Small Pool Table

I join to the APA leagues in my area, really enjoy pool, a few months back got into a divorce, I knew have to get my mind busy in something, at home don't have much space to allocate a real size pool table so when I was looking on the net for DIY projects found the Instructable "Golf Ballz Pool Table
". I really think was a great idea, how to improve it and make it work for a real pool rack. This Instructables will show how I got inspired by the other instructables and get me going in this really cool project, I enjoy working on it, it was not about the time but to the results, I look the project as a hobbie and get my mind busy, I finally complete the project, and most importantly help me go through this difficult time in my life.

Enjoy It.

I haven't gone to the store yet, but so far online I can't find a door that is 8 feet high, everything is only 6 feet high on lowes and home depots website.

Hopefully I'll have better luck at the actual stores.

where did you get your felt? did you just use the fabric kind at like an art store?

this is really good setup  i like the slingshot ideal
i building one now  but im going to use mdf board  it's heavy but worth it in the long run  thin im making a pokertable as the cover  be a great project regardless if it's not as good as a 8.000 $ table

Excellent instructable, thanks for posting it. I got fantastic ideas for the rails, by using the yellow rubber split in two. I'll try your approach!

Regards.

You wrote "In another instructable found how cheap can the whiteboard be used to convert a full wall into an dry erase board" - We need a cheap wall-to-wall whiteboard, please: Where can I find this instructable?

Thanks!

how much did this cost?

[dinooz]

It was close to $200 USD. The good thing is the fact to be able to move it really quick. =)

[underroutine]

It adds up to a bit over $100 dollars.
