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.
When are you going to find time to play pool when the snow melts up north????
ReplyDeleteWe're playing now! The table will stay here in Florida, of course, while we spend our summers in NY.
DeleteI'm confused. I need some directioms here. You're in an RV, presumably stationed at the horse ranch? So where is Earl living? And whose shed/workshop is that?
ReplyDeleteEarl and Judi have a place here in Florida. Our RV is parked at their house. The "garage" is theirs. The horse ranch that Pam works is about three miles down the road.
