Please get on here to Glen he isn't doing a great job!
When we all know he really is, I don't really give two shits about his log book, let that shit go.
I love Glens posts, I dig them up, he shows new pictures of shit that looks outstanding. But of course the forum needs flamers, there good for bending over and making threads last waaaay too long.
Glen is that a piece of cardboard in the pocket to make the fold?
I'm aware of the reduced hours of driving HU by having to keep a log book. I'm buying this truck I have now, and I "PAY" for major repairs, not that it should matter to you any, but I'll tell you what, if I had to deal with customers like you....you'd never see my truck, no matter how much you paid!!!...So go cry someone else a river...Buddy!!ShootingArts said:Glen,
Your truck isn't legal in any picture you have ever posted. I have owned over a dozen trucks from one-ton to eighteen wheelers and everything in between and I know better. Depends on the mood the inspector is in, you got off light. Read the regulations . . . . . Buddy
As for the log book being no big deal, it isn't as long as you plan to cheat it. A legal log book totally changes the way you operate, at least according to the claims you constantly make on here. Either you are a total phony or a legal log book makes a huge difference. Read the regulations . . . . . Buddy
I don't care much for you either. I read your posts and rantings purely for entertainment. You claim to be an independent businessman, that has Diamond buy his trucks, pay his insurance, and cover his major repairs. I have been an independent businessman most of the time since 1970 and never had any other business do any of these things . . . . . . Buddy
I note your conceit thinking another mechanic couldn't possibly figure out the Diamond leveling system without help. I laughed out loud. The uses of inclined planes have been known since ancient times and they are still often used to level heavy machinery to far tighter standards than a pool table. I suspect that Diamond came up with the system from seeing it used or seeing the levelers in a supply catalog. Nothing novel . . . . . Buddy
You do a decent job at something that isn't particularly challenging and it gives you a hugely overinflated ego . . . . . . Buddy
I can't tell you how little it means to me that we are buddies now, . . . Buddy
Actually I'm not that kind of a guy. Sorry Buddy!

Look "Shootingfarts", when I work with other mechanics like SDBilliards, 10spool, and ANY other mechanic in this country, and I show them how to work, handle, repair Diamond tables, as well as any other tables as a way of helping support this industry, and I do it for no pay to them, and now guys like Donny aka SDBilliards can drive out to the BCA warehouse and pick up Diamond tables for delivery back to California and surrounding areas, who do you think that benefits when I can't get there to make the deliveries? I suppose I could just take every sideline job I come across and make a bid on that job, then turn in the quote to Diamond so they can PAY me NOT to work on other tables besides Diamonds, but then...John wouldn't have the great looking/playing table he has pictured in this thread....but I'd be paid NOT to do it, so therefor I wouldn't be loosing any money!!! Let me tell you something, Diamond nor the customers I deliver to pay enough money for me to live my life on the road living in the back of a truck, but the customers are paying a fair price for delivery and set up, that leaves Diamond, and they're more than welcome to find someone else to live their "LIFE" on the road if they want to, who's more than willing to use their own transportation, as I've done with 2 of my own vehicles, and wore them out, but had nothing to show for it. While you've slept in your bed at night, I've slept in the cab of a ranger pickup truck for more than a year, supporting Diamond's tables and reputation!ShootingArts said:Glen,

Agree.sdbilliards said:wow, that's a beautiful pocket.
That's what stupids do. They say stupid things, flame Glen, then disappear from craigslist. OTLB, Mechanic101, and probably many more. I think glen may be "whacking" these guys.Dartman said:Agree.
But according to hu - doing expert work with pool tables is "something that isn't particularly challenging" :killingme:
Ain't that some BS. Have you Mr HU ever set up A GCIV or a Diamond Pro, or a Connelly Ultimate? If not you shoud stop right now. I know this is a shock to you but you do need knowlage and need to be extremly mechanically inclined. To make a table dead on level is like art work. Because when you are finished each table is like a masterpiece for the mechanic to show off. There are plenty of hacks that slap a table together. But when you play on his table, Then mine...You will see why it is particularly challenging.Dartman said:Agree.

I have also cut to tolerances of one/ten-thousandths or less. I have built over a dozen successful race car engines, record setting pistols, and a rifle that shot an aggregate that was well under the world record, with me doing the steering. I could go on for quite a while yet but you get the drift, working on pool tables isn't particularly challenging. I worked on a couple of pool tables decades ago, no big deal.

I know your attacks don't count for you. You like to dish it out but whimper like a spanked pup when you get some back. It's an attack if the world doesn't kiss your butt but fine for you to attack others. Wah, wah, wah, whahh, wah. I hear some crying and now veiled threats. Need somebody to hold your hand with bad ol' Hu not stroking your ego?
More of the poor little me, I am the only person who has ever worked hard or long hours in the whole world. Guess what, many of us have worked harder and longer hours than you have, no big deal. We don't feel the need to come on here, "look at me, look at me!"
As for Diamond's reputation, you do it harm with every thread you post. You came on here and whined for pages when you wanted Diamond to buy you a new truck. The very fact that Diamond keeps a loose cannon like you around indicates to me that they are a far less professional outfit than they appear to be. A year and a half ago I was interested in a dozen or so Diamond's for a project that may happen in the coming year. If I had to have you on my place you couldn't give me the Diamonds. With your foolishness you will get yourself hurt sooner or later and whiners like you are the first to sue others when you bring something on yourself. Too, after looking at your pictures of Diamond construction I'm not nearly as impressed with them.
Showing just how little you know here Glen. Reduced hours driving, reduced hours all other work, and mandatory down time to reset the clock after working so many hours. Like I said, you either totally have to change the way you do business unless you have been lying the whole time on this forum or you will be running with an illegal log book. As I have already indicated in this post, I wouldn't let you on my property to change the toilet paper in the bathroom. I don't have time for a loose cannon or a whiner. As for crying, 'fraid I ain't the one crying, it is you and your buddies.
A handful of things. Amongst other things I stick pins in pompous people that try to run off other table mechanics and then talk about doing shoddy work themselves. I found it funny that you think it is great to be able to level a slate after putting the cloth on. If you leveled the slate to begin with and stretched the cloth evenly the table wouldn't need releveling to compensate for the cloth not being put on properly. You stress the slate to compensate for putting on the cloth poorly or using cloth without consistent weight? Now that is quality workmanship and attention to detail!
I have known many guys like you in the past, legends in their own minds. Not one that had to toot his own horn all the time was nearly the best at what he did. I sincerely doubt you are the exception.
I come here for three reasons, to learn, to help others when I can, and to be entertained. Your posts definitely fall under the heading of entertainment. I have laughed at your pompous holier than thou crap from day one while reading about all the foolish things you do and then tell the world about it. Forest Gump said something that applies here, I can't remember the exact words though.

Now...is that a BIG swing, or a little swingeasymoney1 said:Awesome work King Cobra. I recently purchased a 9ft Diamond pro and with the help of a friend who does table work part time set it up. Having assisted in the process of setting one up I have nothing but admiration for the work you do. That is far from easy and detail work and finished product you are capable of is truly amazing. Just wondering what would it cost to have you swing buy and redo my table.
PS. Thanks for the tip about the pockets.
