I completly screwed up trying to start it before my dad got home. I had to wait cause he had the wrench but i did step one by myself. which is jam pole A into pole B. It didn't say to how to line it up, and it's stuck, what do i do? me and my dad tried pulling at it and stuff.

Hello everyone, I was thinking of building a billiard table with my brother could be a cool and fun project to work on. We plan on making a 8 foot table, with slate as the base, with custom wooden legs and cabinet, we want to place it outside on our patio, is that a good idea? Would it get ruined, we would probably get a cover for it, but still. A few more things, we plan on using slate, but that's very expensive [$500-$600], does anyone know why slate is better than solid wood for example? Anyone also build something like this in the past? How much did it cost in the end? Was it fun, hard, easy, did it come out good? Looking for feedback of any kind, is this doable for two guys that basically don't have much hardwood experience, just a will. :) I was thinking about making a small replica of it [20% of real size] to see how it would be, and to get an idea of what in involves. I will be using this guide a lot - [url]http://www.bestbilliard.com/resources/buildtable.cfm[/url] Thanks guys!
