cuemakers

Sputnik said:
IMO, the best cue makers are the perfectionists who learn and evolve into being artists. These are the ones who sometimes have problems with people skills. Eccentric. They rest when they want to rest and make when they want to make. They also post when they want to. They work best when inspired, and stay away from producing sneaky petes.

One of these guys is Bandido. Check out the cue gallery in the AZ forum. Check out the most number of posts. This guy has made less than 600 cues since 1986.

Take note - I'm not saying he is the best, but he is darn good and his cues play well.

I find the first post as extremely arrogant and ignorant. I'm sorry, buddy, but slamming a cuemaker for posting is simply irritating.

artists DO have a hard time getting along. they see things differently from everyone else, and de facto, feel that what they do is the best way to do it. not saying there is only one way, but they all feel their way is the best, and they can get naturally get pissed about criticism coming from those they feel have no credentials.

and while yes, they're not all great, it is a point well taken that they are protective of their art.

dear mr purdy.......i have no idea why you7 feel so intent on trying to defend someone....i was not or will not spend my time have a battle of wits with leonard or anyone associated with him.....if you must know i live closed to bill schick and mike wheeler for some time and they both shared a abundant amount of knowledge.....and never were they trying or attempted to persuade me to get a cue from them......i have sat down in great detail and have learned much from mr schick....and it all has to do with how you approach these cuemakers and ask them to share there knowledge.........no need for you to act like such a ass and try to make everything into a fight for yourself or mr bludworth......you should appreciate the right to freedom of speech and if you ,him ,or anyone else doesnt like that you should have the constitution changed.....until then dont badger my self or other for what we have to say.......and you should consider yourself lucky that you havent gotten shit on by him.....and as far as my short comings are i am mature enough after the last three years to step up and take responsibility for my actions........and after 25 or so years as you say he cant step up- and admit that he has done worng....no he relies or people as you to get on there knees and give him head while you attempt to belittle others.....and you should not be so free with the god bleeses cause i dont feel you are any closer to god than i am.....so if you have anything to say ,say it and dont try to stand on someone elses feet or back....satnd or your own feet and merits......i await a shitty reply from you or anyone else that doesnt agree with me.......or either they can ask and maybe attempt why i feel the way i do about said cuemaker.......we all have two sides to a story but i only want all those out there to know all of it in detail and yes i will tell the bad on my part....take it and weigh it and you tell me whos more man to stand up me or him...........juston noah coleman
 
ps.....before you comment about my typing...im not a typist ......dont criticize my typing and i wont criticize your cooking......lmao
 
Justin, I do not take offence at anything you have posted. I am not pissed at you at all. If you reread my post, you will find that I didn't mention any names. Yes, I do know who you and PTM are talking about. You are free to say anything about anyone on here that you want, including me. I would defend you if I felt it necessary. ( I am not a typest either) plus I am the worlds worst nine ball player. I do know why you feel the way you do. It got worse with me. I have had disagreemrnts with Mr. Bludworth myself. I should have called him and got it straightend out before I sent him an email. He was probably more upset with me than he was with you.
I do not believe I badgered you in any way, if it seemed that way, I am sorry. I simply stated what I know is true. Not out of anger, but from the heart. I left you my phone number on your email address. Call me collect if you need to, or email me your phone number and I will gladly phone you.
It seems to me from the tone of your post, that you are the one who wants to pick a fight. It will not work with me. I my friend have learned how to live a peaceful and blissful life. I am not angry at anyone. I have found inner peace with myself and God. I will treat everyone with respect and dignity. I do not disrespect your posts. I may not agree with you, but I will defend your right to say what you want. I do not think I am any better than anyone. I do know that we are all one this journey called life. We are all taking differant paths. The funny thing is, they all lead to the same place. One day you will realize this, everybody will. I simply do not carry around all the anger, hate, pain, rejection, and fears from the past. And I certainly don't allow them to control what I do and say in the present. I don't think I am any closer to God than anyone else, including you. I have learned to live in the here and now. Not yesterday. This is called enlightenment and self-realization. I am sorry if I offended you and I am man enough to say it.
God Bless Justin, Don Purdy
 
Oh yea Juston, I am one hell of a cook. Butcher my hog every Thanksgiving. Cure my own hams, make sausage and scrapple. I buy my fish right out of the water from Alaska at the Wild Salmon Seafood Market on the web. Get it next day, right after it's caught. For steak, try Mike's 21 day dry aged Black Angus out of New York. I usually don't let my wife do the cooking. Thats another thing I have a passion for. Hope to talk to ya soon.
God Bless, Don P.
