Done that, I think. I have spent a lot with them for sure. Bungholes can keep everything they got from now on. Everything is going to crap anyway, no quality anymore. They could have kept getting my money if only they had sent me some goodies

If I remember correctly, a couple of years ago it was said that you have to spend 1,000.00 a year.

I recieved mine today. Don't know if that is a good thing or bad. Either way I ain't sending them back. I will of course continue to buy from them. You would think though that if I spent that much with them two years running that I would have made at least 5 working cues.

qbilder said:I don't. In that case, I guess I can forgive them. They better not let it happen again, thoughSeriously, I have no clue how I would even spend $1G with Atlas in a year.
Actually, it's not that hard. I usually get my Mooris there so that's a couple of hundred, a couple of pounds of linen, 150 or 200.00 in ferrule material plus all of the phenolics, some shaft inserts and so forth and it all adds up quickly.

Yeah, I guess so. I don't do many wraps, rarely need shaft inserts, and get my ferrule material elsewhere. I used to get my tips there but since changing brands I get them direct. I do get phenolic there but have been looking for alternate sources.
qbilder said:
Phenolic is tough to find any more. Most of the plants are closing up since it's use has sharply declined in the Electronics industry. I used to get all of my phenolics directly from the factory, NVF, at a much better rate than I could get from Atlas or Prather but they were bought out and their minimum order sky rocketed and the line of items they produced became very limited. Both G.E and Westinghouse got out of the manufacturing business.
I don't use inserts in my cues but I probably make a hundred or so shafts for other cues in a year. Building cues is a good pass time but repair work is where it's at. Every job, other than polishing shafts, is different. You don't ever get bored.

I'd sure like to find some good brown, not that skin colored stuff or that chocolate brown stuff, but the red/brown stuff. I used to get it from Atlas but seemed like all the sudden it changed from brown to tan. Now i'm searching.......again
I never get any doodles.
Me too!!!
. Maybe I bought too little.

I spend some good money with them, I never get any goodies from Atlas. Just buying ferrules metrial alone from them is over $500.00Chris Byrne said:

Man I haven't got any in a couple of years now. I guess when you don't build much you don't buy enough stuff to get on their good list.
