"Gold Crown" Ball Polisher

First, huge shoutout to Glen for his assistance thus far on my project. I restored my Gold Crown I about two years ago with matching custom Gold Crown Light I built and I also restored a Gold Crown Cue Rack for my room. I've been using a bucket polisher for years to polish my ball sets (16 at current) but I always wanted a ball polisher in the Gold Crown motif to match the theme of my room. I've got enough left over 1" plywood to build it and I finally decided to start. I will say this: I know why Diamond charges $600 for their single platter. I'll be in it about $300-$375 in parts and materials and that's without the wood. This is a pretty labor intensive project and I estimate I'll have 15-20 hours in it when it's all painted and looking pretty. As for the Gold Crown elements: arched bottoms of the cabinet side panels to mimic the pedestals, rounded corners on the cabinet and top (no sharp angles on a Gold Crown I), sides of the top will have the same shape as Gold Crown aprons and of course, painted to match my table, light and rack. The inner workings will be Glen's design: fan motor, belt driven with 4:1 reduction, pillow bock bearings and engineered to spiral the balls. I've still got a ways to go but here's some progress pics. Cabinet mock up: Cabinet rough assembly with platter: Quarter round installed: Lid mocked up to check clearance:

When it's finished, and I've put it through all of it's testing, then it'll be ready to show.

I can't wait, kinda like how you were gonna change pool from a Kmart in Nampa, ID? How many years ago was that? Put up, shut up, or send that man money for his rails...
