    MY VARNEY NIGHTMARE unbelievable

    After seeing so many threads of this nature regarding this cuemaker it's hard not to believe Cincyman's account. That said, I don't understand the support this cuemaker is shown by parts of this community. NOBODY builds or sells anything worth having to accept this show of blatent...

    Billiard Glasses ??

    I got a pair from the Doc in Canada... they work great. Maybe just as important was the user-friendly service. Without belaboring the details, there were some shipping/customs difficulties getting them to me in the Bahamas. He went way beyond the "call of duty" to make it happen. Good guy...

    They never saw the $$$$....

    I can't help wondering how many black-eyes there'd be if some of these comments were being made on the "playground". bob

    Shaft wax / sealant

    Hello, all... I've been using Butcher's Wax for close to 40 yrs on all kinds of woods... even use it on table saw tops, etc. While I wouldn't argue with the use of denatured alchohol for cleaning before waxing, I've found that simply applying the wax with a very fine 3m pad (600xx) is all...

    Yes, it's another Kevin Varney thread!

    As to the merit (and placement) of these threads... While I admit that the drama within the threads gets to be a little overbearing, I, for one, appreciate the perspective. As someone who is planning to commission a cue, it gives me the kind of info that helps me determine whether I add or...

    What expectations should a buyer have when they purchase a Custom Cue

    This is a pretty timely thread based on several recent issues... the results of your poll clearly show that most folks share pretty reasonable expectations when doing business with a cuemaker. It's obvious that there are many talented and dedicated craftsmen building cues... it's a shame that...

    Notice to Diamond of no longer delivering pool tables.

    I found myself reading this entire thread looking for a rationale that would allow for posting this kind of thing in a public forum. Sometimes being right just isn't enough, Glen. With all due respect, bob

    Brent Hartman, BHQ

    First time posting pics... apologize in advance if I blow it. Another BHQ that I bought recently from Jim L (btw, as easy and straight forward transaction as anybody could ask for) Only been hitting with it a month or so but it's hard to imagine playing with a cue that hits much better.

    Does anyone know anyone in the Florida Keys

    Tulip, I lived in the keys for almost 20 yrs before moving here to the Bahamas. Still speak with a number of flats guides pretty regular... they're almost all getting between 500-600 per day for 2 ppl. Feb can be pretty busy time for them but if you poke around a few of the marinas in the early...

    Thoughts on the Table I just finished building

    Very nice job Greg!!! Nice design as well. As a fellow woodworker I think I've got a pretty good idea of the kind of effort that's gone into the project... and hopefully, the sense of accomplishment you're enjoying. :) I just finished a poker table and have been toying with the idea of building...

    new guy saying hi... and a question.

    Johnny, know what you mean about the party thing... may well have had something to so with my present day memory flop! Do you remember the Levittown room on HempTurnpike, was on the N side, was it the Golden Cue? BTW, the shoestore under the room in Hemp was Flagg Bros not Florsheim... maybe...
