Vintage Billiards Table

This is how the table would look with a modern frame. The pockets can still use the nets or railing system, both of which are hidden behind the panels. There are two built-in storage drawers (front & back) to hold the racks, chalk, brushes, etc. Underneath the drawers are glass compartments for the balls (front) and the bridge (back). Additionally, the cue holder has a touchscreen computer for keeping score and statistics.

Thank you to everyone for the support! I am honored that the table was chosen for a staff pick. And almost a 1/4 of the way to 10k! Here is a lavender theme as a tribute to my mother who bought my first computer and Lego sets.

I thought this would look cool with a Japanese theme:

I am part Italian, so I had to do a theme for Italy. I had some fun with the felt. Pizza is one of my favorite foods! 🍕

Cards and Billiards are two great games which go well together. The horseshoes on the side of the frame are a tribute to my Father. He loved to play that game too.

Here is a French theme of the table:

I have not played this version; however, I imagine it's very fun!

This is an optional add-on rail system which automatically returns the balls back to the holding tray after they drop down the pockets:

The system consists of 2 side by side rails which create a channel for the ball to travel. Each pocket has a rail catcher attached underneath while the main rail is attached to the frame and tray. All of the rails can be adjusted via functional elements and beams.

Here are some images of the felt and the breakdown of its construction:

Thank you all for the continued support! I have created a fully functional auto-rack similar to what is used at tournaments. This device ensures that the rack is perfect every time with a descending peg system.

Technical Explanation:

The clear handles push downward through four (1x1) open slots in the frame of the rack. The handles are connected to 1 of 2 triangular plates (one large, one small, respectively). The large plate has mostly flat plates on top so it doesn't completely connect to the small plate which is part of the frame. However, the large plate does connect partially to the frame via two 1x3 plates underneath the handles locking it in the loading position. When you push the handles down, it should release easily from those two plates and stay on track during the descent. Lastly, the 15 pegs are connected to 1x1 circular plates w/ holes.
