Now I agree with that... But still the same slate design as a GCI, which is without a doubt the finest pool table ever made..

I'm not asking you to buy anything, brother... And when I do, I can promise you you'll get my best behavior..
It is assumed and acknowledged that what I post is my opinion, so take it as that... IMHO, Diamond tables are junk, although I own one of their lights, and I love it..
Here's the after:
Table is tight-pocketed, perfectly level and fast! All the players love it now. The customer is very happy with the work.
By the way...Glen didn't do the work. Just one of his biased followers.
Haven't worked with Glen. What I said earlier was tips picked up from his posts here. Did attend the seminar in Alsip for the intent to meet him and the rest of the mechanics that were coming since it was close by, deliver a light to Josh and have a discussion with Ivan from Simonis. I did team up with Jack Z to install a bed cloth since I was already using the 3M10 glue method that Glen had posted.

You and one or two others here have expressed this opinion.
I doubt that continuously posting the same line of thinking is going to change the opinion of others nor will it change Glens' attitude which is what it is. So he's gruff and rough. So what. Everything one deals with won't be as sugar-coated as one likes. We all run into people that are the best at what they do but their attitude leaves a lot to be desired. You've said your piece so let it go.

No, we're the guy's that fix the tables that all those so called table mechanic's put together.....far from properly.
Just get a look at some of the shit we see everyday, and then you'll know how bad the install was.
I know it's just a pool table, and we only make a difference to the owner's of that table.
You call guy's dummy, and king ego.......something must have you on edge.
It's just a pool table in the end, so who really cares.

I only keep posting....
I only keep posting to correct people's continued misconstrueing of what I have stated. If people continue to quote me and misconstrue what I state, then I will continue to correct and repeat what I actually have stated....

Because it is... The design is impeccable (it's really a damn shame the design was lost forever in a fire).. I have seen GCIs of every possible condition brought back to life to become remarkable pool tables... I doubt that will happen when Diamonds are 50 years old..
Yeah, something has me on edge... I jump on this website for the first time and the first thing I read is this ***hole going off on everybody about their lack of prowess putting together a table... What a total jack stick that guy is..
Once again, if that guy came into my home with that attitude, he wouldn't last 30 seconds.. The guy is a jerk, period..
And what do you think you sound like? Someone to be respected? You either have another account on here and don't want the red rep or you plain don't give a sh#t about this forum.
RKC is obviously very good at what he does. But let's be realistic. He makes these topics to brag about his work and attract new customers.
It's obvious he doesn't give two shits about "raising the bar for other table mechanics". If he did, he would have personally contacted Ernesto and brought up his point to him in private, instead of trashing him publicly on here.
I'm not sure I understand most of you people. When someone made a topic about RKC and a derelict payment, people started trashing RKC because of his "I don't give a shit" and unprofessional attitude in that topic. When RKC finally payed the guy, everyone went back to "OH MY GOD RKC HAVE MY CHILDREN".
I wonder if that topic hadn't been made, would RKC have ever paid the guy back? Who knows. What I do know is that Ernesto is one of the nicest and most honest people I have ever met. He would never publicly trash another person's life-bread on here or anywhere. If Glen really thought Ernesto was doing something wrong, and cared about "raising the bar" he would have contacted Ernesto privately first and talked to him.
Ernesto is the best table mechanic on the west coast, and probably in the country. It's obvious that RKC feels threatened by him.

Rep to you sir for a fine post.
I went against a personal rule that I have of myself and posted in a thread that I had not read. I hadn't even read the first post, I just saw Hu as the last person posting in another multi-page thread by RKC. I commented because what I had seen on that one page was what I see every time I dare to read anything RKC posts. I didn't have a need to read the whole thread. Same stuff different day...
I'm glad I didn't read the thread because I wasn't aware that he once again publicly bad mouthed Ernesto.
I thought people were bringing it up from the last time he did it. Someone said "the haters" were jealous because RKC is the best & we're not. I know nothing about table mechanics, nor do I care to so getting jealous because he is better at it than I am is ludicrous. I couldn't care less. My issue with RKC is called a personality conflict, not jealously. The guy is full of himself which is off putting to most people and annoying.
RKC, I wouldn't care if you could run circles around Ernesto when it comes to table mechanics. The fact of the matter is that he is a better man than you will ever be. The pool world would be a much better, more respected place if we could figure out how to clone Ernesto and do away with the pontificating people like yourself.
I don't know Ernesto nor am I familiar with his work -
but by all means please tell us who you compared him against to formulate your opinion.
Why would I be threatened by Ernesto? I have more requests for rebuilding GC's in California than I work on in the next 5 years....I should be thanking him...you're right
Glen
PS. Get off the subject of Ernesto, I've never bashed him as a mechanic, I simply pointed out that K66 cushions don't fit on GC's unless the sub-rails are modified to accept them correctly. As far as ME contacting Ernesto, I believe that is something he should do...contact me, if he don't know how to install K55 cushions on GC's....I'd be glad to show him...at no charge, no different than any other mechanic

Now that right there is down right funny:grin-square:
flamers.... attention hungry fools that need bad attention just to get any at all.
keep up the good work sir!
NO NO NO :nono:
Not until we get the criteria dude used to make that statement about Ernesto being best in the country.
If someone chooses to make that kind of remark they need to back it up ... but I'm not holding my breath.
There's plenty of "top" mechanics on this forum that should be offended by such a remark even if it was only
posted to flame you.
