First off I’m not a mechanic but if someone called me to move a table I’d charge x. If they wanted it moved twice, I’d charge 2x. Also, the estimate given isn’t based off the best case scenario, because that can’t always happen. An experienced mechanic won’t be that naive. Leveling can...

Great write-ups, Jay, thank you so much!

If it’s his first cue let him buy a cheap one and learn

PM sent, thx

My hope is that they are getting some good commentators for it...and I think it would be sweet to put this on Prime Video or something...but a DVD would work too, which would allow for extended cuts with discussions, etc.

The realtor was talking about keeping it if I didn’t want it, so the felt was coming off either way...but the slate was so bad I refused to move it because I thought it was dangerous, so there went my being able to recoup my travel costs by moving it for him to his house...

This is the other picture that I got because I couldn’t stick my head up and take a look...I used my phone to take a look at the ball return

This picture doesn’t do it (the damage to the slate) justice...

The realtor told me (while I was refelting it) that it was restored in the 80s. (That would’ve been nice to know before I left my house) It was not restored to perfection, and the person signed their name on one of the rails, unlegibly. The realtor also said the owner paid 35k for it, which is...

This is the quick version story of my awful weekend: Two weeks ago Bill Smith posted about a table for sale for 6k that he had access to that was restored to perfection. Before I could get much more information he posted that it was sold. Then last week I saw the same table posted by Bob...

I deposited my check yesterday. The BIHs are there to facilitate run outs. The idea of the league it to turn anyone into a run out player. It’s different and I felt pretty silly taking BIHs at first. Then I got over it and decided I would master it, but as you might have seen it didn’t help...

I turned this one slower because of how much I spent on the blank. As you know, pics just don’t do figure justice. Everyone who has seen or hit it really likes it. Straight as can be. Because it’s a bit lighter you end up with a little more feel. I hit with this shaft about a week, then the...

Holy cow! Why did I get into this dangerous hobby??

I have someone who wants a custom wood pin. Does anyone have an older thread mill they would sell? If I can’t find one, I might have a referral for someone.

Finally took it apart. It was just a broken wire. Back in business.
