    I've been hearing this song on the satellite radio recently... Give it a listen as the title and lyrics should fit azworld. "Nine Ball"

    Doubtful. Intellectual honesty is far too lofty an expectation from any flavor of the voting cattle.

    Mass Shooting At Maine Pool Hall & Bowling Alley

    Is anyone in this discussion empowered to determine what another is allowed to own or the manner they choose to defend themselves (and others)? Can anyone grant to another a right that they don't already have themselves? If the claimed to be "just government" is derived from the consent of the...

    How can we change a coin-operated table to a drop pocket--easily?

    Same way I extended play as a little kid... an ashtray in each pocket

    An artist, I am not. The dial on the left, ( the one that look like it was painted by toddler), is the last to be done. It takes a lot of rubbing with a microfiber towel and scraping with the back of a knife blade, but the paint that's on top of the dial will come off.

    Gold Crown Adventure

    a wd40 soak and scrub, on repeat, got the gunk off. I scraped some varnished soda or something off two of the dials with my pocket knife. I then painted the numerals with a tiny brush and model paint. I will touch up some paint again and clean them up. Second set just started their soak.

    Gloves

    My localish billiard supply store has them, so I dunno. The link I shared was the result of an internet search for the purpose of posting in this thread. I didn't order from that link.

    Gloves

    Still snug, about three years and one washing old... I use taom v10 and shake the hand panty off every now and then is all.

    The irony hasn't been lost.... too much water and not enough within 150'

    Gold Crown Adventure

    I got away from the farm, into the big city (100k is a cig city in Montana) and got stocked with sanding and painting supplies to proceed on to the "furniture" parts of this resto-mod. I still haven't decided on a sprayer set up and am considering just having it sprayed by a local body shop...

    I think I'll live with mine too. Probably polish it a little more and call it good enough.

    Gold Crown Adventure

    I worked on this piece last night... and quit when I saw this. I thought I had buffed too long on a spot, but then it occurred to me that the two near identical rub spots were a triangles width apart and only on the bottom crossbar of this piece, so maybe I didn't mess it up. Is this piece...

    Gold Crown Adventure

    The rail edges took more time than the pocket castings and feet did. They've still got two more stages of polish to go, too. A lesson learned on them was to not use a wire wheel to take them down. It got them clean enough, but it didn't shine like the sanded down did. So, one took a ton of...

    Cheaper the better! I saw one set up for (gulp) $1400 and that scared me off. I'm planning to go to all white, silver decal, polished metal, and tournament blue simonis. (I would do the purple simonis if my auntie would let me put it in the living room, though) Paint, I was planning to go...

    It's plastic, definitely early GC1. Rails are OK, but getting sent in soon for subrail work, modern rubber, threaded inserts, and the two chipped corners on one rail fixed. The rail tops will clean up nice. Any recommendations on paint sprayers, Rexus? I'm in the sticks and planning on...
