Wouldn't some sort of epoxy be a better choice for something like this?

Schon is a mostly no. They have come out with some spliced points lately.

here's some info I was a little off on the year :) As Valley Co., the original company was founded by Bill Rickett in 1947 in Bay City, Michigan, where it remained under the auspices of a series of controlling companies including Kidde Inc., U.S. Industries and Fenway Partners with Rickett...

Valley was briefly owned by Brunswick, bought around 2005 maybe? But have since sold them. Remember the Brunswick Metro coin-ops? Brunswick looks, Valley playability, sadly.

Seems to last the elephant a lifetime :grin-square:

I think your numbers are a tad off, I know there was over 700 8 ball teams last year plus 300 or so 9 ball teams not to mention the ladies team, with the 8 and 9 ball there is over 8,000 people right there. Plus I think the 260K membership number is actually 260k members ever, not current. (at...

They gotta be legit, the guy has like 10 of them up on e-bay. Somebody would have to be deranged to cut up a bunch of new Schons like that! lol

That's when the started selling the rail/apron kits to upgrade a GC1-3 to a GC4

The Diamond 8 (45x90) is in between an 8' (44x88) and a Pro 8 (46x92) I highly doubt the difference would be noticeable if you have the same pocket dimensions especially since as Glen says the Diamond has a deeper slate which will play tighter.

I have one brand new, PM sent with details....

C Billiard Co is actually short for Chambers Billiard Co. He is a top notch mechanic as well as doing awesome antique restorations! Here is a pic of a Brunswick Arcade he recently restored

I don't think a leather wrap would be the answer to sweaty palms. Purell and a towel do wonders to keep your hands dry. Take it from me, I sweat like a whore in church when I play, I feel a linen wrap works best for sweaty hands, I don't think a leather wrap would have any benefits whatsoever...

Are you sure your BCM cue is 3/8x11? I thought he used a 3/8x10 on his cues??

Massengill a Gold Crown? No way!! lol

The spindle bore is 3/4" but the thru hole on the chuck is only 5/8"

Tips and ferrules can be done pretty easily with a mini lathe, just need some shaft collets and some sort of outboard bearing so the shaft doesn't wobble around, as far as making sneaky petes out of house cues I think you'll need a miracle.

Liner or not, bondo is not designed to be put on that thick and it's just asking for trouble, I thought the filler on the rails was kinda hacky myself but I didn't know the guy that well so I didn't feel like bursting his bubble lol.

I would think that Bondo applied that thickly would most likely crack. I overheard a guy at the pool hall saying he had a 1/4 or 1/2" strip of wood behind his cushions, said it shrunk the play area a little but also made the shelf deeper? Not sure how that would work as I never saw his table...
