11. Can I build my own table and cue?

John Kirchel has documented his table project on-line complete
with pictures and drawings at http://pooltable.kirchelconsulting.com
His email address is there in case you have questions.

Bob Stantley's long article on how he built a table is at

http://apeli.tky.hut.fi/~sbo/pub/English_documents/
Miscellaneous/Build_a_table.txt

You can request a free reprint of the article he used
for plans and materials from Fine Woodworking (March/April 1989) at:

1-800-477-8727

or from the land-mail address given in Bob Stantley's article. Or see:
http://www.bestbilliard.com/resources/buildtable.cfm

Complete plans and instructions in a 70-page booklet for building a
9-foot table are available from the site http://www.pooltableplans.com/
for $70.

In the July/August 1986 issue, Fine Woodworking covered how to make a
cue stick. (But this article was described by a cue maker in RSB as
"immensely inaccurate and misleading.") Also, many of the pool
magazines carry ads for videos on how to make sticks, in case you want
to get into the business. See also http://www.cuemaker.com/ for a
book (some of it on-line) about making cues.
