One big change I have seen is the lack of pool halls in my area. I grew up in Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa. When I was a kid almost every little town had a pool hall. Snooker was very popular back then. All those pool halls are gone now. Sure we still have bars that will have a bar...

Thanks Jason. I will do that. Yesterday when I was searching for different cue lathes I was on some site that they had a support for sale for just that purpose. Of course I don't remember what the site was. LOL If I remember right they wanted something like 50 bucks for it.

Thanks for the info. I have looked at both Cuesmith and Mid-America lathes and they do look nice and are made in the USA but I just don't think I can justify spending that amount of money to just put a few tips per year on. I did try to search for used ones and there just doesn't seem to be...

Yes that does look very similar. Thanks for posting.

Do you have one that you would recommend for basic work?

Has anyone tried this little lathe? All I want to do is use for putting on tips and maybe a ferrule from time to time. Amazon has it for sale here...

Just ordered a new Littman light last week but was told it would be two months before shipment.

Played several games of 8 ball last night with the new shaft and played well with it. This was on a bar box at the local watering hole with friends. Had one break and run and for me that's a good night! This is my first CF shaft so I wasn't sure if I would like it. It is a little different...

We have a guy in our pool league that just grinds the chalk on. Sounds like he is calling turkeys. He does for about 5 to 10 seconds after every shot. His tips can't last long!

Thanks. I'm not sure that I will like it but at least if I don't I'm not out that much money compared to some of them. The great thing is if I don't like it all I have to do is put the maple back on!

I just received my Springfield shaft today and thought I would give a quick review. First I would like to mention that I had a problem when ordering because even though using my visa card they still run it through paypal and the name they use was kind of strange so it caused a fraud alert...

That is a nice looking pool hall!

Yeah I think I'm leaning that way. Are they dimmable?

I have metal lights night with LED bulbs in them but they were a cheap set and I don't like the looks with this table.

Thanks. Really good pictures on that thread.
