Hey gang, when I was a fresh grad and also getting into pool a bit more waaay back in the mid 90’s, I happened almost randomly (because there was no Google Maps or AI back then) on the shop of a local cuemaker in Marin County, California by the name of Fred J Velten. He was a kindly older gent who didn’t seem to mind spending time showing a young clueless and broke dude his whole pile of blanks, cues in progress, equipment, etc. In another life I think it would’ve been cool getting a job there sweeping floors. Come to find out, he passed in 2004 after a prolonged illness, and I get the sense that his output wasn’t that high, but does anyone here know much about this man or his work?
