*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.

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.

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.

merkerguitars

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?
