Building your own pool table
I am starting this topic for anyone like me who are interested in building your of win pool table. I would like to do this myself, but it’ll be a few years for me as money is tight and I have a vintage Valley coin table I am restoring at the moment.
So why would you want to do build a table? Well, many reasons really. Maybe you are like me and have a themed room you are building and want something that’ll match with the room you are doing. Something that you could customize and build the way you want? I’m my case; I am doing a Celtic/Irish Pub themed game room. I haven’t seen many tables that I just really liked that would go along with this theme. Or maybe you just want the satisfaction of building a table yourself. So why not?
What I want to do is to get together a list of resources on here for building billiard tables of all styles.
If you’ve built a table, share some pics!
If you have plans or know of places to get or buy billiard table plans, share them!
Know of some resources for wood, slate, billiard table parts? Stick it on here!
I don’t want to just stick to 7’, 8’, and 9’ pool tables. If you have experience, resources, or information on other styles of billiard tables like Snooker, Carom, Russian, Bagatelle, Bar Billiards, Bumper Pool, etc., please share! There must be some good resources for some of these in the U.K. I’d bet.
