no clue what you're asking to do.

It says "you" on his device because he is the one who did the "like".

It shows his name on other people's devices.

John jr. is playing some $500 sets of 9 ball at Fat Cats in Asheville tonight. His dad has been playing some $50 1 hole to pass the time. Both are interesting gentlemen.

I have been searching for a pool table for a little while now and I came across a Gold Crown AK variant. It has a serial number k4554. Does anyone anything about these? What would this be worth?

That seems like a lot of money for that table.

you can cut them to any size for a customer. your pants don't come in one size and you have to resize them.

I was just thinking about this a little bit more and it is doable. I could write a program that would use a website form for a user to enter in the tip information and then the program woud create a cnc g-code to cut out each tip from a layered leather sheet. They could choose a tip radius as well and even a depth, since some people like layers cut off on install. Then using a tip centering tool, they could just glue it on and go.

However, it would have to be with the disclaimer that the user is responsible for any install related issues, since you would still need to burnish in the tip sides to properly install it.

For it to be feasible, it would probably have to be $35 for a single and $30 each for 2-3 and $27 for 4-10 etc.

To the best of my knowledge Jim Stadum still owns Samsara. But based on everything I've read, he's super hard to get a hold of. He does still post things online every once in a while but it's very hit or miss. I might be misremembering this next part, so take it however you'd like, but I also seem to recall reading somewhere a while back that they were doing production work for another cue company.

Having said all that, the first custom cue I ever ordered was from them way back around 2000. They quoted me six months and it delivered six months and one day later. Some of you might have read this next part before, but that cue is the only thing I've ever regretted selling. It was absolutely perfect in every way and played lights out. The wood and build quality was as good as I've ever seen on any cue.

That table they are playing on. It sure seems like the balls roll a great deal. It looks so fast. Most shots they are stroking so easy. It appears to play so much better and faster than my Gold Crown IV. Of course we have been all through that many times.

A cue can't easily be taken apart and put together, it's not LEGO..
Can you replace individual components in a cue? To a certain extent. But if a cue has so much wrong with it that it doesn't make sense from a time or money perspective it's often best to leave it. Time does funny things to materials and it can be very hard to match colours, weave patterns etc.

Thought I would put a leather wrap on it, not sure of style yet maybe ostrich.

My vote for leather would be either smooth black pigskin or lightly textured black leather. I tend to like the simpler wraps, though. The more exotic stuff tends to take away from the rest of the cue in my eyes. Now... If it was a jet black ebony or maple plain jane, that's where the more exotic stuff looks nice. Again, just my opinion.

For the love of God just release the DigiBall.

Keep in mind, if your going to play leagues it's always 7', and sometimes the smaller ones.
Purchased new. Cougar 93' home with ball return. $2,000 or I'll store it.

I’ve played on about everything in my 50 ish years of playing. I like these valleys for just playing and having fun. A big tough small pocketed table is just not fun to play on. I know I play bad. I don’t need the table reminding me on every shot.

$42.50 a week went a long way... I worked in a clothes cutting factory... One 'Cutter" said to me he'll be making $125 a week and will be set for life.

That was good money in 1970.

Those lights are nice! I will probably get the same from Amazon. I have the same ceiling lights as you do, but not as white and bright, they are more yellow-ish.

Each pot has a 60 watt LED and not offensive to the eyes while playing or sitting and good light on the bed of the table. The combination of the 4 ceiling lights and table lights go well together
