    Figuring out the pin size of a shaft with no butt

    Is there an easy way to do this? I have an older predator shaft with no butt to try it on. It's a larger pin size threaded into the wood with no insert so I was assuming it was 3/8x10 but I think radial pins might be similar size? Are there any other big pins that are common? Does home Depot...

    Weird habit

    Does anyone else lick their chalk cube? Every once in awhile if I've been in the chair too long and I get fidgety I'll start licking my chalk. It actually doesn't taste bad but it really drys your mouth out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
