Uni-loc is both a style of quick disconnect and a brand name. The original Uni-loc is a quick-release style of disconnect where the male pin that is extended outside of the joint is totally smooth, and the threads are recessed into the joint. The female side of the joint on the shaft has a...

Hello, I just want to back up KJ on this one. In his specific case, I actually tried to get his motor to reverse, and it absolutely would not. I am an industrial electrician, so I know how to reverse a DC motor, all you need to do is to reverse the polarity of either the rotor leads OR the...

I cannot say for sure, but I would guess that it would not affect the worldwide price of ivory one bit. I remember reading an article in USA today a few years back about Zimbabwe or Zambia or one of those other African countries that has been stockpiling poached ivory for years, they had a HUGE...

THAT thing is F-ing INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the best case I have ever seen. Jim Notestine

I was thinking Red Palm, but Pecan might be it too.

Almost looks like Katalox. Very heavy wood, oily, not much figure, and almost all brown. Jim Notestine

I have to ask, why is Thorsten Hohmann listed as being USA??? Just curious.

I will try this out one day, but merely because my cousin owns a bowling alley with 8 lanes, good maple on the front 1/3 of the lanes. He has been in the business (alleys) for quite a while now, and he says that on his lanes, the front 1/3 or so is hard maple, the middle is actually pine, and...

I have Stinger also ...and I can tell you why I decided to change the Stinger tip. After having the cue less than a month, I literally broke the Stinger tip in half during a break. Half of the tip stuck to the ferrule, and the other half literally disappeared. It took me 5 minutes of...

I used a piece of it in my last cue, bought it from Amazon Exotic Hardwoods. Bought it is "Figured Asian Satinwood", looked it up on TheWoodDatabase and they say it is also called Curly Pyinma. Piece machined great, no problems, had fantastic chatoyance, and overall was a great piece of wood...

I only see one problem with it....per their website, the only available color is Amber. I don't know how that would look gluing up lighter woods, or anything really where you might see a glue line....? Anybody have any ideas....? Jim Notestine

Looks a lot like an old Sears & Roebuck cue that my dad left me. I have it in the basement, and for sentimental reasons I will not get rid of mine, but the removable weight rings, woodburned handle, looks VERY similar to mine. Not a very valuable cue, maybe $20 range in the 1970's, and probably...
