Probably thinking of Billy Gibbs formerly of Ohio, an apprentice of mine who lives in Knoxville area now. He also works for Accu-Stats and built the Accu-Stats Arena now called the Simones Arena. He had a background as a luthier building and repairing guitars for musicians in Nashville.

I do have a UV system for sale. If interested, PM me. Sherm

I'm sure the guitar was related to Jonny Lang though. The video tribute linked here made no mention of "Rack 'em Up" or "Jack's Pool Hall" I first met Jonny Lang when his manager at the time, Bob Asmund a friend of mine asked me for tickets to the BCA Trade Show in Minneapolis. I had a booth...

I agree. It would have a very limited value in cue ivory compared to the art form it creates put back together. If you needed cue ivory, you might do better doing a trade with Dave Warther. Sherm

Exactly! If they keep this up Gibsons will soon be made in India or China! They need to start thinking about the few American manufacturing businesses that are barely holding on by their fingernails! The government talks about creating more jobs when they continually force American companies to...

I just had to poke you a little Bob, just so you'd know I'm still your buddy! lol

I've known Bob for many years. He's a very sharp, knowledgeable guy, but he still doesn't understand the effect of speed on a bank shot. He doesn't believe that speed shortens up the angle on a bank shot. We've been arguing this point for about 20 years or more! lol Sherm

I bought a box of Emeralds and a box of Everest, Tigers higher end premium tip. I think the Emeralds blow the Everest out of the park! I don't like the Everest at all but love the Emeralds which are reasonably priced. Go figure! Sherm

Not original. They had "Stance" pool shoes back in the early 80's. I had a couple of pairs of them. Sherm

I agree! I'm really looking forward to this match. Thanks Justin! Sherm

Scott's right about this. Dennis is a great guy that has done a lot for pool players and the sport. The ABP on the other hand are a bunch of spoiled brats who think the world owes them living just because they can draw their ball! If they want the respect and the big bucks they need to earn it!

I was just going to say the same thing. What's wrong with these people? Don't they have any class at all? Haven't they heard of copyright infringements?

I don't see why it would matter. Mine is running twice the speed it was designed to and I can still live thread. There is only one motor which controls the head stock and the carriage through a system of gears. They should be synced together. How does the converter change that? I haven't used...

Paul's advice is good, but what I did with my South Bend was take the 1HP, 3PH, 1750RPM motor off and replace it with a 2HP, 1PH, 115/220V 3500RPM motor with the same style mount. The higher speed makes it much better for woodworking. I've been running that bad boy for 18 years and I wouldn't...

Yeah, the Oyster is a legend in his own mind!

Danny DiLiberto Danny is a good friend of mine and often stays with me when he's traveling. I no longer own a pool room but have owned a couple and a pool bar in the past. Danny and I have spent many hours talking about how to run a successful pool room and I can highly vouch for him and his...

True Gary but with the anti-Buzz ring, you only have one end grain surface at each joint making it less likely to wick away enough glue to cause problems than when you have both sides of the joint wicking. Sherm

I've often thought the same thing but I just went along with the flow.

No. It's at the other end of the tenon sometimes covered up by the wrap, sometimes incorporated in the deco rings above the wrap, below the forearm.

More often than I've built a cue with a wolf on it!
