It seems like I saw it is available on their European website but I didn't see that it's available in the states.

Anybody know what's going on here?

I grew up poor. A lot of us didn't. I am working middle class (and middle aged) now.

I would love to buy a diamond ball cleaner, as think they look good, do a great job. But for 500 dollars, i don’t know. Now, i just timed myself cleaning my balls with pool ball cleaner/polish, and it took me about 10 minutes. First wipe each ball with a nice amount of polish on a wet micro fiber towel, then with a dry micro fiber towel, clean and polish each ball. They come out very shiny. I do this once a week when i clean and wipe down the table. Table and ball come out great. Oh well, i will keep thinking about it.

Your hand job is better than none and far from a machine job

Thanks!

I have a lot of the pieces, plenty of finished plywood, a marathon motor that runs at 1725 etc.
I'm assuming the 1/2" rod is threaded to accept the plate that attaches the platter. Were you able to buy those pieces made or did you have to have machining done.
Thanks

The rod is not threaded. I used a pipe flange with set screws.

That's what I like about my golf game. When I play (once every 3 years or so) I'm never any worse than the last time I played.

when someone came into the room

Well different rooms got different entry's.
A favorite memory for me was meeting Fly Boy. His entry to The White Spot big yearly 9 ball event was Stealth. I was paying my entry by working as referee. Basically dead money and a way for the house to add money to the pot.
Well he was not entered in the event he was at the crowded bar on Sunday and just looking around like a tourist. I was getting my 1 beer ration when he asked me, "what's going on here?" I assumed he was tourist so started to explain 9 ball. He shortly interrupted to state, "they call me Flyboy. "
My favorite entry to a Biker Bar was, "anybody in here play worth a F***?"
Now entry to the 211 in Seattle started with tipping the guy at the desk.

Sounds like one of our locals. They called him Dalmatian Dave. You know, The Spotted Dog.

After looking at some of the threads I've been watching over the years, I was curious about this one.
Have you cut the log yet? If so did you get any pictures. Just wondering what beauty lies inside.

"The Taste of Blood excites me." Is a favorite quote regarding competition attitude.
Dick Butcus comes to mind.

Just got back into the game after just about 22 years of not playing. I regret selling off my cue collection over the years, because a) they would be worth a lot more than what I sold them for when I did, and b) I'm a friggin' idiot for selling them in the first place. I did, however, have one stolen back in 2003.
