Ive been anxiously awaiting that red box! I hope i made the list! Joe

If you can fit it in your shop, get the metal lathe and then upgrade your midsize later. The deluxe is capable of machining metal, but not near as fast or easy as a metal lathe. Also, you can get a set tru chuck on your metal lathe and indicate it in to zero a dozen times a night and never...

Get back on the horse JohnnyT! Lol. Have your wife hide the sledge hammer now so you dont let your temper hurt your new table. Lol. Joe

What happened to your old table? I thought you had a table. Congrats on the table! Joe

Nothing hits like ivory. Nothing. The closest ive found has been deer or moose antler. Man made materials are stronger and more likely to survive the abuse players give em, but the hit of ivory has yet to be produced by anything man made. Juma, elforyn, micarta, etc all hit great, but not...

Straight grain maple forearm, cored with purple heart. Solid purple heart handle with straight grain butt sleeve. Ivory or antler joint with juma or elforyn joint collars. Juma or elforyn buttcap with no bumper. Short 1/2 inch ivory ferrule threaded on with a fiber pad on it thats been...

The first and the last two look like rosewood to me. Joe

See thats part of the problem, nobody said it was an auction. This isnt ebay. Where does it say hes asking for bids? Besides all that, if you truly wanted to express your opinion to the op, a pm would have worked, but instead, you insult the op and want to lecture people on how to sell their...

People who can afford these kinds of cases know what they are worth, and know what to offer. Its not like hes trying to get some dumbass to drop $500 for a j&j 2x4. If you really have that much cash, then you also know that your offer of $1 makes you look less than smart. Joe

Hmmm.....seems some people cant read. I see no mention of auction. Thats a great price on a great case! $800 is more than fair. Good luck with your sale! Joe

I think you missed the point. This is not a new idea. While i applaud the op for making his own equipement and it looks like he did a great job, it appears to be a very similar process to a wrap fixture, just without all the gadgets. I love my unique wrap magic fixture and i dont mind the...

I decided to just sleeve it over a phenolic plug. I was worried the wall thickness would be too thin where the threads were. Thanks man. Joe

Im gonna put an ivory sleeve on the joint of my latest cue. Is it ok to thread the joint and the ivory? Joe

Ill bet Harley sales are way up since that show came on. Ive seen all kinds of wannabe bikers with their SOA hoodies on riding brand new sportsers. Pool will never shed that hustler/gambler image. We should embrace it, because inside most bar bangers is a secret desire to be able to hustle...

You are always talking about cutting threads with a file you bought from harbor freight. Lol. I was just joking around. I bought a thread mill and decided to give it a shot last night. Joe

Those inside threads were a real pain in the ass! Lol. And before anyone says it, yes, im aware they arent perfect, but its a start. The joint screwed on nicely and im going to cut it to size next time im in the shop. I cut the tenon a tad too small, but it still worked. Joe

Im not sure how engineers or runners relate to a good playing pool cue. If you have an engineer build you a cue, it would probably be the most complex thing you ever seen. Lol. Im sure the people who design running shoes run themselves and have tons of equipement for testing and research and...

I suppose I should clarify my statement. If you plan on making great playing cues, you better know how to play. If you are making cues purely for the artistic side of it, then thats a different story. Joe

I disagree. If you make cues and cant play at least at a B level from time to time, then you dont truly know what you can do with a cue. Joe

Brilliant idea. You should patent it asap though, because im sure there will be people copying it very soon. Joe
