i bought a nice square block (1ft x 7in x 3in) of natural phenolic and noticed that the color is inconsistant thru the center of it. It has a dark 'vein' running thru the middle of it and the egdes are much lighter. do i scrap it or make tons of ferrules? Is there a certain direction to cut...

i have used Chris Hightowers and its great. you can also make your own sealer so u can get exactly what you want.... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=84691&highlight=shaft+sealer james

none taken, i dont know either, which is why i want to learn. i really dont think it would make a difference if its a bank or a cut shot. Your still aiming at a particular spot on the OB with a certain spot on the CB. I am probably wrong, which is why i have been trolling through the forums and...

Champ, i would just like a new way to look at the shot im taking. sometimes my game just doesnt 'click' so I want a system I can visualize to get my back into the groove. Besides it doesnt hurt to learn something new does it? James

perfect thank you...i hope i can some instruction...cuz i get EASILY distracted with good pool stories and such.

I have been reading a few threads on Hale and most everyone says to just call him. I would just like to know if you need to contact him through this forum or get an invite? Or just a certain time of the day? I really dont want to bother him if he is busy. Thanks, James Taylor

Everyone already knows the great customer service Chris has at cuesmith, I just wanted to join the crowd of more than satisfied customers. I ordered a mid-size lathe with a little bit of extras.I have been reading and trolling this section for sometime now and finally decided to get a lathe to...

decent cue I played with a miranda with an ivory joint and a bunch of ivory inlays, the points where sharp and detail was good. I feel that it has a soft hit to it, the balance was a little foward heavy. Overall it was a good cue, I wouldnt mind playing with it. I believe I read somewhere...

*crossing my fingers* 89 for me please... thank you and Good Luck.

thanks Refugee, it does converto to a drill press. I will try to find that jacobs chuck online. james

wow, thank you all for the great advise. I will try to just sit at the pool hall and just watch, although that will be like pulling teeth. Thanks for putting things in perspective. James

I have noticed that I make excusses for myself on why I missed the 8 ball after a 7 ball run. I am very particular on my tip shap, shaft smoothness, my mood. I feel that I only play good when everything is "perfect". How do I get over this, or how have some of you other players gotten over...

Thats the one I was trying to put a link to. What would I need to mount it on my Shop Smith? Thank you

Thanks for the posts. I just want to do very basic repairs on the shafts, tips, cleaning, ferrules. Would that chuck on the link I posted earlier work?

Thank you, I am very new to this...so my technical knowledge of parts is limited. I am reading through as many posts as I can so I can identify parts. I found this, its a oneway talon chuck. Shop Smith has the adapter to make it fit. it also has an option to buy external jaws (#1 Jaw) that...

Is it out there? My father recently gave me his Shop Smith Mark V. They do not offer any chucks that would apply to shafts. Can anyone point me in the right direction on finding a 3 jaw chuck for this thing? I will eventually buy a Porper or a Hightower, but for now I want to use what I Have...
