No Ralf, that wasn't Tikklers table. I honestly can't remember who's table it was, lol. I met so many people and talked to so many collectors, its hard to remember em all. Joe

I hope you don't mind if I add a couple pics. This Manzino is sick. There were so many great cues and great people at this show, it was an unbelievable success in my opinion. Joe

I'm laying here in bed at the Waverton hotel just down the road from the show and can't hardly sleep because I'm so excited about tomorrow. Lol. I love this town. I had a calzone delivered to my hotel room at 3:30am, lol. We don't have that kind of pizza joint back home. Lol. See you all...

I'm over $10k invested so far and I've made about $700. Lol. I have lots of cues in progress and at different stages, so I know I will eventually make most of my money back, but it never fails, I always end up "needing" something else. More wood, new tools, a new machine, etc. If I were you...

Bump for a nice purple heart sneaky. Joe

You should have said something, I'd have invited you over for a beer. I live less than 5 minutes from the pool hall. Joe

That's like getting mad because a guy can out drive you on the golf course, and making him tee off with a 7 iron. Its all part of the game. If he breaks better than you, then practice your break, or beat him with safetys. Joe

I don't have a foot of it, but I've got enough to make one set. You can have it. I'll bring it up there Saturday. Joe

Pipe down over there. Lol. If I could do inlays, I'd inlay the cardinals logo in your cue. Lol. When was you gonna pick it up anyways? Lol. Joe

What makes you think this is a Hightower? Joe

Well, the first thing you should do is change your name and not advertise that you are a cubs fan. Lol. Seriously, the cubs? I guess its better than the Yankees. Lol. Just teasing man. Lol. Joe

Bump for a good playing cue! Joe

I can't wait to go! Only a few more days. Joe

Well, since this thread is way off topic already, I might as well add my two cents about tonal qualities. I've had cues that looked amazing, but I couldn't get them to "ping" or "ponk" for nothing. Changed ferrules and tips, I actually tried several different tips. I tried the shaft on a...

Hey Jim, you should go to the windy city cue show next weekend. I'm sure there will be one or two there. Joe

Bump for a nice cue! Joe

If the pool world was a vagina, IndyQ would be its yeast infection. Joe

I'm confused. Lol. Joe

I've been using a cut off blade and it worked well with everything except phenolic. I saw a video of Ernie at Gina cues using his dedicated ring cutter and it made me wanna try to do that. I also like being able to cut super thin rings, and I couldn't seem to be able to do that with my cut off...

Here's the new setup. Old news to most guys probably, but its a step up for me. Lol. Joe
