It was entirely to soon for April 1

Make that coin weight disappear by putting it on the scale and pressing the tare button if you intend to use it for size.

It really doesn't matter who or what. Very simply if someone has something to sell and they are asking that you send money to some other name...run don't walk. Too many times people get caught up in what they feel is a deal to good to pass up and do stupid stuff. I've been there myself only to...

For you... maybe right up your alley. ;) For me... what would you do with a half finished shaft? :unsure:

A little over 11 years on the forum and 18 posts. 11 of them have been in this thread. The man is clearly bored and just trying to get a rise of the group.

This thread reminds me of the guy that walks into the shop and asks to put a 2 dollar tip on they bring with them.... Guy with tip: Do you install tips? Cuemaker: Sure, you want to wait for it? Guy with tip: How much? Cuemaker: $20 if you wait for it...$20 if you leave it. Guy with tip: But I...

Torrified/roasted/baked/cooked maple wood is put through this process to squeeze the moisture from it and collapse the interior cells so moisture has a much harder time getting back into or out of the wood. When you remove the weight from wood this way it is naturally going to make it lighter...

And that's the only way it should be. ;)

This can at times be an uncertain thing. I have done refinishes where I asked if they wanted the shaft spruced up and a new tip installed. I was told that if I touched the shaft other than 3 inches of new finish at the joint they may never speak to me again! 😅 I've also been in situations where...

Wow! Dribble? You didn't get what you paid for but you weren't out any cash? Typical posturing in todays world...always someone else's fault! What I have or have not to do is really none of your business. I'm only here to help cause you certainly need some.

Probably not Proficient's fault. If these things aren't totally talked about pre job then even though they may see these things need attention, if it's not on the work order, it's not going to get done. Now again, in the right place, the individual/company doing the work should bring this to...

OK...so it becomes a little clearer now. You really didn't get "shafted" per se. You were reimbursed for things that didn't play out as you had wished. Had you got shafted...you would not have received anything. I understand it sucks when we try to make an online purchase and it doesn't play...

Hate to say it but the price of everything thing is going up. The cost of my clear finish alone has jumped again. Welcome to the new world we live in. Don't worry, it'll get fixed! As far as the cost of your cue getting refinished. And this is only if it were in my shop, but you could expect...

My thoughts exactly. Used=possible dull=possible heat=possible cracks=possible unhappy used gun drill owner.

Well that explains it. 😕 How about the "shafted by" eBay sellers now? Or is that just an arrogant complaint?

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting please. :p

Jan 21... And now March 5th... Same topic, different day. Bored? Explain how you've been "shafted" by eBay sellers? Anything I have ever purchased off of eBay, even if the seller states no returns, I've been refunded on if it does not fit the sellers description. It may take some back and forth...

The thought of living in a prison cell for an extended period of time was the only thing that kept me from strangling the person. The years of patina and flaking paint on the sign was priceless. I was going to coat it with a clear satin finish to try and preserve that history as much as...

He did on rare occasion sign a cue. He wouldn't do it unless he was specifically asked to do so. He purchased his pointed blanks from a company overseas that he used in any cues that had points in them. That's why some of his cues will get misdiagnosed as not being one that he built. He also...
