Nice Video Thanks Dave, i noticed that when you got to your power break shot, you let your cue ride on the cushion, I think so you get your cue lower than if you were to bridge on top of the rail.. The ergonomics might not be as good with your hand closer and on the table itself, where it...

it loooks like plastic to me, if you zoom in and lo at the crack there is no apparent grain, the crack is jagged and underneat the surface there is no grain and it is black. usually wood cracks along the lines of the grain.. to me this appears as a stress crack , maybe from expansion and...

is the part with the split in it plastic or is it wood?

most wood has grain , thit appears to be just a hunk of plastic actually.. and what is this spot then, ( circled) it looks like its broken though a thin layer to the wood below the label or thin plastic layer, or whatever it is.. If the part was wood then when you peered into the crack it...

a lot of cues seem to sport a fake decorative splice that is in actuality only a label, I'm surprised people buy them but it seems common. Is the predator cue a fake splice or a real one? it looks lie it might just be a scratch on the fake decal.

he never never misses a chance to be rude

it might seem like a funny question but are you having as much FUN playing now as you did when you were younger? what is your objective? For a younger person who is in his 20-30's you may have had an objective of becoming better, hoping to win tournaments or bets or whatever it is that you...

I never do this but i see it happening, I find it disrespectful but some just have sloppy uncaring habits.. ..Where a guy takes a ball and slaps it down on the slate.. doing such should not be able to crack any filler you use, normally its thin enough that it won't but I'd just think about...

6 tables means a significant number of people.. doing a cost analysis is complex, much like the analysis one may do in rationalizing a profitable business venture. if you have a bunch of older experienced adults that are very unlikely to steal or do bad things and who would self monitor...

the guy is worried about tightening the rail bolts of one table, what he needs do is be reasonable tightening them, Its not so much that the bolt will strip but there are limits on the captive nut. He got hold of a torque wrench that was too big for the job. I wouldn't prompt him to go run...

Its four thousand miles from me, but I found a few suggestions here...

most who have mechanical trades won;t strip 1/4" bolts or use a torque wrench, You can but its often just second nature for anyone experienced.. how about use 2 fingers to turn the wrench and you should be ok., that might be enough not to be tempted to "go nuts" nothing wrong with...

if you want ot assure the rails dont come loose you can use double nuts or nylock nuts. most will be coarse thread bolts, but if you see fine thread used, remember that the same torque will have greater pulling force and the point of the limit isn't to stop the fastener from stripping , its...

the rule of thumb with linseed oil is once a day for a week ( fresh wood) then once a week for a month, then once a year ever after. rub all you can in, you can't put too much, because next you will wipe every bit off with clean cloths and set it to dry a bit.. it does get very hard, but not...

sure of course you can just fill the gaps and screw holes if you prefer. other than only a machinist level a really accurate straight edge is of help, and you can put the level on top of a long straight piece of steel to check over a longer distance. I found it helpful to put a playing card...

the one at the left seems a lot like the profile of a ballscrew.. you can google "ballscrew" but it's basically a method of linking parts by way of a ball bearing type joint, common when stepper motors are used to move parts. , in CNC applications. It's often a very precision component...

youtube , facebook and google all collect user data to such an extent that a user needs to be very savvy to avoid his data being tracked against him.. Some don't care, some don't like their personal info such as their interests, photos or location and time of the photos being collected and...

if you can get a playing card between your slates, you cna also likely fit a new break off blade.. often the gap is because of foregn particles holding the slates from actual contact.. so you may be able to drag a blade along the gap to clean out any grit etc, and then get the slate a tad...

turpentine is derived from plants, solvent is derived from oil. both dissolve wax. Turpenes are smelly, they are a part of a plant's system of warding off insects, among other things. I soak outdoor wood in turpentine and linseed oil to make it withstand the elements better, it helps ward...

Ive been enjoying the videos and learning lots. thanks for not using music so much, and for not using too much of my time to do self promotion. I have my own music. "Subscribing" to youtube is something I'd never care to do.. So many carry on about that stuff during videos. It's just a...
