My kid's friends can't seem to take care of a cue, and our better cues keep finding themselves being used and getting dinged up. I have these two butts laying around and need a couple of cheap factory take-off shafts that people likely having laying around collecting dust. Let me know what you...

Thanks much for all the feedback. It looks like there are quite a few directions to go with a beginner cue. I am currently looking at a cue offered up on the forum here. If it works out I know my son will be happy with his B-Day present. I will keep the other offers and suggestions in mind...

Maybe I should have said he was a bit better than low/average - this kid is 19 and been playing since he was 8 or 9. He doesnt dent/drop/or smack cues on the table. He has used my McDermot since he was maybe 13 or his brothers Dale Perry so he is worth of something decent. I would gladly grab...

Looking for recommendations for a decent cue in the $200-$400 range. I bought my older son an ebay era Dale Perry that seemed nicely made and played well for under $200. We are low to average players at best. My youngest son has played the most and really likes the game. We have a McDermot...

Why do you ask for advice to begin with? "I am interested in some other people's methods as I want to know if there is anything I can do to help my process. I look forward to learning some new stuff. Thanks for looking and for any info provided in this thread." but.... ....so I am totally...

Dude, you're gonna go broke in labor following this process.... All parts are sand blasted with a light medium. Start with 80 grit on the orbital, dry and then wet. then 100, grit on the orbital, dry and then wet. then 150, grit on the orbital, dry and then wet. then 220, grit on the orbital...

You can pull many dents and blemishes from wood with steam. After the finish is stripped, get a cotton towel or shop rag soaking wet and lay it on the dent you wish to remove folded into about a 4x4in square. Use a clothes iron turned all the way up hold on the wet rag over the dent. If you...

Glen, I am so sorry for you and your Brother's loss. No words are sufficient, but I am so glad you have found peace with his passing. I am sure that casket will be a beauty Todd

Glen, The Simonis DVD's I obtained in December have a staple down method shown first, followed by a glue down method. Todd

you have a PM...

Do you have any pics of the top lips that cover the metal trim? Just trying to see if they are in better shape than mine. Todd

I would just order new from classic billiards. I took mine off and began the dent removal and sanding and polishing route....I probably have 500 hours of time in my life on my buffing wheels and i decided it just wasnt worth it. If you look closely you can see the brads go in at an angle all...

my GC3 is copper plated. The feet were scratched and dinged enough that upon bead blasting with very fine media, it was clear that the copper was scratched through to the base metal. I primered them and painted with Valspar copper rattle can paint. At first I baked them in my garage oven...

Glenn, Here are the new numbers.... I am using machine screws and locknuts, and the black boxes represent shim locations. I did some shimming underneath outside of the center to tweak to flush with higher slate. I definitely got frustrated and got ahead of myself here and went ahead and...

I am pretty sure it is a GC3 frame....looks identical to the pics in the pdf assembly manual. Todd
