It has been under a tarp for a long time. Might need to get it out and give it some love. It is sentimental because it was bought new by my grandfather back in the 50's

Back in the Stone Age I did all my tapering using the offset tail stock method. I made a set of blocks that bolted to the tail stock and I would just offset it until it hit the adjustment screw. No measuring or indicating needed. Still have the machine so I unwrapped it and snapped a pic.

I built one 20+ years ago. Hollow section of butt filled with lead shot. Let's just say there is a reason I didn't make another.

Snow Whites cherry.

I'm in Homosassa. Typical day in Citrus County.

The loss of Ron is devastating. He was one of the finest gentleman I have ever met.

Todd Carpenter and some nobody.

The caliber of young players was unbelievable. I don't recall every seeing kids play as well as these before, especially the young ladies. I think having Savannah in the Cue and Case booth and Noelle in the Pechauer booth was cool because lots of younger kids got to play challenge matches with them.

I think this year was one of the best since it changed locations

I agree about the 20 being steep for the locals but by the time I pay for airfare, hotel, food, beer etc. it's not a real factor.

He charges $1500 for a 10X10 booth. I display at a few trade shows and it costs me around $4200 for a 10X10. Granted we are in larger, nicer halls than the Oaks but I don't think his price is out of line.

Don't make it harder than it has to be. Tape off joint, spray cue, razor blade finish flush with joint and sand/polish as usual.

I'm way to far removed from the Orlando pool scene. Back it the day it was meet at Sportstown for a few long necks and then hop in Lee's Chevelle and off to Jimmy's or Spatz depending on where the action was.

Ivorene 3 (not 4) is the closest thing to ivory that I have found.
