My idea: Have Mr. Edwards or someone close to him set up a paypal account for donations. Interested AZB members can then donate $5.00 or $10.00. Once a certain amount has been raised, say $500.00 - we get someone over to Mr. Edwards House with a video camera, and we have a video tape made of CE snapping the cue in half, then breaking the butt down with an axe, and then burning the cue in a fire. Cut to a scene of the ashes being scooped up, and placed at the base of a rose bush, and the ashes being watered into the ground. As the camera fades out, words come up over the now out of focus roses that say, "To anyone that feels they need an apology owed..." - fade to black.
The video is then posted on YouTube for all to enjoy, Mr. Edwards keeps the donations. Donors get to enjoy a proverbial pool-world (cue) snuff film, and Mr. Wheat gets to spend whatever time he wants thinking about how much nicer all those roses will look with that fresh ash soaking into their roots.
In the end, EW made the Cue, CW Got the Cue, CW doesn't have to worry about any bad sale to a 3rd party, and we can all walk off into the sunset saying "Ashes to Ashes, and Dust to Dust".

I would have to think on this one.... The thought of EW watching his cue being broken & burned would be priceless. JMHOBHQ said:deleted:..................

I can't believe 2 threads in the main forum about E Wheat have lasted this long without getting deleted...lol.

What I am very proud of is that instead of continuing down that path.. he took something he loved "pool" and learned how to make cues. I was more skeptical than most of you because I knew him personally.
For 8 years I never would buy a cue till he got better with the lathe just because he could play pool and knew a good hitting cue doesn't mean he could make one.
I takes alot of time to build a cue and he just shipped 3 out (slow boat to china maybe but he did come through).
Which just further shows he's not out getting into "trouble".
If you look at the last post Eddie hardly posted at all "for once not throwing fuel on the fire". I'm sure he's learning there's more to being a cuemaker than just building cues, yes the business side (he'll make plenty mistakes and he'll learn from them).
I FOR ONE AM POSTING "CUDOS" TO EDDIE FOR OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO TURN HIS LIFE AROUND.
As for my fellow AZer's in todays world we do need to be skeptical this forum is a great source of communication and a good way to protect the other members from fraud and you guys never miss much.
Eddie keep that lathe turning and stay the course it takes time

Would rep it but hitting the rep button is just one of several aspects of navigating the forums (when I get ever get signed in in the first place) which logs me straight back out again and keeps me out, for reasons whicn no-one can explain to me.....just moving on to the next page of a thread logs me out.
Hope you miss the next storm, seems you're owed a break:smile:
