Billiard room project

My buddy and I finished installing the slates and cloth at about 2 this morning. After a long evening of Molson Canadians and 12 year old Crown we were pretty fresh by the time we played the inaugural frames. Needless to say the table plays really nice for a 25 year old Riley, not so for the 50 year old half cut me :D

here's a taster, more to come.

Congratulations on your room. I have to say that I am jealous. This has been one of my favorite threads over the last several months. You have to post a video of you hitting balls.
 
It's looking great! Get some good blinds to keep the sun light out and prevent those shadows across your table.

But yeah, fantastic! That's some serious afford to be able to play snooker!

Ya thanks I put the blinds up last night, don't want the sun on the cloth or rubbers for sure that would lead to a very short life.
I am always amazed at how well the Northern rubber holds up over time. I have played on some really old snooker tables with original rubbers and they still play like new.
Lots of pool tables I have seen the rubbers rock hard after less than ten years.
 
Looks great! Now invite this yank over for a few matches. I won't come but an invite would be nice. :D
 
Okay, your officially invited but maybe we could arrange it for the same time my Mother-in-law plans to visit :thumbup:
 
Good Job! Looks great. I did most of the work on mine too. It was a job but well worth it.
 
Bigjohn, do you have any photos of your room.
It was a ton of work and at times I wondered what the hell I started but there is satisfaction at the end knowing you did it yourself.
 
I was searching for examples of table lights & stumbled into your thread. Beautiful work & enviable table. I'm jealous!
 
thanks, those are T5 HO 3500k fluorescents, often called high bay fixtures. I am loving the light off these, very natural and even,no glare off the balls or multiple spots of light on the balls like halogens or multiple single fixtures can give you.
 
awesome job on the room, now you should invite me over so that I can break that table in with a max break. That last bit was all tongue-in-cheek of course.
