    Did Europe dog it?

    In terms of entertainment value, the Euros could have played a little looser. Their approach to the game is very disciplined, but take the low-percentage shot to fire up all the fans! Closer matches build excitement. I'm surprised their strategy didn't evolve. I mean, the writing for the event...

    African blk wood & coco burl points

    I think the issue is that for the longest time wood vendors only sold wood that had eyes as "burl." The burls without eyes were not harvested. As demand grew, those once-ignored burls were harvested and sold. Some vendors now advertise "swirled burl" vs. "eye burl," but most just sell "burl."...

    Optical Illusion Cues...Any?

    I immediately thought of Thomas Wayne's work. There is at least one more I can think of, but it is more "behind the scenes illusion." Some folks are not aware of his "other" skills that show up in his pieces. That work is his to share, however. Richard Black has had a few that come to mind...

    best way to align or dial in my 3 jaw chuck

    Thanks for the clarification, Joey. I probably should've called .0001 "ten thousandths" or "one ten thousandth" for the laymen. Machinists call it "a tenth." Confusing at first until one understands the basis. ~Beau

    best way to align or dial in my 3 jaw chuck

    Robley, .0001 is usually referred to as "a tenth." If only all chucks had that kind of accuracy! If you have .010 (ten thousandths) in runout on a dead straight part then you may need to true up your jaws. There is plenty of information out there once you figure out the right keywords to use in...
