I’ve been meaning do this for a little while, but here are pictures of my cool new pool table. It’s a 7 foot Brunswick with a 1 inch slate (came in three pieces). According to the little placard on the table, Brunswick has been around since 1845 and supposedly even Abraham Lincoln had a Brunswick pool table. I bet mine is nicer.
Here is the front view.
Here is the back view.
Here is the stylings I paid a bit extra for. Since it’s in place of a dining table, I figured it should look nice.
Here is the cue stand I got. Since there’s a little less room on the ends, sometimes a shorter cue is needed.
I bought it new from Charlie at Aurora Road Billiard Supplies 1935 Aurora Road, Melbourne, FL. I think he treated me well (I didn’t know I could haggle, so he just took a hundred bucks off the price for me), so I thought I might as well give his business a plug.
Also, here is the gun safe I got Friday. That’s pretty much all the furniture I need for my house now. Next, I need to think about decorating.
Stupid plant shelves.
hehehe…ain’t bachelor life grand?
No carpet or floor coverings of any kind?
That is carpet you see there.
Oh, and yeah, bachelor life does kick ass 🙂
Decorating should be easy with such a nice pool table to inspire you. I’ll send you some examples. It’s a shame about your safe though, even with the shelves out you will probably have to cut up any body you try to stuff in there.
So you don’t keep your M-1 in the golf bag anymore? I have it on authority that a .30-06 iron is best for most courses, even 5 par.
tommy — on Florida golf courses, they call that a “gator iron”.
That’s what my Colt Anaconda is for. I’m not taking a one stroke penalty ’cause of no overgrown reptile.
Gator Iron, gotcha.
Frank, don’t mess that house up by decorating. That’s just more stuff to keep up with, money spent on silly eye-candy and it gets in the way when you need to run the hose the morning after…
plant shelves are easy, Frank, go to Michael’s & buy some fake plants, then you don’t have to water them, and if your shelves are high enough, you don’t have to dust them either.
btw, nice table, and bachelorette life rocks too.
You gotta love seeing how a guy decorates. Priorities!
Man, it’s been 22 years since I didn’t have anything on the walls. And I liked it that way!
Sorry Frank, but a pool table does not make for an interesting post.
Sweet gun safe!!! I have a Liberty gun safe, but I have to say, yours is definitly cool.
Frank,
Get a couple of “Chicks with Guns” posters, and you’re set. Who needs “fancy” decorations, like furniture and whatnot?
When he told you that you could haggle, and then took $100 off, you should have said, “no, you’ll take $300 off.”
Nice safe, but what’s much more important is what is in it- how about pics of THAT!
I note you have a Colt Anaconda. I must commend your choice of weapons. I also have one-do you have the 6″ barrel? This is my favorite weapon- after my 105mm howitzer.
Frank:
Woo-doggie! I shore do like yourn new fancy eating table. Do it have them fancy pot passn’ sticks? Shore would like an invite fer dinner so’in I could be see’n it in person. I bring some o’ granny’s possum stew. Call me, I’m in the book. See y’all soon.

I feel like a homo for saying it, but put some shit on your walls!
Dylan,
Hey it’s my website. I was just posting it here so it’s easier to show my family and distant friends.
