I sure hope I'm wrong here but from that first pic it looks like this gem of a table is covered in old nappy Mali or Forstmann cloth :confused:. Someone please tell me that is actually Simonis. Tommy D.

Comments on Willie Mosconi The late George Fels wrote a number of articles on the man. Back then,the World Championship tournament took MONTHS to complete,because they almost never had everyone in the same place at the same time,so they spread it out over various locations and dates. The...

I use a homebrew that starts out with Minwax Polycrylic Clear Satin which is a water based product,and I thin it with hot water 50/50. It looks like watery milk in the bottle so it will not affect the color of the shaftwood. It protects nice and once buffed it comes out awful slick. The basic...

I bought the tap from Perry. I haven't used it yet. I can tell you this for sure,it is a WELL-made product. I've seen normal thread taps that were coated with oil or some kind of film to minimize rust. I've never seen a cue-work tap coated like that,until I bought the 3/8-10 and Radial from...

If that's not a Cog I'll kiss your ass on Youtube ;). Tommy D.

Can someone explain to me how a player's so-called "attitude" is really supposed to affect the rolls one way or the other? For example,I have went into EVERY match for over 20 years now with the mindset that regardless of any mistakes or bad rolls I've made in the past,that the chances of...

I've seen 2 cues similar to this (Rempe logo,segmented wrap with extra ring) in Memphis but that was over 20 years ago. In nice shape with 2 shafts I wouldn't think 4-500 would be out of line. In my eyes based on about a half-dozen examples in this newer time frame,their build quality went...

Denatured alcohol and a cotton swab or pipe cleaner ;). Tommy D.

You guys do realize that the amount of wood he's removing with Q-Wiz is less than .001 over a period of 5 months right :confused:? I'll kiss his ass in public if he can feel a difference that small :eek:. 1/10 of a millimeter is .003937 if you wanna get real accurate. 1/100 is .0003937...

For Justin,how many American players are there that will play you more than one game? Tommy D.

They aren't single edged,but I really like the ceramic utility blades from ceramicknife.org. I've used one to put on probably 40 tips including Kamui with the clear pad and it's still sharp enough it worries me some :thumbup:. Tommy D.

I bought this tap from Perry's website instead of his eBay store. This is my honest opinion. Without having seen or used the real deal Radial tap that Atlas sells,as an experienced machinist I can say with 100% confidence that the one he sells is a WELL-made piece. You will even need to clean...

I refuse to say Buddy took anything at all because I never saw it or saw him act like he was anything other than tired. However,I asked him about this subject over 20 years ago when he was still among the elite,so AFAIK way before the real high grade meth hit the streets but Desoxin was...

I asked Brian (Skyler's dad) about that cue over a year ago and he assured me it was at his house. Tommy D.

I'm also in the Loctite Professional camp. The only thing I've ever used that sets any faster is Satellite City Hot Stuff. Tommy D.

There is no guessing,that cue in the pic was 100% Bludworth. I saw him at that Willard's tournament where the pic was taken,and there was a Bludworth ad in that issue of BD that showed that cue plus 2 or 3 others in different color schemes. I've probably seen him play in person 30 times in my...

He's not mute,but he doesn't hear too well so talking with him will take a little patience. Tommy D.

There was an OLD article written by Thomas Wayne where he mentions using an Alaskan Yellow Cedar dowel inside a drilled out shaft for a sort of LD effect. Tommy D.

Are you trying to tap these weight bolts with them chucked up in a Hightower lathe? The aluminum jaws won't be much of a friend if that is the case. The split nut is your best move. Tommy D.

For those of you that have posted pics of nice finished product using Arvorin,what are you using to cut it? I tried varying the feed rate as much as I can without having auto-feed on my main repair lathe,and never took more than a .010 per side pass,and wound up with results that looked like...
