Pool-Snooker Table

I think your work obviously stands the test of time.

Grumpy,
That is some pool table. I don’t think I’ve ever played on a better one. I see you go the lathe gong on the railing by it as well. Nice work. I can’t comment on every thing but you sure appear to be an artist.

Grumpy,

This is a great project, and you did it with very little machinery. That’s a big accomplishment!

Grumpy a great project. We had a pool table at home that came from a Pool Hall and they were made to stand up to a lot of abuse. Yours looks the same. A nice job.

Nothing wrong with a little “secret spot” in the table… kinda like the old barn board floor of the original boston Garden… just need to remember the home court advantage and not play you for money ;)

My Dad grew up playing on one that made everyone look like awesome trick shot artists.

Good looking table though, and a testament to your craftsmanship – using what you had and still doing what you wanted anyway. – the surest sign of a true Lumberjock!

Hey G. , This table looks super, I don’t have a lathe either, hand drill though how’s that work. I love the design of the Table and Legs. May have to talk to my one son about this one, once we finish his Gararge….your brother in woodworking John

Looks like I messed this the first time through. I like how you made the legs. You must have done
it right since it’s still standing.

I like this table, Grumpy. I used to play a little snooker in New Zealand years ago. They had these little tables in the pubs, couldn’t have been over 6’ long. Would that be a special size or the norm?

Tim, 8’X4’. Standard size for a 3/4 table.

Thanks Gary, the grandkids get good use out of it and it gets a bit of a workout when we have a get together.

Very Cool table Grumpy I can tell alot of work went into this . You should be pretty good on this table seeing how you know all its secrets.
Job Well done

Very nice job, Grumpy!... That seems like quite a task without any machinery…. You’ve done a great job on it!

Thanks Steve, it certainly would be a lot easier with the gear I have now.
