I am beginning to think it may be to deter people from making cues? I saw a few years ago someone with a taper saw table and a modified metal lathe and they had a pretty hefty order schedule they were fulfilling with just that. He used the metal lathe to put a new tip on my cue. He was turning...

Cue building mostly for me... I love the idea of building my own cues. I built my own table years ago and have always had this gnawing desire to build cues. I am leaning towards a metal lathe as I want to build other things. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Looking to buy a cue lathe. I currently own a shop smith 70s model. I know I will have to jig the crap out of it to get it to do what I want. Other option is to buy a metal lathe. Third is to get a cue lathe. If you had your choice which way would you? Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

We were in the APA money cup. I was chosen to do the 9 ball break for $1000. I walked up and looked at the rack and the league operator, who racked them, said there ain't no gaps there. I went back and drilled it. Cue ball drew back to the middle of the table and the 9 crawled up into the rh...

Looking to buy a cue lathe setup. Please PM me with what you have. Want to build some cues that have been floating around in my head. I am located in Florida and can travel within the state to pick it up. Outside of state my zip is 32955 for estimated shipping. Would love power drive CNC and as...

I loved BBS's! I had a war dialer that would scour phone numbers while I was at work. When I got home I would spend hours reconnecting to modems it found. I started out on a 300 baud and thought I was a GOD when I bought a Prometheus 9600 baud used for $700 in '89. Hey it was the only way to...

IGT +1 you only have to read the first part of the book. Here is a Cliff Notes of the mental game books I have read and what helps me. Three things you need to do while at the table are: 1] don't beat yourself up with the inner voice while playing. If you start hearing yourself say things...

Awesome information! I think I am leaning towards my first inclination that it is ivory. Sorry WildWing I am going to have to disagree with you this time. I weighed my red dot cue ball from my centennial set and it comes out at 5.8 oz. I really appreciate the input and help on this from...

I would love to know that myself. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Another find on our way back from vacation. Chalk holder. Just going to ask what you think it is made of and what year. I see no other markings on it. It does appear to be old but not sure of the year. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Just weighed it and it is 6.3 oz Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

I was on portal communications in 92 out of Cupertino. I was using Archie and veronica then if I remember correctly Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

As for selling it, originally was my intent to do so... but... if it is as perfect as it appears to be and if it is ivory, as you say it will be hard to put a price on it. I will do further tests on it when I return home to find out if it is genuine. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Thanks for the resize. I believe if someone were to spend the time trying to make it look like ivory they would have done a better job at making it look less perfect. I don't think the weight is going to tell me much because if they spent the time to get the grain and shreder lines right then...

Oh GD! I hate taking extended periods of time off and missing classics like that. Thanks for catching me up! That's awesome.... Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

I have always thought that taking a piece of history like the Johnston City pool tournament and getting some good directing and actors would have a chance. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

To add to that. Get good help! I have had some really bad instructors over the years. Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

Was talking with the wife earlier today as I drove to a couple of defunct billiard stores. Does anyone realize what perfect timing that the release of COM was. It was just before the internet and video game boom. With all of the mindless rehash that Hollywood puts out and the short attention...
