primitive pool table

I've seen that table before... on an old episode of Gilligan's Isle.

(and the chorus of youngsters all shout) "Who in the hell is Gilligan"?

It's from back in the day when we all left our TV's at home when we went out to play.
And we didn't have to listen to some loud (and often annoyingly stupid) ring-tone blaring out from a nearby cellphone right when you're in the middle of a money game.

But I digress... If I were stranded on a deserted island I bet it wouldn't take me more than a few weeks before I would start building a table of some sort.
 
Sometimes it just doesn't take a whole lot of money to make a person happy .When we were kids we would have played on that table all day long.
 
Table

Everything looks good' decent pocket size, sharp angles' no rattled balls,perfect cushion layout and most importantly it's racking tight!

That's my kind of one pocket table'

I was on this Island once with a guy named Gilligan and another called Skipper and a few others.

We had a table like that. Someone by the name of Professor built it.

I wonder if playing under such terrible conditions would make them good pool players if they were to get their hands on a real table with real equipment

This is actually not so far from the truth. Jose Parica told me that when he came to the States, playing 9-ball rotation instead of 15-ball rotation on pristine equipment, he found it easy to win. In Philippines, when he was growing up, they had to play in inferior equipment, uneven tables, balls different sizes, bad cloth, et cetera.
