if you cant afford to lose you cant afford to win

My home game room includes a Pool table and a Bar with a draft Beer tower. Having no taps for this I went on ebay and purchased around 32 taps for what it would cost me to purchase 1 or 2 new.

Rather than then let these sit in a drawer I wanted to display them.  I have since built a ball rack to hold my spare set of snooker balls and my spare tap handles. (Pictures soon).

Anyways I now want to add a score board onto this but I can't find any parts to build a scoreboard.

The snooker score board consists of a rails with two markers on it and they would point to the values below.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9     10  20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 00

Typically there would be a rail above the scoring for player 1 and a rail below for player 2.

Does anyone know where to get such parts ??

Here's another choice.

I ordered some wood scoring beads. I don't have a pool table.  Scratch Head

Here is what I built.

It displays some of my spare bar taps and holds my spare ball set......

I was going to add in the scoring across the bottom.

Your absolutely right about the mounting screws. I really should remove them, counter sink a hole then fill them with some plugs.

Nice job Jay,
This is what I did with my spare tap handles.
The chrome spouts are cheap and look cool.

It's better you to have a kind of furniture that has a functioning as a score board location. This might be help you to develop new ones rather to make a compliment. It's good also to know the best factor of what other say because it can help you to gain an idea.

Exactly!
