Big boys, meaning Earl and I. If you've followed our Drift Away blog, you know that boat is loaded with toys, from the Boston Whaler on the roof (which may be coming here as a fishing boat) to the $15,000 in electronics. No, we haven't sold the boat yet. Close, but not yet.
So what are we working on? This. A nine foot regulation pool table, with a one inch slate top. Each one of those three pieces of slate have to weigh 200 pounds.

First we set up the base, and then the frame. It was then time to lift up the slate. Once in position, we leveled each to the one adjoining.
In the pic above, Earl is taking a grinder to the joints to get them perfect.
I guess you're supposed to use bee's wax to seal the joints. We figured caulk is just as good so that's what we used. We let it sit overnight, scraped off the excess, and we'll put the felt and rails on later today. There's no rush. We don't have any pool balls or rack. I ordered a set of pool balls off eBay for $11, and Earl and I will look around for a rack.
Like this, looks like you have made it easily!

ReplyDeleteNice new toy! I practically grew up in a pool hall and made cash on the side installing tables. :-) I'm sure you'll get many hours of enjoyment out of it. I once played pool on a ship if you can believe that! :-)
