Quick update on the snooker table. Tony Crosby just left my place and believes the table to be a Robertsons table. He said it's actually a decent table. I'm having him assemble it for me and rebuild the rails on my Gandy Pro at the same time. So by this time next week I should be playing snooker on it!
I'm going to hold off putting new cloth on it until I find time to frame in another room for it. The heat and humidity will be too much for it at this point. And the ugly red cloth on it now is already Simonis 860.

Another small update. Snooker table is in and probably needs it's own room. Too damn hot to play without A/C
I went ahead and gave my 54 year old Gandy a much needed facelift more fitting for the room it's in. Rebuilt the rails to better than new condition and it is now my favorite table to shoot on. Plays incredibly well. I'm also toying with enclosing the bottom half of the table with some kind of steampunk industrial looking base.
The octagonal bumper pool table / poker table plays like shit. So I'm just going to keep it for a poker table. Just ordered a proper "slate" bumper table to replace it with. The other one had a wood based table and dead rails.
Here are a couple of picks.

Oh hell no. 5x10 is challenging me and I can't even imagine shooting on a 6x12 :thumbup:
I'm contemplating turning the snooker table room into a proper English pub theme. The next bay over may end up a tropical beach theme with a tiki bar, beach, palm trees, hammock, etc. tetherball would be cool.
And the next space past the oasis could we an old west saloon bar theme. I've been thinking a lot about these future expansion ideas. If I'm lucky enough to live another twenty years I just might finish it all

Only ever played bumper pool in college back in the 70s. Met a guy from Memphis who was damn good at it. Taught me the game and I got to where I could almost hang with him. I know we always ran 3-4 balls before someone missed.
Now I’m wishing there was room for one in our new gameroom!
