    <<< [ HOW TO ] build a Cue ? What kind of TOOLS do I NEED ? >>>>

    you don't need a CNC lathe All you need is a fairly straight piece of maple, an extremely sharp knife, and an incredible amount of patience. An expert woodcarver, when asked how to whittle a horse, replied: "It's simple~ just cut away anything that doesn't look like a horse" Same concept applies!

    Our Pool Hall closing.

    an option you may not have considered. You state that real estate is in a boom in your city, and all available spaces are being snapped up. But. . . .this usually applies to the desirable first floor properties. Back in "the day", it was common to navigate stairs to get to pool rooms. Either...

    Vintage Minnesota fats tables

    American Machine and Foundry. . . . . and an anecdote about quality. First, let me start by saying that I don't believe your Minnesota Fats pool table was manufactured by AMF, because they would have added their insignia to it somewhere. But this post isn't about your table. It's not even...

    Stainless Steel join is buggin me

    its still gonna be blue, but its classier than painters tape Dykem marking fluid will turn that stainless non-reflective, and if you ever peddle the cue, Dykem removal fluid and a light buffing with jewlers rouge will bring the finish right back up. No marks, no scratches, no marring. (Will...

    Will Diamonds replace Valleys?

    to improve their skillset Even if you play all your leagues and tournaments on Valleys with buckets, playing on them will be easier if you have a Diamond at home. If you're used to making balls in a tight pocket with a deep shelf when you practice, hitting those Valley buckets will seem easy...

    Cue Makers Reputations!

    John Robinson Way back in 1984, my sister had John build me a custom as my Christmas present. This has been my tournament cue ever since. (I have too much respect for it for it to be my "daily" cue, because my "daily" spends too much time in the truck with the Florida heat). I've sent it back...

    Where to Rent quality Cues in Vegas ?

    Exactly. and the difference is the rental fee for the week. $120.00 cue - $30.00 buyback = $90 rental Sounds reasonable.

    Best cue for a Bar Box

    those aren't bar boxes, they are just short tables ! Ah, the 'really fast' Valley, probably leveled and trued for league play, with fresh rails. . . .with a green logo aramith ball. . . THAT'S NOT A BARBOX!!! A bar box is something like a 20 year old National, covered in an army blanket...

    Ewa Laurance in Chicago

    as a corporate spokesperson? Thorsten. Great ability, with very little gambling history to get in the way of a morals clause in a corporate contract. Tantrums eliminate Earl. Gambling kills SVB.

    "Hustling": Is It Sleazy Or Clever (Or Both)?

    you must have been watching a different movie. . . The last game of pool you ever see Fast Eddie shoot in the TCOM is the match which he forfeits against Kennedy. You know that he dumped a match so that Vincent would lose money. What you don't know is whether or not he had a shill put...
