    When do I get concerned about USPS?

    There is hope.... Hey John, don't give up. I ordered a motherboard off ebay from a private seller and he shipped right away Priority USPS from New York. Normally took 4-5 days from where he was. After a day it said it was in Ohio somewhere and "in route to the destination". Stayed like that...

    A2z

    AFAIK they are discontinued. I tried to find one last year and ended up going with Shars before I noticed that Chris has them in stock on his site cheaper. Looks like Chris's have the spacer for the deluxe lathe which will save you having to make an adapter for the Shars QCTP. Not sure who...

    Looking for recommendations

    Hey Dave, I've been in the same boat for the last three weeks or so. I'm leaning towards what Todd calls his Workstation since it's around $400 and seems to be able to get the job done. It has a 4 foot Taig style bed. May need the motor upgrade as I don't know whether the stock one is rated for...

    What is a typical league night like?

    Fortunate Been playing league since 1973-74. Took 2 years off in the mid 90's but for the most part I've played at least two nights a week and up to four. What can I say, I love playing pool! :) This year I'm playing two nights (VNEA) but am fortunate in that we have changed over to a two man...

    This old cue...

    Unfortunately this is not my cue Dean. Was just doing some work on it. I'll keep you in mind if any come through the shop that are for sale. Ken

    This old cue...

    Yes thanks, I saw that but it's the only reference I could find to these cues. I looked it over better when I was working on it today and found this.... It's almost worn completely off... got lucky with the lighting to be able to see it this well. So it looks like it is Pre WWII! Much...

    This old cue...

    I looked it over pretty good last night and didn't see any obvious markings but could have missed something. I'll take a closer look when I get home. Thanks for the additional info... my google-fu is not coming up with much on the company/maker. It would be something to find out his daily...

    This old cue...

    Thanks! You're most likely correct considering your picture. Appreciated! Gives me a place to start and a new line of cues I've never heard of before.\ Have a great Thanksgiving!

    This old cue...

    Got this cue for a tip and joint repair. Just wondering if any of the experts here have any idea who may have built it. According to the owner who's had it for decades (but not the original owner) it was built in the late 70's to mid 80's. Appears to be built well and is 100% straight together...

    First Lathe

    +1 on the drive pins, started with the three most common but found out quickly there are more shafts out there with "uncommon" threads than I imagined. :) Also, get a good collection of collets, ferrule, butt, and joint sized, in a pinch you can make a joint collet work for shaft cleaning if...

    I-Shaft Ferrule question

    Funny you should post this now... I put a tip on an i-2 shaft a couple weeks ago. It had a Kamui Medium so it had obviously been replaced before unless it came from McDermott that way which I doubt. I replaced it with a Kamui Super Soft. I didn't notice any "rings" and just barely took a skim...

    Brite-Tone: new waterborne finish

    More great info, thanks John. I didn't see anything on how much it takes per cue anywhere else in the thread. So I'm assuming using this is going to add a half oz of weight to the cue or less? I also have a guitar that I repaired a while back but couldn't get the gloss finish to match, this...

    McDermott diameter at the joint

    Sounds like they are still all over the place, even in the same series. You're going to have to measure to be sure.
