Wassup Pat! Hey Pat, I have talked to you many times about how much I dig that you stay balanced with all the crazy stuff that happens in our industry. I have never been a "team player", don't plan on that changing any time soon either. My comment wasn't meant as an insult to those that use...

JUSTABANGER, Thanks for buying the AMF, you will be happy with it provided time is taken during the setup with an experienced mechanic. As you certainly know by now, the 60's AMF's play great. I bought 4 of them in various stages of entropy a few years ago, got 3 very solid tables out of that. I...

The Billiard Universe according to Jeff So...I don't post here much anymore. There are so many world class mechanics on here and the chest beating makes my headache worse. I just have one question... Who here is supporting the ABIA, without being financially dependent on Jeff's other business...

Maybe there is something to be learned here? Something about bees and vinegar. Anyways, still on fence on how much I want to participate. I see some common areas that would be better as a group, but not many. It is still business after all, and prime for molestation from those like ABIA. Wanna...

Get the hell out? are you on meds now Glen I have been avoiding this site for months, just occasionally checking in if I had a customer email. That is the first human and even a little humble response I have read from RKC since posting here. Way to go. No, the work is got up to Glens in any...

I have yet to sand the top or bottom in that picture. I did however sand the bondo off of the edges of the crack, and fillet the top and bottom of said crack.

Nice post Wes. I am sure to have stooped to even have gotten into this conversation. Glen I never said I was a tough guy, cause I am not. The fact that you are now going there is because you have run out of other options where as I have not. This is not how business is done, and why I really...

I am not really the ass kissing type. Ya see I have bad depth perception...

That is a quality repair, I am sure it will be fine down the road. Tonight I will post another way to do it. My way is stronger because I use lateral supports inside the slate... And it is just as flat. Good work Glen

Stay tuned.. hehe

Nope, you will see shortly. Gotta get up for another antique job early so it will have to wait. I'll give you a clue, the final step is to hone the whole slate. I used my starrett 36" ground straight edge on all axis and was unable to see any light under (on the playing surface side).

radius is round and a bevel is not Yes it is cut and yes the pocket radius is wood. However the cut in the slate is a radius! Your post claimed that since they couldn't cut the radius, they made it 4 pcs so they could 45 both sides for the side pockets. So.. If I am getting booted already why...

Yes, she does accessorize a pool table nicely.

Fire Sale? Hi Johnnyt, Just wanted to add a comment hear so you don't learn the hard way. If you put a standard space heater under you table in a sealed environment you have a serious fire risk. Just know you enter at your own risk. Now that I said that, consult an electrician to wire an AC...

Nice Avatar Bob, is that the pirate from Goonies?

Pro-Am move downstairs Wow, nice job guys. I would have asked the guy when the addition is going up! Heh Let me know if you still want that cue shaft, I can mail it to you and you can send me a check after you get it. It was great having you both at the Hacker shop. heh And boy did I mess up...

Got another one for my Fans So anyone remember this? hah, and this is the best? I am no where near you level Glen, but I seem to have a lot of various information for being a total Hacker.... Hacker school sure is teaching a lot these days, maybe I should spend 27 years working on 3 table types...

Gotcha again Sucka (hehe) You are a top mechanic and you don't even know this? Wow, I must be lucky again. Now if only I could stretch Simonis.... HEhe

Hi Mark, Thanks for the time involved in your reply. You are correct in many ways in your post. The tool probably does do terrific work, I don't recall ever saying it doesn't do its job. I did however say that you cannot follow an unknown variable such as a featherstrip and claim that rail is...

Jeez, I sure hope no one knows how to copy and paste? What is Iwan's email address again? Nevermind, here it is. You are a riot, I could get you to say or do anything....just need to get ya riled up enough. Very professional, way to represent the industry. BTW, I knew we would end like this...
