    Sharpening Tool Bits

    I have a video from the Little Machine Shop' website. It show you how to make your own with a grinder and HSS blanks. Pretty good stuff. Sharpening bits is all about knowing the right angle. It's really very simple, but you need practice. You can either do that or buy new ones. They are...

    Good supplier for Teak?

    Thanks guys. I am familiar with Bell Forest. I have ordered from them many times. I am looking forward to doing some DIY stuff around the house and at work and I wanted to use it for a number of things like the shower, maybe for bathroom counter tops, and even a front desk counter. I was...

    What would YOU do here?

    #1 I would definitely learn the two rail kick. While you're at it, practice other kick shots with various kinds of english sighting the ball in through the edge of the pocket. #2 This shot isn't really worth debating and spending all that much time on. I would chalk it up to a lesson...

    JOINT PINS and JOINT MATERIALS

    As Eric said, it is personal preference both on the builder's part and on the users end. I personally like piloted stainless steel joints as I've played much of the pool in my years with one. Ivory, wood-to-wood and sleeved have their own characteristics and I am not about to sit here and...

    Varney Update

    Whatever Kevin is going through is surely horrible. This just reminds me to be more careful in the shop, because I can forsee the same thing happening to me due to exposure. Get well soon, Kevin!

    Bob Frey Cue /Joint Diameter?

    Delivered to your door, and at a great price. You could have a concrete answer in a matter of days, because you won't get it here. I think that is what KJ is talking about.

    websites?

    It's not as easy as some people think. I can only speak for myself, but even though he doesn't have one, I know I would like to see a Searing website to look at his cues, and be that as it may, I don't think his cue business is suffering at all. I am sure he has his own reasons as to why he...

    Eddie Farris

    Eddie does work a full time job and does cues in his spare time. He makes less than 20 cues per year and he makes cues for 'players'. He does make prongs but shys away from inlays. I can't safely speak for him, but I think he is more interested in playability than anything. The most...

    Autodesk AutoCAD 2011 for MAC

    I was looking on here and stumbled upon this. I thought it was very cool and wondered if anyone here has used it. I am a Mac Enthusiast all the way. I would also like to know if it is something suitable for inlay designs or would I be better off saving my money and skipping it altogether and...

    Make Other Wood Products?

    I think Dan Dishaw is a guitar maker. Darren Hill is pretty crafty from what I understand. I've made pens, but there is really nothing to it whatsoever, and I am sure many others have too.

    I hope Kevin gets up on his feet soon. That scares me. I've definitely been breathing in some CA and Cocodust when I should not have. Hang in there Kevin!

    Kamui tip, I just tried one.can't believe it !

    I was just like a lot of people on here. Die hard Triangle man all the way for years..... Didn't think I ever needed anything else. Kamui tips are the real deal. It is not hype. They are the best tip ever made period. The chalk works well too, but I like my Blue Diamond.

    (Jason Rhee) "rheester" cue review

    Jason and I are both up & coming cue makers. I started my own shop last year in Tulsa, and Jason works out of Tony Zinzola's shop. Jason approached me about making a cue and trading it so we could give an honest review of one another's work. Being how I didn't know who he was, I didn't know...
