I have a 2 pc dufferin cue that I would consider having converted into a great player if it's possible. The cue has a raise at the joint and also in the shaft. They are about the height of a business card. Is this too much of a wobble to overcome? If it's possible to do this feel free to PM me...

Hobbies Great find there! Were the jars in one place or scattered? What age did the coins date to? I've detected in the past and am hoping to get more involved this summer. Minnesota happens to be an unfriendly detecting state though. My other hobbies include: Gold prospecting (claims...

Thank you kindly for the reply. Great cases by the way. Rick

Aww shucks...your kindness knows no bounds. Best wishes, Rick

Should I use a leather conditioner on my cue case. I have a 2x2 leather Instroke case that's in almost new condition. I'd like to keep it that way. I realize my leather case will not be exposed to the same conditions as my leather shoes so is it advisable or necessary to condition a cue case...

Jam JAM seems to have a generally positive way of looking at things. I enjoy reading her posts. Rick

Old House Cues One guy around here makes adirondack style chairs with old house cues. He also makes them from old hockey sticks and baseball bats.

Davis Check your PM for John's number. I would also suggest having John or Tim build the cue directly. They did a great job on my wrapless long splice. Rick

Stinger There is no phenolic in the joint area. It is wood to wood. The quick release for the jump part of the cue however is threaded into a metal insert. I would not worry about the wood to wood joint. I have used mine many, many times with no problems. Rick

Kamui I believe Louis Ulrich is sponsored by Kamui and uses it. I’m pretty sure this happened at the last Swanee Memorial. He was playing on the TV table and the Kamui representative was in the booth commentating. The rep was talking about the chalk and how happy they were with having Ulrich...

Thread Perhaps I could have worded it differently for some. I'm really just curious if having your name and face online will hurt your action if you're not hustling. It's ok if you think this thread makes no sense. I ask for my own reasons. I'm not trying to criticize any thread in...

Why are there are so many threads crucifying hustlers for cheating and deceitful behavior yet so many other threads vilifying those who wish to out possible hustlers? Does putting your name and face on the internet hurt your action even if you are not hustling? My opinion is their “action” is...

Type "MH" Personality That's pretty damn funny! Years ago I was a cook at a bar and a customer burst into the kitchen and went all Marty on me, screaming the chicken wings taste like sh*t and this and that. I calmly said I'm sorry you don't like the wings then I told him to have a nice day...

8-Ball Will you be showing any of the 8-ball matches today? Thanks for the stream! Rick

Safe When you figure it out, send me a clue. I think you did the right thing. You felt there was a substantial challenge while shooting and you chose to take the path around it. If it was me I would have done the same thing. And would try the same safety if presented with the opportunity...

Avast We have Avast here at work. I got the same notification. ...just waiting for the IT guys to come...and take me away!

Shelter Pets Thank you for adopting a shelter animal! Thank you for giving a second chance to an animal in need. I worked at a very large shelter for many years. The condition and reasons some people surrender animals are stomach churning to say the least. I could tell stories but that would...
