It was just too easy, I couldn't resist!

I think he used a "real" cue back then! ;)

You better watch out. I hear Griff is practicing up and plans to repeat!

Not much you can do now. Your "Edit Settings" in your "User CP" must not have the option "When sending private messages the forum can make a copy of the message in your Sent Items folder. ( )Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" block checked. For in the future I...

Click on "Private messages" under your user name in the upper right corner of the page. Then at the top you'll see "inbox" . Change that to "sent items" and you're there.

If Cliff was actually "holding" the money he owes you, me and everyone else he wouldn't be able to walk under the weight of all that money.

What is the shank size and how many rpm's is it rated for?

I'm sorry to hear this. I didn't know George well but we sat together at the DCC for a couple of matches once several years ago. He was a very nice man. We each shared a few stories of years past. He will be missed, I'm sure. RIP, George! Sherm

Just saw on the news that the I-64 bridge is out from Louisville to New Albany Indiana, the site of the Horseshoe Casino where the DCC is held. They said they expect it to be out of commission for 6 months for the repair of some serious cracks in the structure. This will definitely cause some...

I too would like to say a big thanks to Accu-Stats, AZ Billiards and everyone concerned with the streaming of the Turning Stones Event. The feed was outstanding with the new equipment. The Hi-Def cameras make you feel like you're in the room only with better seats than you can usually score at...

Sounds like Maynard G. Krebs. Guess I'm showing my age now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqzpQPDSr2s Sherm

I don't have any pictures handy but I received permission from Edwin Reyes to use an inlay design he pioneered. It's what he called his "drop shadow" design. I was so blown away by it when I visited him he told me to feel free to use it. It's essentially taking any inlaid point or inlay and...

When I was a youngster my Dad every once in a while would stop at his favorite watering hole with me in tow. He taught me early on about taking a bag of Planter peanuts and dumping the whole bag in a bottle of Pepsi and eating them as I drank the Pepsi. There was something about the Ice Cold...

Frankly, I'm not so sure now. The weight bolt looks different, the pin,the bumper, the signature and the ringwork. There may be another Gibby around.

Another possibility you have to realize is that the "RJ" may have been the owner of the cue, not the builder. I've had customers who asked me to put their initials on cues I built them. Sherm

I'm pretty sure that's Billy Gibbs an apprentice of mine. He was originally from Lebanon Ohio but move to Tennessee in the late 80's. Back then he was a luthier, building and repairing guitars & basses for Nashville musicians. He started apprenticing with me about '95 and still makes regular...

I agree! I just contacted them and thanked them profusely for their support! I strongly suggest everyone in this forum do the same. I'm sure some of you have read the thread by JAM regarding "a simple thank you note". A few kind words can go a long way in garnering further support from one of...

I use my CNC to engrave "Sherm" in a nice script font on the tip of my pins, but at first I quit signing my cues. One of the first customers I had after doing this complained when I did not sign his cue. I had to sign it and finish over the signature before he was happy. Then I started asking...

Ebony, I believe.
