Saw your post about Jimmy Abel. I used to play in White Plains and knew Jimmy also. He was a very good guy, and very knowledgeable about pool and life. You're right he did have a Jedi master sort of way about him. As you probably know, he was also an expert hypnotist and knew a lot about a lot of different subjects. I saw part of that 24-hour pocketing record at Executive Billiards in White Plains. Jimmy was explaining to me afterwards about how caught a rhythm by playing so fast and for so long.

Jimmy also wrote a good book about pool, although it hasn't been circulated widely.

He was an all-around nice guy, interesting, smart, and great pool player and teacher. Thanks for bringing him up in your post.

Take care,
Larry Moy

My light project proved challenging enough but had to use what I had at the time. My dad donated the electrical wire and all I had to buy was the track, connector, remote dimmer, and something to fish the wire thru. Three weekends later, the project was finally done. I will try new bulbs to help get the shadows closer to the rails, but anticipate building a lamp system like yours.
Sorry, i am talking about the offset that is attached to the drill chuck on the tailstock.
I could use one or something similar
Hey CC, I was just wondering what your name is. I live here in the Hampton/Newport News area and I bet some of these fellas that have been playing here a while would know you. You seem like a very good stick and I like hearing stories from the older players. Did you know a player they called Swamprat? Anyways, take care.
Hi there! I'm currently working as a real estate agent. I've been doing transactions in lulea for a long time. Most of the clients are now contently living in the place.
Thanks for your comments on the light with my Anniversary. I also thought about a rounded-corner design, but decided that was beyond my woodcrafting skills. The light is even better now than in the avatar photo, since I found some silver parabolic egg crate reflectors to replace the thin white ones shown.
yeah, the matching light is awesome. I have a '46 Anniversary and want to do a light system like the one you have which seems to be based on the Diamond Pro light design, which is the best table light I've ever seen in the industry. Currently using a retro can track lighting system until I have time to make something else. Thought about obtaining some old corner castings to use for the light's corners if they can be found. Crafting those rounded corners from wood seems a bit daunting.
No, I never heard back from them Skip! I just moved so maybe it is taking some time to catch up to me? Not sure. :/
Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs
I am a web developer and my pastime is surfing for an upplevelse. I am so excited because I can finally drive my dream car.
Thank you Glen, really am proud to be one of your evangelists! I wish so many good things for you. Hope your sales of the 9ft Billiard table are going well.

Ted
