If it were me, I’d go with u12armresl. He’s got raw materials, tools and appears to be willing to throw in a custom paint job. He wasn’t recommended AND it sounds to me like he’s got a solid business plan.
$50.00 for custom handmade join protectors from a fellow AZB member? Slam dunk. One day he’ll have the joint protector market cornered and that first set will wind up in a pocket billiards museum.
I mean, I’m just sayin.
But now you've done gone and recommended him. I'm guessing he's now out of consideration.
