    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    I can think of so many who would bring as much attention. Will Ferrel would be an awesome choice, he is very capable of playing drama. Bradley Cooper Daniel Craig Costner Benicio Del Toro Kurt Russel Downey jr. Cusack (I would actually love to see this) Bateman Kingpin and the rubber hand was...

    Repetitive Stress Injury from Pool?

    Dear Abby, The love of my life leaves me in pain whenever we are together. After a couple of hours with my love, I end up hurting for hours or days afterward. I have been on-and-off with my love since I was a teen and I can't bear to imagine my life without those sweet moments together. No...

    Looks like you are getting your pool movie....

    It's actually not delusional. I've said it for a long time, but Deniro is capable of being a horrible actor and all of his iconic roles are mostly due to great direction (usually with a great script behind them). He is the worst part of almost any comedy he has been in, and was even horrible...

    Weird joint pin dimension

    Every cue company thinks that making their own cute little proprietary pin makes them special. I think it is 'pin' envy, if you catch my drift. Honestly, tho, you haven't really given enough information for anyone to make much more than a guess. Sure, 0.342" is about 12thou under 9mm, so it...

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    We could use Ronnie O as an example. He's still extraordinarily capable and has a better attitude than he used to, but he misses things he didn't twenty years ago. I just don't understand how people are so quick to dismiss strength being a factor in pool.

    Use those examples to explain decline with age, please. Tell me why those explain why Earl today couldn't compete with 1995 Earl.

    GENDER IN POOL ... Do Men Play Better Than Women? ... Recent Legal Trial

    The simple explanation is that more strength produces more control. I don't understand how people don't get this. Everybody knows that when they have to put more power on a shot accuracy decreases for most players. In a game like 8 or 9, maybe 80%-90% of the shots require little to no power...

    Riding The 9!

    Sorry, man, but this sounds like a solution for people who can hit hard, but can't make a ball or play shape.

    Wanting advice from the cuemakers please 🙏

    If the damage doesn't extend above the height of the MO logo anywhere on the diameter, it is possible that a cut could be made in the remaining butt material and a ring added below, keeping a core of the original buttcap. Might even do the checker patter to camouflage the repair line. I sit...

    Rug or no Rug?

    I agree. My wool rug is about like a thick berber. I feel the same way about shoes. I have a bunch of shoes and boots (to the point that it is almost a problem), all but a couple are very firm foot bed, mostly all leather. The soft pairs make me tired and make my feet ache. We are designed...

    Rug or no Rug?

    Carpet is not clean. If you've ever removed carpet, you'd think twice about having it.

    Rug or no Rug?

    The dust allergies are a problem, I had them as a child and was in the ER a few times. I've outgrown them, but know your struggle.

    Rug or no Rug?

    100%, I'd do the same. I have laminate flooring, but I put a heavy wool rug under the table. I'm a bit lax on the shoe thing, if someone really doesn't want to remove shoes, I don't sweat it if they are clean. I've suggested that people bring house slippers, that is what I use all the time...

    Rug or no Rug?

    Maybe it's because I'm tall and wear leather sole shoes, but I've slipped while extended way over the table so many times that I always want a rug. As a rule, I don't like carpet in houses.

    Tip burnish

    Shellac is a horribly underrated product. Almost nothing adds the shine and warmth to wood like shellac.

    Tip burnish

    There is a thread about it recently, I got mine from Amazon. The stuff I use was sold as block printing offset material. It doesn't have a cloth core like the stuff that has been sold to others. The cloth core would be better in a 4-jaw chuck. https://a.co/d/cKlAmEF

    Tip burnish

    Use the rubber strips once and you'll forget about ever using leather again. I mostly use ER collets on my lathe, the rubber around the wood makes tightening with a wrench completely unnecessary, haven't had one slip.

    Help with thoughts about Unknown pool cue?

    As I'm sure you know, not all plywood is cheap or low quality. I made a box joined folio case for a graphic design student/friend years ago out of 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood, at least 5 cores. He wanted the edges shown for the pattern. He said that he had offered to buy it during three of his...

    That case is miles beyond the precious case. Anyone should be able to sit the difference. The mitered corners are enough for anyone who has built a box case to tell. I did always hate that they all seem to use the same cheap latches, tho.
