As long as there are new players there will be a demand. People buy cues and keep them and can only play with one at a time, yet they buy and buy. It's a hobby and people feed their hobbies.
I'm glad my city is non smoking mnow. Not just because I can breathe, but I'm like a ball ahead of those guys that I used to play even that can't play dead without a cigarette.
I didn't get the cash.
I was in college and couldn't afford to lose much. I would only play cheap games I knew I could win. There was this old guy that would always come in on the weekends after the dance at the senior citizen center and I'd beat him and then the bar would close and I'd go home...
A day or two ago there was a completely redone south bend in Shreveport for $2500. Don't remember the size, but the seller said restoring and reselling was his hobby
Yes, thanks for the repost. Was a good read. I have been looking for a good deal on craigslist too. Problem is getting it home for me. I always talk myself out of making offers just for this reason. Perhaps when I get my shop done I will be more inclined
I have read about that but never actually done it. I'm just learning so thanks for all input. I am still looking for a good lathe locally, so I'm taking all these suggestions in account while looking.
For my education, is a taper bar something that can be added easily to say a metal lathe, or is it only an option for certain lathes. In other words, how do you taper a cue on a large metal lathe
