+1 However, with that being the thought. There are many that got hood winked into believing they are all that. To the OP...I suspect the faces of your joint are amiss (or a mess) which ever you prefer. My guess is one or possibly both faces are convex and not fully locking. If this is the case...

I guess my view is a bit different on this subject. A veneer is a veneer. It doesn't matter how it is made, it's still a veneer. I know many call this style recuts. And it is...a recut veneer. A veneer is described as a thin layer (could be of different types of material depending on the...

I wasn't going to say anything from when I I first looked at this post. I'm sure the math is just a little skewed. However doing this style of cue on every pointed cue I build I certainly understand the exacting precision that is involved in a build such as this. If it's a 4pt cue then 12...

IMO disrespectful to room and the owner that is supplying you the place to play. But I guess that's just how I was raised. I've always walked into the restroom and grabbed a paper towel and if none, a couple bar napkins have always worked just fine. Then dispose of in a garbage can where all...

Not really sure how to read into this but if you're referring to me as a stoner it's not appreciated.

It was entirely to soon for April 1

Make that coin weight disappear by putting it on the scale and pressing the tare button if you intend to use it for size.

It really doesn't matter who or what. Very simply if someone has something to sell and they are asking that you send money to some other name...run don't walk. Too many times people get caught up in what they feel is a deal to good to pass up and do stupid stuff. I've been there myself only to...

For you... maybe right up your alley. ;) For me... what would you do with a half finished shaft? :unsure:

A little over 11 years on the forum and 18 posts. 11 of them have been in this thread. The man is clearly bored and just trying to get a rise of the group.

This thread reminds me of the guy that walks into the shop and asks to put a 2 dollar tip on they bring with them.... Guy with tip: Do you install tips? Cuemaker: Sure, you want to wait for it? Guy with tip: How much? Cuemaker: $20 if you wait for it...$20 if you leave it. Guy with tip: But I...

Nickel silver Stainless steel Sterling silver All three different metals.

Torrified/roasted/baked/cooked maple wood is put through this process to squeeze the moisture from it and collapse the interior cells so moisture has a much harder time getting back into or out of the wood. When you remove the weight from wood this way it is naturally going to make it lighter...

And that's the only way it should be. ;)

This can at times be an uncertain thing. I have done refinishes where I asked if they wanted the shaft spruced up and a new tip installed. I was told that if I touched the shaft other than 3 inches of new finish at the joint they may never speak to me again! 😅 I've also been in situations where...

Wow! Dribble? You didn't get what you paid for but you weren't out any cash? Typical posturing in todays world...always someone else's fault! What I have or have not to do is really none of your business. I'm only here to help cause you certainly need some.

Probably not Proficient's fault. If these things aren't totally talked about pre job then even though they may see these things need attention, if it's not on the work order, it's not going to get done. Now again, in the right place, the individual/company doing the work should bring this to...

OK...so it becomes a little clearer now. You really didn't get "shafted" per se. You were reimbursed for things that didn't play out as you had wished. Had you got shafted...you would not have received anything. I understand it sucks when we try to make an online purchase and it doesn't play...

Hate to say it but the price of everything thing is going up. The cost of my clear finish alone has jumped again. Welcome to the new world we live in. Don't worry, it'll get fixed! As far as the cost of your cue getting refinished. And this is only if it were in my shop, but you could expect...
