My Personal Billiard Room
I just joined the forum today and thought I would introduce myself and show you people my billiards room.
I do not know who made my table since I purchased it about 18 years ago. It's been moved a couple of times and recovered with new pool table cloth about every 4 years.
New bumpers went on with the last recover job. It is amazing how you don't notice your bumpers going dead until you put fresh, lively ones on.
For many years I ran bright red felt on it, but changed over to the color you see in the photos about 2 years ago.
I like to play eight ball and nine ball but lately have been looking for different games to change things up a bit.
I am looking forward to learning some new stuff from you fine people.

Welcome aboard! It looks like a great fireplace. The two hollow bodies look like you may appreciate jazz? Is either one a Gibson by chance?

The two guitars you see there are Guilds. One is an X-500 and the other is a rare X-500T (aka a poor man's L5).
In addition to the Guilds, I own two Gibsons, two Fenders, and two Gretsches. My place is the Noah's ark of guitars. I have four amps, all point to point hand wired tube circuits to provide the noise.
While I like jazz, I mostly play swing, jump blues, blues, and a little old fashioned rock and roll.
Glad you like my fireplace. It gets cold here in the winters.
