DIY table advice?

[andywhite]

Howdy, I'm new here!


I'm coming back home next month and I plan to reorganize my garage and install a billiard table.
I'd like to make a DIY one, huh. So, any advice is appreciated.
I looked up some ideas on Pinterest here (www.pinterest.com.au/supercapitan7/diy-pool-table/)
and read some "beginner" articles like this justcraftingaround.com/diy-pool-table/ and this recroompick.com/how-to-measure-pool-table/
still got many questions about the materials and sizes.

I've only played in bars, and I'm not a professional player. Neither a woodworker. Still, I'd like to at least try.

So, waiting for your feedback. Maybe someone had such an experience?

Hi Andy
I think you are getting a little mixed up between bar billiards & pool, 2 VERY different games

Why make one?......ifyou go on eBay there are pool tables for sale all the time. I didn't have a completr look, but the first two(proper slate ones, not folding ones) were 30 something quid and 100 quid. The materials alone will cost you far more!
