I'm a people, that's what I use. 60-80lb is the sweet spot, heavier will tear out. 60-80 can tear out.

Ho chi minh city.

Just thought you might be interested.

Ebonizing is and was a thing before moooochie used the term. It involves using iron and chemicals to darken woods. Often used on oak. Ebonized wood can be beautiful and takes a bit of work. Using the term for slapping some shite on top of wood is a travesty.

Fiberglass is technically 'glass fiber reinforced plastic'. They cast them in a white resin, but all of them I've seen are fiberglass. They didn't have many other plastic options for parts like that in the sixties.

Well, it's $37.69 for the cue and $1062.31 for the paper bag with eye holes.

The OP has a GCI, I believe (see the other posts). There are plastic pieces below the wood skirts. The wood on mine was not maple, alder, I believe.

The plastic skirts on my gci are fiberglass. I used summit brand urethane high build primer. Great for the price. I also sprayed my Formica with it, no chipping had occurred in three years with plenty of balls bouncing on it.

You are dead to me.

Plenty of reasons. Maybe you know your opponent has a terrible break. Maybe you know your opponent has a great break, but isn't a threat to run out. Maybe you are playing a confused old guy. Maybe your opponent is a 23y/o lady in a short skirt. I've done it and had it done to me numerous...

This has to be the dumbest episode of 'The Twilight Zone' ever. ...imagine if you will, you lose the flip, but your opponent gives you the break. Your opponent gets upset when you attempt to take the second break, also.

Neither. The rules of chivalry clearly state that if you give the break to your opponent after winning the choice to break, the rest of the match a third party will break every rack. If playing in a place that allows minors, it must be an eleven year old girl scout with at least eleven badges...

The worst.

Just like how you can't assume your tail stock is aligned, you can't assume your bed is completely planar. Of course you have to start with your tailstock aligned in all three axis. You then adjust the bed to make it completely planar, starting with a global planar and adjusting to remove any...

Good setup. I designed and installed multi-million dollar machines that use the same concept. We generally used three bolts next to each other at multiple points. Two would pull the bed down, flanking one that would push up. Many of our machines had beds over 80ft long and maintained under...

Have you read, 'the inner game of tennis', and 'sports psyching'? Both of those books not only got me back on track, but changed my attitude. 'sports psyching' went deep into the different reasons people complete and what type of performer a person is. I found that I tended to put looking...

I failed to notice the wink. Garczar is one of the good ones.

Look, one person voiced a complaint. No big deal. I don't expect @garczar really has that much of a problem with it either. He can be brusque, but so can I. He doesn't seem the type to hold grudges. I would say that this defending yourself is more annoying than asking the question and...

Feel his stroke, if it feels good, he's the one for you. If he wears a hat while playing and you like his sombrero, he's for you. Feel his glove, if it feels perfect, he's your man. Try on his shoes, shoes are the key, the man with the perfect shoe is the dude for you!
