I play in that tournament every year and I know many of the players. One tournament doesn't define a handicap. And if you run that event bracket twice no way that guys wins again. Stuff happens

Tell me if you thought it was possible before the event that Eric were going to win? I didn't.

So why is there no way he wins it again?

Besides my point was to point out that fargo although a good indicator of skill over time is not "deadly accurate" to predict who will win.

So how have you done up there? I've been there lots with only a little success as far as results go. But probably more success than most. It's a tough row to hoe.

I've like JC's method (at least for the first finishing of a shaft):

Ok ha ha thank you for taking the time to explain it !

Incapable. I am better at breaking things. It is probably not very difficult but I have no handles and would prob do a poor job anyway.

I acquired it this way. Hoping I can send it to someone who can fix it nicely. Thanks.

It is often necessary. I think more of the problem is players wanting to look like Joe Magic on a stick - and leaving out the particulars.

Four one-piece cues about 100-years old for sale — $400 shipped

Cues by O.L. Briggs & Son company of Boston MA made sometime between 64 and 125 years ago during that business's existence (it had been O.L. Briggs since 1870).

The 16 and 17 ounce cues appear to be made of mahogany and maple, while the 18 and 19 ounce cues, purple heart and maple.

Cue lengths 57" to end of tenon. No ferrules on the cues but buffalo-horn ferrules included for installation.

Butt diameters at bottom for the 16, 17, 18, and 19 ounce cues: 1.35", 1.37", 1.39", and 1.39" diameter, respectively.

Butt diameters about twelve inches from the first splice near butt end are 1.22" for all cues.

Diameters below ferrule bottom (if a ferrule was on cue): 12.1, 12.3, 12.6, 12.5 mm, resp.

Tenon diameters: 6.5 diam.x14.6mm length, 6.5x11mm, 6.2x13.1mm, 6.6x14mm, resp.

Also included are parts likely used a hundred years ago: i) six buffalo horn ferrules (four 17x27mm with 6mm tenon & air holes and two 17x33mm undrilled ferrules from Cue Components); and ii) five Champion 13mm cue tips.

Some wobble to the cues.

He's Frozone from the Incredibles and I believe the actual quote is "Honey, Where's my super suit?"

Yes, I get a little pucker when drilling the first hole in Tomahawk from the heat, but after that no problems drilling, boring, or tapping. I am new to Hydex but no issues so far.

Here are some videos live threading and taping.
