Complete table & rails jobs

I don't have a dog in this fight... but I can tell you this...
as an army vet who is 6 foot 5, and 294 pounds (yes I am obese), I would not bat an eye at throwing down with ANYONE...
Not because I am the size that I am, not because I bench press 365 pounds, not because I can rip your arms off and beat you to death with them...
but because I spent MONTHS in a fight camp, and learned how to fight EFFICIENTLY.
any fight that goes longer than 30 seconds isn't a real fight... its a scrap

anyone that feels froggy and wants to throw down, I challenge you to stay on your feet for 30 seconds, and when you look up at me from your back wondering why you can't breath and have a broken arm, you might realize it's not a good idea to think because I am a fatass that I don't know how to handle myself.

As for Glen, I know nothing about the training he does or doesn't have... but please don't assume that fat people can't throw down

*drops mic and walks off stage*

Only an idiot would "throw down" with a guy your size since gunpowder was invented by the Chinese in the 13th century. I've seen guys bigger than you on their knees begging for their lives.......

This whole topic is silly. There's always someone tougher than the last guy.

Question for Mark Gregory?

This is directed at Mark Gregory as a question that only he can answer. I was standing right next to Glen when he called you and told you that guy from Canada that he'd recieved the GC2 rails from to rebuild had picked his rails up from Glens shop overnight and left with them back to Canada, that's point one. Point two was that he TOLD you on the phone that if and when he sent his rails to you to finish rebuilding them, that he'd PAY you the $1,300 that he'd recieved to rebuild his rails that way he wouldn't get screwed over, so when the guy from Canada sent you his rails, did you TELL him that RKC was going to pay you for rebuilding them? And if not, why didn't you. I've known Glen for a long time, clear back to when he owned his first pool hall in 1987. I've worked for Glen off and on for years, including when we were building the King Cobra coin operated pool tables. I get mad at him sometimes because he just won't open up about some things because he feels like if it's no ones business, then that's it, it's no ones business and he's not going to talk about it to anyone. But for everyone here on AZ to see Glen other than what he really is, is just wrong. When we'd change the design to the coin operated pool tables we'd built to a better design, I'd always have to go out to a bar somewhere and completely gut one of the tables we'd built and sold, and install the newer operating system, at no charge to the bar owner other than recovering the tables. Now, really, would someone that cares so much about his reputation actually rip someone off like everyone on AZ claims he did? All Glen is doing by not explaining to everyone on AZ, is protecting you Mark, because I know what I heard Glen tell you, that he'd pay your fees for rebuilding that guys rails, so what happened on your end, because it's clear he mailed his rails to you, and you charged him to rebuild them, next thing we all hear is that Glen ripped someone off by not giving the guy his money back. So, as Glens long time friend, and because I know Glen won't bring this up on AZ, why didn't you take him up on his offer to pay you for that work?

First off.....as usual no one wants to sign their name to their comments.
I have no idea as to what you think you heard....or what kind of story your trying to convince someone of....but I do know this for a fact.....glen NEVER offered me money to do anything...so if your trying to use me to defend Glen....your way out of line.
Glen said the guy came and took his rails and left.....he laughed about how the guy was a jerk for taking his rails.
Now I have no reason what so ever to lie about anything....and Glen knows he can't offer to pay me for working on rails....I don't care who's rails they....I like Glen a lot....but Glen still owes for 4 sets if pockets I've mailed him 3 years ago.
Do you think I'm going to do work and hope glen pays me.....you may think I'm and idiot.....but not that big of one.
Do us all a favor....don't try and turn things around on me....it don't make you or Glen look good.
I don't want to hear how Glens to nice to not say anything....I mean when does he ever hold anything back.
Believe me...if that were true.....Glen would be the first to come out and say something....now he's using you to try and make him look like a nice guy.....forget about it......I have no hard feeling with Glen.....those rails I did had nothing to do with Glen what so ever.
The called me and ask would I do his rails....Glens been screwing he over for 3 or 4 months and he sick of it.
I don't care about war stories...if the guy wants the rails done....I gave him my price and he said fine....give me your address. None of my business what want on between Him and Glen.......all I did was get paid for the work I did.
Please I don't know you.....and you don't know me....do t try and make me out to be a lier.
Run that bullshit story by someone else.....cause that's just what it is.
Glen knows better than to even ask me to do a set of rails that someone has already paid him for and think I'm going to do them and he can owe me...LMAO
But nice try.....and no one cares what someone used to do....all people what is to have done what they paid for.
You don't see anyone on AZ saying I ripped them off or didn't do what they ask and paid for.
It's best to drop this....because a lot of people know me...and how honest of a guy I am.

LOL wut?

This is sooooooo dumb.

After the customer goes all the way to Glen's shop and picks up the rails, then Glen offers to send the money to Mark? At that point it is not Glen's decision to do anything with the money except give it back.

If Glen was any sort of a decent businessman, he would have called Mark and sent him the rails and the money as soon as he realized that he wasn't going to complete the job in the timeframe he promised. That is called proactive customer service.

Apparently your friendship with Glen clouds your judgement, and from reading the few posts you have, they all have to do with Glen. Not saying you shouldn't support a friend, but in this case, I will help be your moral compass and tell you Glen screwed the pooch and continues to do so until he refunds the full amount to the customer.

Yeah, I don't get it. Why doesn't Glen just send his customer the $1300.00 back and let the customer decide what he want's to do?

I have no dog in this fight but I gotta say this. I have read a ton of these RKC/Diamond threads and he and Diamond may be the best thing going, but it seems to me that with all the time, trouble, and aggravation it takes to get one of these tables built and delivered, my old 8 foot Olhausen or possibly a new 9 foot A E Schmidt table look better and better. I live in St. Louis and my guess is I could call Kurt Schmidt , and he would build about anything I could dream up, and have it delivered and set up in about 30 to 45 days, and that table would play great!

Well, you can say what ever you want I guess, but I know what I heard, I was standing right next to Glen when he said it, so whatever. I was at Glen's shop to when UPS showed up with the rails from Canada as well, working on a set of GC1 rails, and that was at the end of October, so Glen didn't have the rails as long as you're making it out to be either, I think it was about 2 months total that he had them. But, like I said, you can say what ever you want, some of us know the real truth.

The real truth? Who has the 1,300 dollars? That's the only thing that matters at this point. Who said what and who heard this or that doesn't mean anything at this point.

The money.

That's all that matters.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Glen has the money and has yet to send it to anyone.

Some would say refuses to.

The issue is when will Glen return the money?

That's the only question that needs to be answered. How about you address that first and then play word games.

Until you get to Chuck Norris.

Please feel free to add Chuck Norris jokes here--->
 
Bottom line if I have to return property to a customer...especially one that actually flew in and waited for me. The first thing I'd do is give them their money back with a big fat apology. Right or wrong. I don't care what the reason is or whether or not I even agree with them. Its their property and their money. Money that was paid for a service. A service that wasn't seen to completion, if barely started.

You don't keep someone's money and then point fingers at anyone who crosses your path.

Return the money then, and only then, can Glen and Guppy cry about the details. Until then its theft.

But, like I said, you can say what ever you want, some of us know the real truth.

So let me get this right...you were there when the rails came in Glens shop from Canada....well then.....what was the hold up.......you mean to tell me......he put the rails in the truck when he was already paid for the job.....to ride them around for 2 months?

Like I said.....you can defend Glen all you want....but don't try and drag me into why he didn't do the work.
I have nothing to do with the work Glen does as he has nothing to do with the work I do.
Glen was 100 percent wrong....you know it....Glen knows it....as well as anyone with a brain.
I don't care if Glen pays the guy back or not.....that's on him....has nothing to do with me.

Kevin's a really nice guy....that's the guy that owns the rails....not my call if Kevin posted the story on AZ....I didn't ask him to post.....nor did I tell him not to post.....none of my business....as long as Kevin was happy with the rails I sent back to.....and he was...then my job was complete.

+1 for Mark's work. He's been to my house twice over the past few years - once to replace the cloth on my old table and recently to install a GC - and his work is top, top, top notch. Keep up the great work, Mark.

Welcome back to AZB Glen...... LMFAO

How can you be right next to Glen in his shop when he has stated many times that he DOES NOT have a "Shop"... ???

What am I missing ??
