I am starting a new project this week.  I am refinishing my husbands pool table!  He is totally thrilled with this project.  We purchased a table for $150 used.  It is just an old bar style table.  The sides are brown laminate, the felt, green and patched in a few places.  I've started by preping and painting the sides, legs and underneath satin black.  Next I will paint a fire engine red trim around the table, get mother of pearl beads and fill in the screws, and re-chrome the chrome sides.  So far it is looking really nice.  When all of the painting is done, we will refelt the table in red.  Can't wait to see the finished product.
