2000 and you make breakfast in 12 weeks you get a cue!!

Dude!!! All of Dieckman's videos are hysterical! you can't possibly make this guy up. I so want one of his cues just because of his videos. They are absolutely must sees, go to youtube and watch them all, you won't be disappointed. Anyone want to trade a dieckman for a palmer model d? I'm not sure I could do 2 weeks with him, but I'd love to hang and have a few beers and shoot pool with him.

I don't no about that think a couple screws have come loose, but you never no could turn out to be a blast.
 
is he really this weird ?????
I have never met him but wow a bit out there for my taste ....lol
 
I'll be even more candid, I'd only visit this fellow if my CCW permit was validly recognized where he lives.

Let me get this straight.......miss an entire week of work........pay my travel expenses to him.......rent a motel
room and of course car rental.........get my ass out of bed to come cook him breakfast.....I guess that he'd be
cooking lunch for us....right?..........and work for him for free for an entire week so I can do what......cook,
clean for him...fetch parts he likes to throw around.......maybe even turn the switch on a piece of CNC
equipment to cut some inlays???

How much do you think this cue would ultimately cost you to undergo and endure a fun filled week at the
world famous Dieckman's Pool Jamboree Camp?

Are you for real????? Did you get the impression that the VA number he was holding was his medical case
file records.............Anyone else get the impression of previous attendees being chained in his garage or
basement and sold for body parts..........Did this guy impress you as a cue-maker you could sit across his
kitchen table and criticize how the cue turned out in a warm, cozy manner.......He was like a character from
a B movie or early Tarentino film.......OMG........And this guy thinks social media will benefit his cue business.

More likely it will be evidence for some DA down the road in a missing person investigation........the only way
I enter this guy's house is with my Para cocked & locked........he's scary and his equipment room looks like he
works in his garage. And the environmental control of how he stores his wood is so modern......and with light
sanding, most of the nicks and dings from him throwing wood around should buff out nicely.......well, usually.

And you can't discount the sheer pleasure of his company and gleeful personality......sit around at night with
him smoking a blunt......swilling down some Jim Beam......listening to tales of his 700 yard kill shots back in
'Nam......maybe watch "The Boys in Company C'' a couple of times.......and oh yeah, have the old "Diekster"
tell me his trade secrets to cue-making.......what an opportunity of a lifetime ......for someone .....anyone else.

Well, one thing I can say for sure, the guy doesn't know Vietnamese language. I believe he said "không biết", which means "don't know" or "don't understand", not "understand?" like he thought.

Hell, all genius are a little bit (or more) crazy. I don't know if he is a genius or not, but he certainly has the crazy :D
 
I think I've seen him on america's most wanted before. Serial killer that stores body parts in his freezer!! :eek:
 
I know who he is and most of his work doesn't appeal to me in the least. The man is crazier'n a pet coon.
 
My being a Nam Combat Vet enables me to understand Dieckman perfectly. I know where he is coming from. Two weeks with him, no problem.
 
2k is a bargain but too bad he wants you to live with him for 2 weeks.

If there are aspiring cue makers out there, this guy will help teach you. He taught many cue makers the art of making cue and has actual students.

Consider this a tuition fee. He's willing to teach you to build your own cue. He has a cue that is in the museum.

That 2k cue that you are building is a lesson. You can easily buy a 2k cue from him and it will be worth 4k. He hasn't adjusted for inflation and his name yet.

Anyone who collects and are cue aficionado should know him and have one of his cues. Those probably been sitting there for a long time and he never completed them because he stopped doing business on the regular. If I had the money I would probably buy up all stock and monopolize on his cues.

Just search for him on AZ and Google and be prepared to be amazed. At one time, everyone was using his cues in the carom and trick shot world.

This would be the equivalent of Cuemakers Woodstock! No matter what happens it would change you 4 ever...;)
 
I bought a bunch of parts for my Harley Night Train years ago and needed them put on. I took it to a shop thinking I'd drop them/bike off and pick it up in a week. I got there, the owner said OK, bring it back and let's put everything on. We spent the next six hours putting everything on, me mostly being an extra set of hands but getting to see everything as it was done and talking/asking questions all along. The experience was invaluable and worth every penny spent.....plus it was just pretty cool. I think if you're interested in cues spending some time with Dieckman would be the same.....even if you have to cook breakfast.

I totally love this guy. An original.

It's guys like this that need to have their own cable access show. Toss him, Earl Strickland, Jesse "Da Bawdy" Ventura and Woody Allen in a super high pressure cue building competition where its like Big Brother. but the cameras are online 24/7 and they cant leave the shop until their submission is completed.

tell you what.. i had the pleasure of speaking to dennis several times at the expo's over the years.,. he is deffinatly an odd individual but he is 100% amazing! not many people like him in the world and even though he may seem alitttle out there he is waay down to earth...

the day i first met him, he took all the unfinished blanks he had in his booth and threw them on the floor and stomped on them all..

i said to him , thats not very nice.. he laughed and said its ok.. i made them and i can make more.. of course we all know there was no damage because they were all oversized and unfinished..lol

and truth be told, i do not believe NOBODY at the expo can say one bad word about the guy..

last year he had florecsent hair.....

I'm not sure if his site is still up and running or not but he used to post articles and blog like entries and he's much easier to understand after reading some of his thoughts. A man who believes quality comes before anything else and that doesn't necessarily mean 1000 inlays or anything involving ivory. Great guy, very unique and I have never seen one of his cues that I didn't like.
 
2000 and you make breakfast in 12 weeks you get a cue!!

He may be off a little,but he can't be off as much as some of the stories I've been told about David Kersenbrock.

I saw a cue he made for Jamison one time,with a VERY interesting inlay under a clear plexiglass window in the butt,much like the old Dufferins.

The only difference was,it looked like it came right off THE PLANT :grin:. Tommy D.
