AZ Cuemaker Directory

If this has been done already please disregard and close the thread.


After following the AZ Cue Build off Shawn did (AZ handle "ftgokie") I noticed about 3 cuemakers on the list he revealed that I did not know were cuemakers on here, or had heard of them. I think we should have a sticky or at least a constantly updated thread in one section IF this hasn't been done yet either in the main forum, wanted for sale, or possibly the gallery. I would lean on the main forum section as where to put it as I am sure the most people, especially new members start looking there.

I searched both cuemaker and directory for the key words in the title on AZ and I did not see one that listed purely an AZ list off of first glance. I did see a member directory where members could list their website, as well as a couple cuemaker compiled lists which included a lot of cuemakers in the world and some telephone numbers but was incomplete. I saw a thread AZ member i4pool did which takes you to an outside website which has a bunch of cuemakers and their websites. There are also multiple which cuemaker to use threads, but I did not see one thread which included all the AZ cuemakers.

Since AZ is it's own entity, and cuemakers take the time to post on here threads, pictures, and random posts which is awesome I think it would be very helpful for everyone to see how to get ahold of them. Yes all someone has to do is post a new thread to ask, or send a message to someone...but with trying to get the AZ community to grow when someone clicks on the main forum section they can see at the top of the page "AZ Cuemakers Directory" or something similar and then have instant access to the cuemakers that take the time to be a part of this community. Not all of the cuemakers have websites.

We can also include AZ dealers too (with their permission) that rep other cuemakers that may not be on here if they want to be listed.

I am thinking of course only with the cuemakers and dealers consent that the sticky can include the following information to which the cuemakers can choose what information is and is not listed:

Cuemaker Name
Cuemaker AZ handle
Telephone #
Email
Website

At the very least I would like to see the AZ handle and telephone #, but once again whatever information the cuemakers want to have available on here. This would be on a volunteer basis only.

If this has been done already then I just got great practice at typing...but if it hasn't been done on AZ, not on an outside website, I think this would be a nice tool to have available. Since I am on here almost daily I can volunteer to keep the list updated if someone PMs me their info or posts in the sticky.

Thoughts? Like I said disregard if this has been done...I just thought it would be handy for new members to see, as well as regulars that want to contact someone and don't want to start a new thread or can't seem to find them through the search engine.

Seriously, you have NO idea how many cuemakers that are out there that are not really known, that are actually here on AZB....I found out there are 6 cuemakers in about a 30 mile radius of me that I had never heard of. I have a huge list of cuemakers that I have been making up since I have been a member...I am sure there is a list somewhere, but this is a good idea...But I know of 2 cuemakers close to me that do not want to be mentioned...why I dont know..

But overall, thats why I did the build off, to get some lesser known names out there to people that have never heard of them....

Great idea though

This is just meant to be a useful tool for AZ cuemakers that want their contact info shown, especially if it is a sticky. New AZ members can see it right away when they click the main forum section. It is not a requirement and nobody should be forced to have their info on display if they don't want it. I just thought it would be a good idea after seeing your contest that had at least 3 I hadn't heard of, or knew were members on here. I will wait for more feedback, especially from Mr. Wilson on this...

Excellent idea Matt, I'm all for it.

This would give some exposure to those cue makers and not to mention help players if they are looking for a local build or need some repair work done. Great Idea!

Another good point...with permission I can list the state and city so someone can locate a cuemaker local. Thanks for the post.

Haha...never mess with any guy or girl named Olga! I only ask that everyone is patient with the list being updated, and let me know what you want to be listed and what you do not want to be listed. You can post in the thread or PM me. I will edit my original post after work. If I get overwhelmed with PMs then I might give another email address to send it to.

Spimp, I think once you get a list compiled, you should touch it up, make it look all nice and pretty, make sure there are no typos or spelling errors, etc, etc. Then, start a new thread with one giant list as the first post. Then the mods can make THAT the sticky.

That way, it'll be a nice, streamlined way to find all the info in one post. If you want help, I'd be happy to assist in the compilation of the info.

Thanks Mike. I sent Wilson a PM to see what he thinks. If he likes the idea and wants to make it a sticky I will jot down the info here already and then start the new thread to be used as a sticky and have him lock this one. I pmed Shawn to get his list that he has compiled already. In terms of touching it up and making it look nice I will definitely try. I am not the most creative in that aspect, but as long as the information is easy to read and is accurate, then it will be very useful. Thanks for the response, I will definitely hit you up if I get overwhelmed with the list.

please send your email to mine at stix4sale@aol.com

I think it is a excellent idea! If you look our mechanics forum there is a sticky for mechanics created and maintained by Dartman. It lists mechanics by state and Dartman also highlights the names of mechanics that are regular contributors. Works quite well.
 
I have gotten the ok from Wilson to create the new thread as a sticky. I will start compiling it and post a new thread that will be a sticky that can be updated. I will try to contact the ones I know for sure to get their ok after I get the list from Shawn. If you do not want to be on this list send me a PM, or you can send me a PM with your information ahead of time while I start to put it together. Thanks
