Hey All. Just found this old footage (Circe 1999 I think) of Oliver Ortmann shooting Snooker in Australia vs Hann. Oliver makes an unfinished 75 break. Very nicely done for a "pool" player. :cool: In my opinion, puts a bit of an end to the discussions that "pool" players can't play snooker...

I always love to see Butterflys. (Or should it be butterflies). Great Colours. (And yes, that's how we spell colours here ;)) Make sure to post up the finished product. Cheers - Dave.

^^ Many Thanks for the link. What great bows. :smile:

Any chance of more picts of that Bow ?? :smile:

Classic. :smile:

Sid was an absolute classic commentator. I loved his style. I have stacks of old videos with him commentating on that date back to the 90s. He had no idea about pool when he started, but he picked it up quick. For those interested in the original link, I have a link to some footage of the...

Lol....the o/p said he was from the states, and it is a predominantly American forum. You'll have to forgive me for using the word "your" in the last sentence of my post. :wink: .......and sorry about the "Ashes" too !! There are places here that use the 1.75" ping pong ball (You need a...

That made me laugh mate, classic understatement. Most comprehensive post I have seen anywhere in a long time. Things have certainly changed since I left the scene around 10 years ago. American tables were very hard to find back then. I thought you were going to say, don't bother going to...

About 5 years ago I made some stix for my bro-in-law, Even found some old photos of them. Casuarina with Leather. Cheers - Dave.

Can't wait to see this one finished........:thumbup:

^^ That looks very nice work.....:thumbup:

Didn't the devil shoot some pool in one of those twilight zone episodes......??

Nice detail on the stitch rings...:thumbup: Very smart. Personally, on the joint, I would like thinner black rings, and a shorter white section. (joint collar) I think I remember playing with a very early Rat Cue, in Vegas at the VNEA on the Mueller table, maybe back around 2000. I'm sure it...

Great to see more Butterfly cues. Very good. There should be a Butterfly Builders Club. For me, I would have liked to see the bottom butterflies on the playing cue complete, and not cut off the way they were, but thats just a personal preference, and maybe that was done for a reason. Cheers...

Neat....I always like to see a bit of work extend into the shaft. (or at least one of the shafts).....makes it even more special.....:thumbup2:

Couple of Picts of 3 Cues I built for my 3 Sisters a couple of years ago. (Sisters....doe.....:o) Some fairly nice Bird in there, including the shafts. Not my best Bird...mind you, as they were gifts, and I save the Best Bird for Me....:p;) Couple of picts of the handles.....not wanting to...

Hey Buddy. You have plenty of room there in square feet, but an area is not very useful without dimensions. Your room could be 30' by 30', or at an extreme, it could be 900' by 1'. The fact that you have said you need to turn the table 90 degrees (going form an 8 footer to a 9 footer) only...

Hey all.... My pleasure to post the videos. I was surprised when I searched that there were no vids on Youtube of Jean. Its even more surprising that it was some crazy pool nut from Australia that posted them when you think about it.... Wish I had the finish to the final though....:mad...

This is the last of the footage on the old tape. Sorry about the ending.....(or lack of)......I didn't make the tape. Cheers - Dave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMGddg6w9GQ

Hi... The final Part of the Jean Balukas vs Robin Bell match is up. Had a lot of trouble with the computer yesterday,......had to re-capture all the footage, so I may have lost a little continuity....but hey... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL7pGmVfoik Also, the first part of the Jean...
