the table got a new felt.....finally
 

*not sure if this is the right place to be.....feel free to move it if need be.*


so......in V.03 i had a thread where i asked what colour i should redo my pooltable.

guess what......green won..........plus,it's easier on the eyes while playing.

anyways........here's my venture into redoing the felt on my "old" table.


old felt w/ outer wood trim off.

tomorrow i'm gonna put the new rubber on the rails.

let 'er dry and then refelt them on sunday.

more pix too come

from what I heard you had know choice in color. It was all up to your wife.

ahhh dinkmun..........at it again eh....?

as a matter of fact.....i like the color green............

wife or not.

ya but you can`t smoke that green....

whoa, flyman... I didn't know you played sports...

Will this help your game? Or is this just for show?

prolly a bit of both.

the felt was so worn you couldn't masse or draw shots.

the rubber on the rails is rock hard,so the new stuff should liven everything up.......and yes,including my game

It's a bad musician who blames his instrument. ;)

It's starting to look pretty smooth. Just remember to have everyone keeps their butts, beers and asses off the table.

Looks good so far flyman. Make sure you remove your kids arms before they are allowed in the room. ;)

fly, we've got to get together and shoot some serious stick sometime...

soo......i stapled all four corners and the side rails,then cut the side pockets.....

Looks good flyman. I`ll see ya tommorow with some beer. Its a good thing that Splick gave you a hand. Turned out nice..............You should be able to rackm up nice for me now....lol.....lol.........

ahhhh.....but you have yet to play on the "new" rails.......so you will need time to get dialed in.

me.......i'm already dialed in.....good luck.

No such thing as luck......Just a couple a big fatties and I`m ready.

Hope you got game for a nice new table like that, fly! :lol:

Damn, all that help, and you feed splck lite beer? WTF!

Gotta set up a major TFP get-together out in beautiful BC. I'm in for sure. ;)

Looks good.
You have no spots yet.

Ah yes...beer and pool, nothing like it. Notice the beer is not light.
http://www.blurredfixation.com/Pool_table.jpg

ahhhh splck will fuckin' drink any kind of beer.

sunday we were drinkin' sleeman's cream ales...........tasty pops boy.

it's raining here again so...........time to shoot some stick on the new table.

*p.s. you can make it here joe........you will be more than welcome*:D


hell......halx is a shark i hear...........maybe he'll even show up.

gonna measure 'em out in an hour or so..........after i take the monsters to school.

Dude, you're going to have to level the table if you sleep on it ... :(

At school, we have to level the thing twice a semester because people won't keep their asses off of it.

Awesome job...I've always wondered how hard it would be to fix a pool table...where did you get the new rubber and felt?

got it from the local games store.

$560.00 got me the new rubber and felt for rails and the deck.

tough job,it took all freakin' weekend.

more than happy w/ the outcome.:D

That include all the beer splck drank? :lol:

nope..........that was extra........it almost cost more on beer to feed splck.

the man drinks like a pig........hehe:D

well, with all this rain lately, we should get together and play some stick. Hell, I'll even buy the beer.......yet again.

alright.........splck is steppin' up to the table.........
