oh no, they wouldn't do that. Wanna know why? Because they have CLASS.
 
1500???? wow you robbed someone, with the economy going the way its going alot of good deal will pop up, thats a brand new table worth many times that, good for you, enjoy

Saurus,
My impression of that thread was totally different.

I thought Glen just pointed out in a very polite way that Ernesto's work on a specific brand of table was non-standard (as it definitely is). Such tables will play differently (and it may be that many players like it that way). I thought he was very respectful to Ernesto; it is good for people to know.

Such discourse did not meet my definition of "trash talking".
 
You know I am not a bragger but next to the other guy that Glen set a Diamond up here in Boise for I would have to say this is the 2nd best playing table in Boise :D. I swear when I walk into my garage now I have to pinch myself to make sure Im not dreaming :). As far as being cold, it really is not that bad at all. Its all insulated and I have a propane heater that heats it up right quik. Ask Glen, he kept *****ing that it was to hot in there haha.
 
Very nice. It deserves better than what looks like a crowded garage. If you don't have the room I guess you have to come up with a creative way to have a table. It sure beats having to go and pay at a PH. Do you have to open the door for a break shot? One advantage I see is with the door open you can get a lot of pick up games from people walking by.
 
Nice work, I just did 3 olhousens, and I know what kind of work is envolved, he took his time, and it show's..

SPINDOKTOR
 
Nope dont have to open the garage door. Plenty of room! Stays very warm in there just ask Glen :). Will be doing night playing during the summer.

This thing has been resolved and is done.... I think we can move on now.

saurus, you're such a baby:p The problem you have, is you don't want to accept reality! I ended that post you're talking about with pictures of my work, only to show you and everyone else, that I AM on the same level as Ernesto when it comes to quality of work performed! I tell you what, you go back and re-read every statement I made, and find the one that I trashed talked Ernesto's work, and I'll apologize...OK? I will not, apologize for telling someone in this profession that they're doing something wrong...with respect of course! If I were a lesser billiards technician than Ernesto, I'd have never said a word! ANYONE at ANY time can critique my work on ANY tables I've ever recovered...period!!!:D As the owners of the two tables in Boise have found out, "The last table I worked on, is ALWAYS the best table I've ever setup, recovered, worked on....period...ALWAYS!" I just happen to have thousands of LAST tables:D And just to set the record straight, this table has Brunswick K55 Super speed cushions on it, and the distance traveled end to end with the cue ball is how much???? Hmmmm....lets see if I remember correctly...down, back, down, back, down, back about half way!!! Does K66 cushions do that on a Brunswick...ask the owners of the tables that have them!!! That's 5 1/2 lengths of the table!!!....Get over it!!:D

Brunswick's and Diamonds = K55 cushions!

Glen:D

PS. What am I suppose to be jealous of when it comes to Ernesto?
