Pool hall stuff

Post by wrmnfzy »

Have a friend that just bought a pool hall and is in the process of remodeling the place. He asked if I could make some pool ball racks and a cue stick holder for about 20 cues that would be free standing. Solid oak racks run about $50 each and the cue holders about $150. I was able to make 7 racks for about $40 and the cue holder for $60. The cue holder has lazy Susan hardware so it can rotate. He will put the finish on them.

They look great, and I bet those racks will rack ‘em up nice and tight. :cool:

So are you being paid in free pool games?

Since I'm getting older and my hands aren't as steady as they once were I made the racks a little bigger than normal so I can rack them tight and still get the rack off without moving the balls.

They are good to me and I to them.

You are right, don’t hear pool hall much, showing my age. Wayyyyyyy back when I started playing we had rack boys and it was six racks for a quarter. Yikes, I’m old.
