The Champ's got something new to detail!

We've had a pool tournament going on for the last couple weeks at school.

All games prior to the Championship game were "8-ball straight-in" and the winner of one game advances.

The Championship Game was best 2 out of 3, "8-ball last-pocket".



The first game... I took it with 4 of my opponent's balls still on the table. :)



The second game...I had all 7 of mine cleared, and working on the 8 ball, while he still had 6 balls left! Then he cleared them all and the 8 ball! :eek:



The third game...This game was tough. I called my last ball in the corner pocket, and it went off the 2 rails and bounced across the table into the opposite corner :mad: which means that my opponent gets to pick the pocket that I must make the 8 ball into. Of course he picked a side pocket. Long story short, I bumped the 8 ball closer to the pocket a couple times, and then cut it in. He still had 2 balls left. :)

So...

Has anyone detailed a trophy before? What should I use to shine it up? :cool:
 
Congrats, Paul!



As for detailing it, you should start with 80 grit sandpaper, then a light sandblasting. It'll look good as new!
 
I'm thinking of something a LITTLE more gentle than that!

Maybe a gentle wash and some Paste Glaz. :)

BTW, I just increased my "new tires fund" by $10.00 at the pool table. :D
 
Congrats on winning the tourney. I really like the trophy.

I use to play pool religiously when I was in high school. My best friend had a table in his basement, then my cousin put one in his basement after the huge interest. Every weekend it was one or the other for pool :cool: Now we play Texas hold em on the $800 pool table :rolleyes:

Brings back good memories.

Well here is a pic of my two trophies after wash and Paste Glaz. The other trophy is from a salmon fishing tournament I won in 1999.
