My pool room

[Old Sparky]

I built a pool room in my shop. I restored antique cars for many years in my shop behind the house. I'm 80 now and just decided it was time to give it up. I love playing pool and restored an old 9' Gold Crown 11. It came from a pool hall in Oklahoma that closed. It was pretty rough but all there. It has 860 cloth and the pockets were tightened so 2 balls will jam side by side. I purchased 2 mannequins from a local bridal shop and they hold a bridge at each end of the room. One blonde and a redhead. I made the light from 1x12 boards and 2 x4' LED ceiling lights. A 55" TV, dart board and slot machine. Still working on the room but not much more to do.

Sweet! I love the white GC and those are by far the best bridge holders I've ever seen!

 

[jimcharles]

Very nice! You did a great job.

 

[Rickhem]

Very cool!
And mannequins to act as bridge holders? Love it!
I'll bet you did a hell of a job on the cars too!

 

[Pushout]

Great job all around!!!

If anyone needs me, I'll be over at Sparky's.

Go, sparky.

 

[SlateMan]

Awesome, I can't wait to see the ball holders....

 

[RickLafayette]

Well done! Hope you get to enjoy it for many years.

Nice spot but i just can't do that much white. I'd have to add some accent/trim to darken it up. Nice ol GC.

Way cool room....although if I had a few too many late at night, I'd prolly glance twice over my shoulder at those mannequins to make sure they were not moving.

And anyone who'd argue they are better than real ones by all measures would be wrong!

I bet these two would keep their mouths shut when I play a bad shot too! Hmmmm....I'm starting to see more upside here.
