That polisher turned out bad ass looking. Nice work.Well, I made one of those too. Actually, I made two (one for a buddy; custom Gold Crown lights. It's A LOT of work and you have no idea until you get into the project. If I were to make them for sale I would have to charge $2K to make it worth my while so no, I don't think $1,500 is out of line.
Ball polisher. I still need to finish the lid; waiting on Formica to do so.
Light:
Thanks, man. Wait until the top is done complete with rosewood laminate, mother of peal inlays, metal trim ring around the opening, metal trim around the edges and the sides painted blue. I'm just waiting on the laminate to finish it off.
I seriously doubt they’ll be on sale at any lower price than what you can buy it for on the website, as they are back ordered 3+ months and selling as many as they can make. I ordered mine in December and still waiting for the call.
I e-mailed the sales department yesterday but I'll give Aaron a call on Monday...Thank you
I'd be good with just saving the shipping
I fully support MOP I am a sucker for inlays lol. Post a pic when it's done.
Make your own ball cleaner. 5 gallon bucket, old piece of carpet, or, rug, car polisher.
I'm handy and I could do that but I'm looking for something a little more professional that I can keep next to my pool table
Diamond tried keeping table price stable as long as they could. During covid prices for everything skyrocketed. Materials, slate, shipping, insurance, labor, you name it. Local place ordered 14 7fts just before the increase. Saved them about 30grand. Prices haven't hurt their business. Tables are over 3mo backorder. Do you know what their cost is on stuff? I have no clue so i'm not going to say they're 'gouging' or that buyers are suckers. Been to a HomeDepot or Lowe's lately? Everything is higher than giraffe balls.
Yup
No Biden fan here but prices on shit were going up well before he took office. Once shipping slowed during covid prices skyrocketed on everything. I talked to Chad at Diamond and he said they kept prices stable as long as they could. Got to the point they had to raise them. All their suppliers raised prices basically at the same time. Perfect storm.
Call Heath. He is in your neck of the woods.I love the look of the Diamond ball polisher, and by all accounts it's a top notch product - don't think I've seen a single bad review about it. But when I priced one out shipped to my home here in Canada, the total cost was going to be almost what I paid for my GCV knock off table, cue racks, light, 2 sets of balls including an Aramith Pro Cup TV set, a few cues, and brand news Simonis...
I'm not normally very frugal, but I'm having a hard time justifying the price. Might start looking into making a bucket polisher soon
if you are driving to the expo then have Diamond bring one for you and save yourself cost of shipping.
Guess you didn't bother to read the thread. LOL.
sure didn't, I read the question and offered a comment
Had you read the thread before replying you would have learned Diamond doesn't have stock, won't be selling them at the expo and the units are on backorder with a wait time around 3-6 months.
