    Looking for a steel GCI foot

    That is my quote and it is due to my preference. Helicoils work, but I've seen a lot that aren't installed correctly and damage the fastener or part. They also take a special tap. The ez-lok solid inserts use normal taps and no special insertion tools.

    So? I never said that they didn't, I simply stated my preference.

    Funny pic/gif thread...

    It's Vica Kerekes in 'Men in Hope', appears to be a Czech movie released in 2011. Apparently it is about a guy teaching his son-in-law how to cheat on his wife.

    Micarta Ferrules which to buy and where?

    Oh, you meant that the asbestos 'micarta' was all military material. Your first post was a bit ambiguous. I can believe that there were military-only runs/mixes of phenolics.

    Micarta Ferrules which to buy and where?

    I don't know where you got your information, but Micarta was a Westinghouse brand, which inherently means it wasn't all, 'military made'. In fact, none of it was made by the military. Maybe you meant that it was Mil. Spec., but even that doesn't necessary limit the use to military.

    Neither did miss Clinton. I understand that people are all about sharting all over anyone who doesn't worship the same dirty politician that they do, but anyone with half a brain and a semblance of a heart would really feel sorry for Chelsea. She was raised by horrible people who trotted her...

    "Star LA chef who doubles as one of America’s best pool players"...NOT!!!

    Maybe. Maybe not. Does in not deride our sport to have people think that some dude who started playing well past his prime and practices for several hour per week is 'one of the top players in america'? That is insulting to even someone like me who is only a couple of hundred points above...

    "Star LA chef who doubles as one of America’s best pool players"...NOT!!!

    Yeah, I don't know... I know a comedian who claims to be a world champion foosball player to boost her youtube and booking profile. She did win a capped event at a large tourney with her mother (who is a legitimate foosball legend), but she is pretty mediocre in the grand scheme of things...

    Best All-Around Production Cue for ~$1000 (Value, Playability, Durability, Support)?

    Whatever you do, stay away from gimmick joints. Uniloc, all the Mezz garbage, weird 'radial', etc.. 3/8-10 is a staple joint and adding shafts/extensions will be much easier. No joint screw provides any 'playability' benefit over any other screw.

    consew CSM-550-1 motor issue

    The motor controller is likely bad. I believe those use pulse-width-modulation (PWM) to control speed with high torque. The knob is not exactly a potentiometer (or if it is, it controls other circuitry and not the motor directly). PWM controllers require more than a voltmeter to troubleshoot.

    Very unique pool cue with an 8 Point (Staircase Point) design.

    I haven't seen that exactly, but I've been thinking about a design a bit like that, but repeated with symmetry.

    They put everything in that cue except for design continuity.

    Can any wood be repurposed?

    Well, there are 'custom' cabinets, and there are actual custom cabinets. It's kinda funny that you mention this because my father was a custom cabinet builder--in that he planed, sanded, milled every piece of real wood. When I was 22 I was a project manager/designer for a 'custom' cabinet and...

    Can any wood be repurposed?

    That 'wood' isn't worth the cost of developing the digital photos... If your boss thought that was custom built for him, maybe he would like to buy a car I custom built:
