    Quoted from herbertbsharp:

    Awesome! I've got a bunch of autographed photos too. Most of mine are from the late 90's, so a lot of them are dead. The first one is my current favorite.
    [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    You got some real good ones! Jealous of that Bronson! Any story to it?

    #15702 3 years ago

    Wow, autographs from Vernon Wells and this weird guy from The Warriors... really cool.
    I have pinball parts signed by Steve and Mark Ritchie and Dave Sanders.

    It was a lifelong dream meeting the big 3. The ballwasher I bought just after my dad died as a memorial to him.

    Quoted from EJS:

    I like cards, poker etc, but you could move that table into the kitchen (upstairs) and fit (what looks like) 3 or 4 more games there.
    You did a great job with the bar.

    gorditas I'm with EJS. I love pool, but it takes up a lot of space. Depending on how much you play poker, a poker table and a pool table may be sort of redundant.

    I have a 9' table in my basement. I got a decent leather(ish) cover for it. I cut a sheet of plywood in half and added felt to each piece (I recently had the felt replaced, but the old stuff was salvageable for this purpose). They're easy to handle and fit right on top of the cover. It offers both a recessed and slightly elevated surface for cards and board games. The chair height is a little tough. I had some lower kitchen bar stools I used at my old place, and they worked pretty well. I got rid of them, completely forgetting how useful they were for poker. Since then I got a drafting chair and that seems like it can position to a decent height.

    It looks like you have a 7' or 8', so the stretches aren't too awful over that size. If you're not super serious about poker, and the sole host, it's something to consider just ditching the poker table altogether and providing a bit more utility to the pool table.

    I can post some pictures of my setup if you're interested.

    Quoted from Bmanpin:

    I am out of room unfortunately so I’m stuck with 4 pins for now unless of course they produce a BTTF or a Jaws and I bet I could find more room.
    [quoted image][quoted image]

    Please help me understand, why the pin shields?

    Dust is easy to clean off, uv light isn’t getting to them to fade them, setting stuff on the glass is usually a faux pax anyway. Just curious why

    Hard to get them all in from the hallway.

    Had my eye on a couple more than were local, but I barely squeezed these 6 in here.

    I appreciate the insight. The poker table has a matching top, we use it for extra seating when we have big parties. I had that made to match my pool table. No way is it going anywhere. I could put an extra pin against the wall pictured below without moving anything. If I'm going to move something, the Super Chexx would go first: it gets the least play out of anything.

    Part of what every guest mentions when first experiencing my gameroom is that there is something for everyone. I want to keep it that way. I was mostly kidding about having more pins.

    It’s just a guess, but maybe for practicing hammer juggling?

    We have cats with claws. PDI glass does not like cats with claws. I made custom towels to cover mine. I'm sure there are other reasons but this worked for me.

    I got a bit more of the hallway done this weekend. Getting close now. I’ll be happy to wrap this project up.

    Here’s a short 15 second video of the doors:

    Thanks! Its a Olide automatic door, model SD190. It's one of their commercial models. It will operate by touch pads, and the hallway side will also have a motion sensor.

    Man, that door is killer. Love it.

    I'm closing on a new house on Friday and will be saying goodbye to my current game room and moving to a house with a much larger basement! I'll definitely miss this basement. I'm only halfway packed!

    Why is the Enterprise on a shelf and not hung from the ceiling? I can see an epic space battle over your head with UV string laser beams,Klingon ship and space backdrop.

    You can easily sell the point that adding one more will take no more space. Get them closer. You can fit 5 in the same space the 4 are. You need a JJP to round things out.

    Or a Medieval Madness to go with that sword.. And THEN a JJP.

    She does cause he'll be dead errrr missing, yeah just missing.

    #15749 3 years ago

    Just bring a new one in when she’s not home. I presume that she never goes into the gameroom anyway.

    #15750 3 years ago

    Use the new dress excuse that they use all the time then if you must explain.
