    retirement cue?

    Thank you for the suggestions and I did look into using the lapels. The drawback is the size of them. To keep the rest of the items around the ribbons to match in sizing I would have to use miniature anchors and eaws wings resulting in some gaps between items that just doesn't look that good...

    retirement cue?

    The reason behind the map would be to mark all the ports that I have been to over my career. Unfortunately, but fortunately, I was stationed in the same location for over 20 years so I really can't list my different duty stations. I do have a plan to incorporate my different commands logos...

    retirement cue?

    Thank you for the miter box suggestion, and as for the taper, that is why we decided to do the ribbons on the very bottom of the cue because there is little to no taper required. Only problem now is, where to put the world map? Yeah, I would like to have a flat old school style world map...

    retirement cue?

    I was thinking the same thing at the beginning stages if this project, but due to the size of the ribbons, and the size of other items such as Chief Anchors and Warfare pin the windows would end up only having a small line dividing them so I decided to just not do the Windows. Thank you for the...

    retirement cue?

    Thank you for the reply, and yes, it is super hard. I actually have tried to make these already already out of veneers and after I completed 6 ribbons I put them together two create two rows of ribbons. That is when I realized that I needed to ask for assistance due to difficulty in keeping...

    retirement cue?

    Crazy question, but I have to ask.. a little background info first. Traditionaly in the military when a member retires they receive a Shadowbox that displays the members military accomplishments, such as Ribbons, Medals, different command logos, advancements, etc. I personaly would like to...

    Brunswick Centennial ready for action

    That is truely amazing, wow. Boy, hope you put a "spot" on the table before you left? If not, you know there is going to be like four people gathered around the table for about an hour discussing exactly where the spot goes until one of them gets the courage up to actually apply it...lol.

    Seattle Run

    The Golden Fleece changed their number, but I dont know what the new one is. I know that they are still open and I do believe there opening time in 11am and there closing time is always questionable since they will stay open as late as anyone is in there playing. As far as specials, think...

    WA- Federal Way/SeaTac Area

    Sorry, guess I'm use to driving two hours to play on a 9 foot table, let alone a diamond table. Also, I figure Dan Louie, Harry Plattis or Rich "The Hat" Geiler would probably be there and its always a joy eat hung those guys play.

    WA- Federal Way/SeaTac Area

    I have never been to Manwons place, but I would recommend driving to the Golden Fleece. The phone number has changed but just do a Google search for directions.....you may get to see some really good action.. Regardless, have fun.

    bonus ball is the real deal

    I have never tried it so I cant say anything good or bad about the new game. For players that have played it, can you please help out on some of the strategy parts of the game? Seems like one would be, after you make the Bonus Ball, you try and play leave where your opponent cant really make...

    TAR, King of the hill, rankings, payouts.

    Great Idea, and hope it turns out and someone makes a run at it... There could actually be three titles, One being considered a world title that is open to anyone to hold and win as long as they qualify as per the ranking system used. The other two would be an East Coast Title and a West...

    BCA Open team from TAIWAN disqualified?

    BCA Open team from TAIWAN disqualified?

    I would disagree with you on this to an extent. I believe the higher division should receive a higher percentage of the added money, but the higher divisions should not have anything to do with how payouts are paid out in different divisions. My reasoning is, all players pay the same...

    BCA Open team from TAIWAN disqualified?

    Stuckart, You must have played your ass off to do that, good job. I dont understand your logic behind splitting the money up between the 45 players that are going to be moved up to advanced if they did not play against the Taiwan players? My opinion is the fair thing to do is split the money...
