    http://www.japanwoodworker.com/dept.asp?dept_id=13215&s=JapanWoodworker Scroll down to right hand/left hand bevel knives. I own an assortment of each in different sizes.

    MADMAN New 3 layered B/J. tips

    Excellent! Juan is a great guy to deal with. I ordered some j/b tips and got them within a few days. The tips arrived well packaged with tracking and delivery confirmation. I never recommend anything to my customers unless they're a proven product or I've tried them myself, so... First thing I...

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    Thanks to everyone that posted a response and your opinion on what should have happened. I look forward to hearing Buddy's response on the ruling from the BCAPL.

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    Rules are rules. Discretion on enforcement will only lead to further problems. And there's nothing to get over. I didn't lose the US Open because of this, nor did I lose any money. I just posed a question for an intelligent discussion or response. You have your opinion on the matter, I choose...

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    So let me get this straight, "because you're the td", you'd pick and choose which rules you're going to enforce in your tourney and which you're not because "there are many bad rules in pool"? You can't make arbitrary rulings and end it with "because I'm the td and I say so!" You DO NEED to know...

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    So for the most part it sounds as though most agree it is not a foul on my part. I would think responsibility for spotting the ball would lie with the person that made the ball. In one pocket, you make a ball illegally or into a neutral pocket, you spot the ball.

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    If you read my post, I didn't notice the missing nine ball, otherwise I would have spotted it up. It wasn't until well into my run that my friend walked up and spotted it, knowing that I didn't know it was pocketed.

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    Whether it "has to be a foul" or not, it isn't (as far as I know) addressed in the BCA rulebook. It certainly was my fault for not noticing the missing nine ball. However, if a td wanted to call me for a foul on that point, then my opponent could certainly be called for unsportsmanlike conduct...

    Spotting balls - who's responsible?

    Had this happen to me the other night at the pool hall. I was playing some 9-ball with my buddy while some of our other friends were watching. He scratches on his break. I take bih and start my run. After each ball I pocket, he's laughing. By the 3rd or 4th ball pocketed, everyone's laughing. At...

    How do I use my new compression dies?

    When I first tried using my new Unique tenon threader many moons ago, I got the same result as shown in your last pic. It would chew up the wood the further up the tenon went into the threader. I did the searches and followed posted advice but to no avail. No matter what I tried I couldn't get...

    New large bore indexing headstock.

    I got in line early and ordered one the day Todd told me they were ready. All I can say is it is an awesome replacement for a standard small bore headstock. When I got it I was more than happy with it. I've been wanting one for quite a while. Further, I have to say what a joy it is to deal...

    Perils of leaving your cue in the car?

    I don't have any "real world experience" with this issue because I never leave my cues in my car other than driving them to and from the pool hall. However, McDermott offers a lifetime warentee on their cues, which also covers warpage, should you have to leave your cues in your car and they bend.

    pickle in a pickle

    Your first question is easy. Drug dealers don't check id's when someone comes to their "counter." As long as the money is green they're gonna make the handoff. On top of that, most kids that are in possession of an amount for their personal use don't deal directly with the dealers. They get...

    pickle in a pickle

    Thanks. As you say it could happen to a lot of us. Fortunately it doesn't. Most of us that managed to steer clear of that sort of thing have common sense and the ability to determine right from wrong.

    Hey Joey. Thanks for the recognition. It's always nice to hear that we're appreciated from time to time as opposed to the crappy attitudes we normally endure. I'll try to answer your questions as well as I can. In regards to your distant relative. The statement about taking the drugs to keep...
