Moving a pool table is tricky business, yet pool table mechanics, like myself, make it look easy.
It has taken years to perfect the way in which I personally move and assemble pool tables.
Granted that every single mechanic does something different with a table.
The worst thing, and most annoying, is to ask a mechanic how he does his jobs, its condescending, especially when coming from someone who does not know the first thing about the construction of a pool table.
Yes, it's fine to ask a pool table mechanic how long he has been in the field, but asking him how he does his job, what tools he uses, etc.
gets very irritating.
You can watch us build the table, ask questions, and talk to us all day long, but we know when someone is hesitant of you from the get go.
Be it the way we look, the look of our vehicle, or the customers mood it is always great to see how they act when the pool table is finished and they see how we may look like laborers in the beginning by the end we are craftsman and we take great pride in not only building excellent playing pool tables, but also feeling a sense of pride by providing another customer with an outstanding piece of furniture.
I personally have been working on pool tables for 8 years through my teens into now my early 20's.
A lot of individuals act like I am not old enough to apprectiate good quality.
That is a sad stereotype of my generation, as most of us are lazy, I am a hard working person who is all about efficiency and get things done is a consistently good pace.
