when they test steel or other items, lets say testing steel beams for their weight bearing characeristics.. there is a term called its elastic limit. this is the point at which you can bend ( or put weight upon) something and no longer returns to its natural state. With wood, I dont know...

ok so I found this subject interesting, if a reader thinks it is too long then please just dont read it. In order to get a point across I'm admittedly quite verbose.. but sometimes I feel it is necessary to use a lot of words to communicate clearly. Something that was pointed out to me by a...

I wonderif chinese slate is identifiable. I have a 1970's Brunswick and it said on the slate it's ffrom Italy. I have an old Brunswick Balk Collender and that slate is from Vermont. the Vermont slate is ok on top but quite a few voids on the backside, its also sort of hand worked. It looked to...

wood always moves, as your cue goes itno different environments it is always either taking in or giving off moisture. no coating will ever prevent that but the coating and case help reduce sudden changes. most roll cues on a pool table because that's what they have but the cloth isn't helping...

In my experience I find if i get the tiny tubes, well they dry up in their tube even though they were never opened. I keep mine in a plastic bag in the fridge, If I take it out and use it cold, its about the same consistency as the gel. Maybe it thins back down as it warms up, but it might...

Sorry to hear you are having such troubles.. If you like, what you can do is scroll down any post you want to read and see how long it is. Then if you feel its too long for you to read, just skip the post. This way you wont need to go insulting other posters, and you'll be down to the...

it might be oak but this isnt; fine quality oak, just going by the grain patterns. If you see particleboard you kow it's as recent as the particleboard and if it has plywood, that only dates back so far too. If you see plywood one thing to look at is the thickness of the plys and what they...

I'd just say let them play... personally I enjoy watching ;-)

sure that works too, There is more than one way to skin a cat so its just a preference of approaches and all are valid ideas. what's the thickness of the finish? maybe a thou or two? about enough to establish a shiny finish by fine sandpaper and buffing. If it's right it's within about the...

so to define that,, Coefficient of friction (COF) is a dimensionless number that is defined as the ratio between friction force and normal force (Eqn (2.1)). Materials with COF smaller than 0.1 are considered lubricous materials. COF depends on the nature of the materials and surface roughness...

one could take a small paintbrush and paint hot wax on the SS part, then after finishing it'll be easy to clean off. That wont spread all over and mess with adhesion of the rest of the "paintjob" . I think grease etc might want to spread. .

$8,768.00 is quite a bit for a 7 foot table.. https://www.spotonbilliards.com/products/diamond-proam-pool-table It seems its a thousand per foot extra for the 8' or 9' maybe prices are a little cheaper in the US... but wow, you can have your pick of a lot of beautiful older tables if you...

if you want to cut slots in the bolt heads I'd just use a zip disk, you can get different thicknesses. I like this place, mail order seems flawless. If you order there ask for the catalog,its the size of a big city phone book, If you can remember what a phone book look like ;-) they have...

don't know who Rube is, so no. Ive made up movable things for heavy tablesaws though and similar can work.. the saw and adjoining tables I put on heavy angle iron welded at each corner. the rest of it sits on top of that frame, so its made ot fit. each corner has a leveling foot...

you can heat the collar up, just not so hot as to discolor it. burn it off?

how about put it on a heavy steel plate with some blocking under so you can pick it up from under it's feet with a forklift? something like they use on the roads to cover a hole in the roadway. If the height difference is an issue make a portable catwalk like thing so your feet are off...

I'd bank it to the corner and send the CB down table. Higher chance to do it long table and back but that might be a setup if it fails as both balls will be down at the same end. 3 banks side can work, if you are that brave. What game are we playing again?

I was noting how tall some of the big champs are they make the snooker tables look tiny.. sometimes I just have these funny thoughts.. so I was envisioning a cartoon where Ronnie O'sullivan is on one foot , standing at the bottom , on top of the table on one foot, doing a downward...

If the bubble is in the middle you know you are on the level ;-) the way I see it, I dont plan to be the top world champ, So my aim is just to be the best I can , that is without playing so much that it's not fun.. I see it as the shot I'm taking is all so very important, all the rest, not...

yea I wouldn't trust the durham's for a great big chunk like that. Bondo might stick together in a large chunk like that. you can even mix in some fiberglass fibers to add strength to the clump. you cna just take scissors and make fibers form almost any type of fibreglass cloth to mix in...
