Best in Billiards Names the Greatest Players, Products and Contributors in American Billiards History

I didn't think of it being an AI money grab, but it did seem like the whole thing was very suspect. I still don't see where they are making money from this.

On the other hand, I did see that Brumback was acknowledged by the state of Kentucky for being named as best banks player. That was kinda cool. I think Nick might have been acknowledged in some way too.
I can think of two ways they might make money. One is with ads on the site. The other is by getting money from the honorees or maybe future honorees.

Nick Varner did get a commendation from the state.

I'm bothered to hear anyone say, "I'm really humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award," when it's all AI crap.

so i’ve decided to make cues

There are two types of people. Those that see a barrier to what they want to accomplish and that’s the reason they can’t make a cue.

Then there’s people who see the same barrier and they simply find a way to overcome it to accomplish what they want to accomplish.

OP overcoming financial barriers to enter the game is a testament to his ability to adapt and overcome.

Not sure why you would shit all over that.

We all had to start somewhere and eventually this guy will get his big time lathe and be all the better innovator for it.

We aren’t exactly in the golden age of cuemakers. Almost looks like a dying industry conceded to big corporations. I can’t see how your approach makes things better.

Why should I make it better? There is too much information given freely to hacks which undermines custom cue making as a whole.

Read his posts, I only responded in kind.

I also gave him the advice he is following now with the wood lathe and chuck.

Finally, n the tooling is something that will be used on every cue, some sort of craftsmanship should be devoted to making the jigs.

The truth is that there are two ways to go about making cues. Either but the cuemaker-in:a-box kits, or innovate. Innovation takes time, ability, money, and thought. The kits take money.

Not everybody should be a cue maker.

Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is mesmerizing.
