undercutting? are you kidding me? Hi Ron, You don't know me and I don't know you. I do know that you recently undercut both myself and another very well known AZ mechanic this week. Just fair warning to others. There are rough prices that several mechanics use since many of our areas overlap...

Hi Joel, I hope I can be of help here. Being that you are looking for a quality Simonis recover and quality shim work I would watch out for the "I'll be around guys". There are plenty of pool table mechanics in your area that you can meet to feel out there knowledge before commiting. Ask to see...

Jeez...what a hack! Can't he see there aren't enough staples? I use glue, 6 penny nails, and enough staples to make the rail beg me to stop.. unless I really want it tight then I break out the pneumatics

Thats pretty F'n cool John, almost as sweet as the ground plate and ball bearing! Cant wait to see your OTLVise, I sent you an email about a job to use it on. Rob www.tabletek.net 215-622-8899

Thanks for the link, wouldn't have seen it otherwise. I am interested in craftsman lathe and wood lathe.. what did you have in mind? Rob

I am a huge fan of the barter. In the process of building a shop to make Tim Allen jealous there is a list to the floor of machines I keep an eye out for. Recently I have bartered for a Grizzly dust collector in exchange of services to repair an antique slate Just curious on the rest of you to...

pictured Fischer pool table I have moved several of these in the last few years. It is a 7/8" one piece slate. It is a bear.. I do recommend taking the frame apart as it is easier that way. The top is one piece and it is a fairly oddball design. The get access to rail bolts, use a small...

I'm there, what a riot.

Mr Smooth! Nice reference to the constitution my man.. " The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry, 1799

I hear ya there! I've been doing quite a bit of long distance jobs the past few years. Thankfully I haven't had any callbacks, though I know eventually I will. Too many variables to deal with. I do make a point of following up on long distance jobs more so than local. I did have a billiard...

Bumpity bump

Mr Wilson You can delete me if that best serves your role as moderator. As the contrarian to Glen I feel obliged to call him out. This isn't a place where free speech applies as we are both saying same things. How many contributing members no longer do so solely due to the actions of one...

Its funny how much you learn in business through hindsight. I am have such difficulty with these two storage tables I am going to have no choice but write a full on contract for future jobs, probably involving counsel so I dot all the T's. Same to be said on warranty work. Need to really spell...

Am I supposed to think you are doing all this out of altruistism? The DVD you got paid for plus royalties...the rkc billiards company..industry regulation ...the diamond billiard tables...and don't forget the 256 room pool hall in south Dakota? Stop drinking the punch already. I applaud your...

Am I supposed to think you are doing all this out of altruistism? The DVD you got paid for plus royalties...the rkc billiards company..industry regulation ...and don't forget the 256 room pool hall in south Dakota? Stop drinking the punch already. You are so fake.

Ill buy it back then, they are real good blanks

You guys are always welcome. I still have shaft blanks if you want a few. I probably will have my cue machine and spray Booth so can't sell many. Let me know. Might even have my army pickup running so we can have some good ol' boy fun! Talk later Rob

What have I done for the industry? I do love the work and the freedom working for myself provides. That being said, I am in business so I don't feel that I am required to do anything other than what my service and customer support would need to grow. Do I need to be a "Yes Man" to save $10 on...

Thurs March 10th to Sunday the 13th...I'm probably gonna play so would most likely have people over throughout but schedule for Sunday for mechanics. See what those coming would like and ill plan to that. My game is weak so unless the pool gods throw me a major solid Id say the weekend should be...

Its getting to be that time again! SBE is around the corner ...time to start planning. Anyone interested in a mechanics dinner? As always all mechanics are invited to my shop which is about 20 min from valley forge. Yes, Glen is invited too. We can play show and tell and all walk away with...
