Brunswick Centennial 10-foot Snooker Slates

Rob, the block works great...look Glen has shown us all a lot of things on tables....I call John Burns if I have trouble on antique tables....he's giving me some great ideas on tables...same as Bobby..Jay...Pat..just as I've done the same with them....but do you see any of them on here saying....that's my idea....he's taking credit for what I thought him.

Glen helped start this mechanic's section....he's helped a lot of AZ'ers from getting ripped off by asking questions to the guy they were about to hire....Personally I thank Glen for all the mechanic's I have gotten to work or talk with....people I would've never met if not for him on this forum.

I've given Brunswick a lot of idea's on the GCV.....greatest GC table ever (IMIO) my name's not in lights....and who cares?

Bottom line...who really cares who's idea it was...I'm just glade someone thought of it....Glen's the perfect one to share the Idea with......cause you know he's going to put it on here..LOL

We need to all get along together.....we can all learn for one another.....but the ego of everyone is coming out way to much....I thought the players were bad....the mechanic's are getting worse.

I promise ya this....if you have a horn to blow...someone will blow it for you...I'm not the best, no one is....No Glen....your not either....we're all still learning ways of fixing tables that didn't exist years ago....the things we're doing to rails today....the way we recover...everything has changed for the better.....and who's the ones making the changes......all of us......IF WE COULD ALL GET ALONG, AND NOT CARE WHO CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA....OR WHO EVER DON'T DO THE JOB LIKE THIS....YOUR WRONG....MYSELF, I'VE LEARNED MORE FROM GLEN,JAY,BOBBY AND JOHN....THINGS I THOUGHT I KNEW....BUT LIKED THEIR WAY BETTER.

WE NEED LEADERS IN THIS BUSINESS....GLEN WANTS TO LEAD....ANYONE ELSE WANT TO STEP UP AND LEAD....I SURE DON'T....BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY GLEN TAKES THE LEAD....TAKE IT FROM HIM IF YOUR THE BEST MECHANIC....NOT AND EASY TASK FOR ANYONE....GLEN GIVES THE BEST SHOT.

WE REALLY NEED TO COME TOGETHER......STOP ALL THE BULLSHIT.....HELP ONE ANOTHER.
TRUTH BE TOLD...I'M PART OF THE REASON GLEN'S IN TEXAS......HE DID ME A FAVOR...HE BROUGHT THE BILLIARD TABLES TO ME, FOR MY FRIENDS POOLROOM....WHEN HE TOLD ME HE HAD TO BE IN N.Y TO DELIVER THE GC....I STOPED THAT FROM HAPPENING TO GET MY TABLES TO ME IN TEXAS....FOR THAT I'M SORRY TO THE GUY IN N.Y.....SO I'M PART OF THE BLAME....NOT ALL HIM.

LET'S ALL TRY SOMETHING NEW.....COME TOGETHER AS ONE.

Mark,
Very well put. I think you should lead. I know plenty of mechanics who are looking for someone without an ego to get things rolling.

I second that, I've never seen an ego post from Mark. If anything he seems like a reluctant leader.. Which in this case is probably a very good thing.
 
Hey, I respect Glen and many of the other regulars here. The chest beating doesn't do anyone any good. Glen had a hard charging plan to earn respect from AZB members on here and he has earned that respect from a good number of people on here. Yes, he is controversial at times but so was Madonna and Paris Hilton.... Thank god we didn't have to see him in his under ware! :rolleyes:

You musta missed the edition of billiard mag that had a pic of glen in his simonis 860HR tourny blue speedo'
LOL!
 
"Lead the mechanic's"...what a joke. Part of leading is the fact that the leadership MUST have followers...or...there's no LEADING going on. And most of YOU guys couldn't follow someone else if your life depended on it.

Exactly what does "Lead the mechanic's" mean anyway? If you want to do something to change...improve...better, this industry...you don't make that happen by appointing someone to "Lead" this industry....because the question then becomes....WHERE are you being "Lead" to? The ONLY way you're going to change this industry...is to INFORM...EDUCATE...MAKE AWARE...ADVISE...PROTECT........THE CUSTOMERS! They come first...as THEY are the ones that keep HACKS employed...while you so called "Professional table mechanics" are so worried about them taking work from you...that ALL you do is complain about them...yet do nothing about it.

An EDUCATED customer is a customer that will NOT hire a hack to do the work they want done....only problem is...they don't know who in the hell YOU guys are....because you guys all want to fight and argue about who's doing what and what's he doing over there....LIKE IT MEANS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO THE CUSTOMERS!

It's a shame...a real SHAME that I can find work all over this country...from coast to coast....even in anyone of your back yards...with YOU standing RIGHT THERE WATCHING. So WHAT does THAT say about the work YOU do...that someone is willing to HIRE me...OVER YOU to do the work....in your OWN backyard?

Rob...where's that table at that you said I've been holding on for delivery for over a year?

What in the hell have YOU ever had an idea about....that interested me enough to want to copy YOU? If you think the use of a chopsaw is YOUR original idea....you're dumb as a box of rocks!!! I used a chopsaw with a 200 tooth plywood blade in it back in the 80's to cut off the ends of my bar table rail blocks and cushions when I was building replacement rails....so...do yourself a favor...get OVER yourself...you're NOT as great as you think you are.

And for all you that want to talk about who's the best...try this on for size.

You know you're the best....when you get finished with a job working on a pool table...and you stand back and look at your work...and know in your heart and mind...NO ONE COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB THAN I JUST DID ON THAT POOL TABLE...ALL THEY COULD HAVE DONE IS TIED!!!!!

Rob....YOU couldn't tie my work...if I gave you a 10 year head start!

MARK GREGORY

It won't let me rep you again. Apparently I need to spread some around first. Someone besides Mark, PLEASE say something intelligent and productive in this thread so I can spread around some rep! :D

Seriously though, guys, this bickering has got to stop. We're all in it for the same thing, and that is to better the industry as a whole. Fighting against each other to accomplish the same goal isn't going to work. I'm not saying we all have to be best friends, but Rob, you coming on here with the sole intent of dragging Glen's name through the mud is REALLY getting old. I've never had issues with you myself, but come on. Please contribute something productive to the forum and leave the kid shit somewhere else.
 
The Centennial 10' snooker table that I sold was 1" framed slate that had brass dowels and the mechanic that put it together said yhe slates were HEAVY!:grin:
