The spud got you too? Here I thought I was special! :angry:
It really has, Mr. Wilson really should just close it, it's dead anyway
what more purpose can it serve, except a personal attack battle groundIt's LIAR dipshit. I will TALK LOUD AND SLOW AGAIN BECAUSE OBVIOULSY YOU CAN'T KEEP UP
I didn't say anything because I was new to AZ and didn't know there were other guys out there that could do the same work. Knowing what I know now about you, I wouldn't let you polish my balls, let alone touch my table. And as for calling me a liar, send me a PM next time your in my area. I might not be able to whip you, but if you're feeling froggy, then jump fat man. Calling someone a liar is a big deal around here, especially if you're wrong.
Yeah.....it's freakin' great, it's just so nonsensically hilarious, I mean it really is. :rotflmao1:

It was a little scary looking at first but it sure turned out great! I am glad I got to work on your table and glad you are happy with it.

P.s. Tell your wife thanks for the banana bread. It was tasty!!
That was a post from Zach moron. I've said multiple times that Zach is welcome here anytime, but not you. Safe travels

This table had 2 head end slates 1" thick with 1" wood backing, and the reason I say head slates is because there was no relief in the foot slate to allow room for the score counters, so Zach had to grind off the edge of the slate to allow room for the score counters...turning one head slate into an end slate. Then the center slate was from a newer version GC3 because though it was 1" thick, it only had a 3/4" backer board, so it didn't match up with the other slates at all, which is why all the plaster from the last mechanic.
The rail skirts were from GC1's and 2's, while the ball box was from a GC3. Legs were from a GC3, but the frame was from a GC2, and the cross members were from a GC1. Rails...they were the only thing matching, as well as the pocket castings. Ball return was GC3.
It took Zach 2 full days to level the slates, fill and glue the seams. Then apply bondo to the seams, and sand it flat using my special tools to insure the slate and seams were flat and wouldn't cause any balls to roll off, so even though the slates were really pretty much screwed...he made them turn out perfect.
Not going to bore you with all the details, but after all the prep work was done, and the rails gone through, cushions reglued, facings replaced, Zach installed the cloth on the rails and slate...this job from hell was over.
In the following pictures, you can see the table turned out as perfect as could be with what we had to work with, Kyle was just blown away that it could even be fixed up....let alone the way it turned out as a finished product as well....as Zach
Zach learned quite a bit about being a billiards technician on this table....you can take that to the bank
Great job Zach, customers in Phoenix have no clue what they're getting when you finish up training buddy....but they'll find out soon enough once you get back home....and schools out!!!

Glen, the "Realkingcobra"...with a watchfull eye on Zack...believe me people...he's an upcoming great, top of the line "Billiards Technician"
That's right Idaho, that's your pool table, the comments you made at the time, and all the problems with the table you bought, and what Zach and I had to go through to get the table in playing condition, I also brought forward the thread I posted all about your table so that other might get to read the truth about your claims about me during the time frame I was at your house...and don't forget where I picked your used table up at, and transported it all the way to your house...and how much I charged you for doing the whole job...buddy!!!

Read my post and look at the pics moron. Did I shake your hand for a pic when the job was done? No, because Zach did all the work and you were a tool. You came to the house at 10am the second day, when Zach had been working on the table for a couple hours. Zach was a great guy and is welcome here anytime, but you are a classless tool who keeps digging a bigger hole because you can't do the right thing.
Two men enter, one man leave.
Who run Bartertown?
Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all... Bartertown learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here!.......
Remember.. No matter where you go, there you are.

Idaho is TROLL, BIG one :barf:
How long would Tony's job have taken?
Are the people at Diamond such slave drivers that you couldn't have knocked this job out when you got there? I mean you were trying to do a guy a favor, which is something that hasn't gotten you much credit in this thread (though it should) and you had set a time expectation with Tony.
I posted in this thread originally because of the tenor of your reply and apparent lack of empathy for leaving a guy without a table for months longer than expected. My Diamond is my most prized possession and the idea of it being disabled going on half of a year would be indescribable anguish. Each time I had to pass it in the house and look at it would be like picking the scab off of a cut that wouldn't heal.
Being as well respected and obviously passionate about this industry I would think you would understand those feelings, yet your response did not have a shred of empathy or accountability.
This thread would be dead and I would have never posted here if that's what happened.
Having a rip off thread constantly on the top of the list does nothing to repair your rep. and you don't seem interested in mitigating that.

This has to be one of the Top 5 Most Insane Threads here on AZB, right up there with The Trent/Meridian Blades thread and The Trent/Meridian Blades thread Part 2 !!!
Spoilers: There's both video and multiple accounts in the sequel !!! :grin-square:
Welcome to another edition of Thunderdome !!!!
I am not even at the end of the thread yet, but I really wanted to figure out what this meant so....

Translation, good morning! :grin:
Sad thread, peeps. New people to pool and new users to the site get to come on here and read this. Wow. :frown:

What a diplomatic answer to an easy solution. Congrats:
I enjoy the mountains we build out of mole hills here on AZB as much as anyone. We are a group of friends and cyberfriends with a similar interest who are inducted into and guided through a way to communicate with one another, by a very generous leader, and, it doesn't cost us squat. When you figure our numbers against the general population, it's a pretty exclusive club. Sure, there's a lot of griping and mud slinging (sticks and stones stuff) but there are lessons to be learned, daily...
such as Ambassador Woody's poste.
And, don't get me wrong. I like the mud slinging too. Just so long as I don't get dirty.

Without a thread like this how would people know what Glen is really like? People would get a promise of a certain date and that would go by with no contact. Im not saying Glen isnt good at his trade but there are lots of other mechanics or what ever you want to call them thats are skilled as well !! I had my rails done by Jack Zimmerman with extended subrails and new cushions wrapped in 860 hr and my table setup by the great guys at The Billiard Shop from Halifax NS. and my table looks and plays great and all deadlines were met and I was kept up to date with emails and pictures,I cant figure out how Glen could make my table play better then these professionals did and even if he could it wouldnt be worth the hassle of dealing with him anyway. And I wouldnt have known that if it wasnt for threads like this.
