Gene - I thought I was going crazy because I thought you dropped me a message but then I couldn't find it. Here it was all along - my first visitor message.

Anyway, it's going alright. I've been busy on the home front with the kiddos so not much time for pool right now. It's sort of on the back burner right now.

I see you are still a busy man. I'm still following your thread, it's one of the more interesting ones on AZ. Maybe our paths will cross again...

Hey Nro', Thanks for the BIG User CP ! When are you going to

Tom,

Will you give me goob itrader feedback? Thanks

These are the things I bought...that I should have bought right off the bat!

60 Degree Live Center
Hightower Compression Die for Ferrules and Joints
Reamer Set
Center Drill Set
5 and/of 15 minute epoxy - I use this if I have a little slop with my joint pins/joints
Loctite Gel Super Glue - I use it for tips, ferrules, joints, joint pins...everything!
Sandpaper - 180/220/400/600/800/1000/1500/2000
Soft Scrub - Takes the place of Unique Shaft Cleaner
Mequires Carnuba Car wax - Takes the place of every cue wax out there
Coping saw

Mind you, I'm converting house cues and eventually going to build cues. After I started installing pins, I found I needed a lot more than I had and there was no standard I used so I was all over the place and ended up buying more stuff than I really needed. Hope this helps, feel free to ask me anything.

Here's the list I started out with...the majority of this was based on cue repair, etc.

Plano Storage Boxes
Loctite Super Glue
220/600/800/1000 Grit Sandpaper
Scotch Brite Pads
Utility Knife
Utility Knife Blades
Paper Towels
Tweeten 9" Sandpaper Shapers
Tweeten Sandpaper Refills
Fiber Pads for Tips
Shop Towels
Unique Shaft Cleaner
Unique Shaft Sealer
Unique Shaft Wax
Digital Calipers
Big Tackle Box
Blue or Red non-stick tape
5/16" Drill Bit
1/4" Drill Bit
3/8" Drill Bit
#29 Drill Bit
3/8"-16 Tap
3/8"-10 Tap
5/16"-14 Tap
5/16"-18 Tap
7/16"-14 Tap
8-32 Tap

Hi there Bill,
No immediate plans but I have a person that wants a lesson there. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I have a lesson also with a guy from Madison. He's coming to Dubuque.
I'll see how it goes here in Dubuque. I should be here until next Wed for sure doing lessons.
The lesson is $200 and that includes the video so you never forget what you learn and can review from time to time.
I'll keep you posted if i get close. Thanks again

Rack em til you learn

The New Layout !
Usually when my FAV websites change their layouts I think why ?
It's like you have to renavigate your way around it all over again so some you ditch and some you keep but this new layout on AzBilliards looks real cool !

Top Sports action over here in the UK and Thursday night serves up The Finale of The Premier League of Dart's 2013 . Every event I got to see was a sell out and I wonder if the format will be used in the Snooker . The Dart guy's are on week 15 Semi final's & Final's night ! I also wonder if the Dart's format could resell U.S.Pool to U.S. TV but no responce so far !

Europa Cup Final:
Benfica 1 V 2 Chelsea.
I was calling it 3-1 for Chelsea , Lampard to score 1st & that for the scorecast and Chelsea HT/FT.I heard the line up and Lampard was playing ahead of the back 4 line up.So I changed my mind and thought Torres for 1st scorer but I would've went the same deal but never bet as I changed my mind.Torres did score 1st but it was Draw HT/FT Chelsea and so if I put my bets on I would've been up as Torres was 11/2 but when you change your mind , just don't bet .

Gene,

When are you going to Racine? We could drive down.

And how much is it for a lesson?
