You invented the 3/8-10? The same pin used by McDermott, Viking, Mali, etc.?

Far from it. The standard 3/8x10 is still, and will continue to be, one of my favorite joint screws. The only screw I have not used in my cues is the newer 3/8x10 flat bottom. I have the correct tap for the standard, which means my hole for the threads matches the screws .281 minor and don't see a need for the flat bottom in my cues. If it's not broke. Don't fix it.
My favorite pin as well although I use both. From an ease of installation, play and cost perspective it's simply the nuts.
Yes I did.
In my beginning days at Joss Cues I measured a 3/8-12 pin on a Ginacue (a standard wood thread) and mistook it for a 3/8-10. Dan and I had the 3/8-10 pins made to order and McDermott and Viking copied them.
That is a fact.

Not the first time I've heard this. Mr. Janes told me years ago. He didn't mention the 12 thread. I think he might still have some of the originals. He doesn't throw much away. Lol
Thank you to both of you.
