Yes, and thanks for your concern. I am sure not everyone has seen it.
I'm just doing my part to keep this at the top!
Glen, I ride motorcycles. Have ridden them for almost 30 years. I understand what you're saying in the above, but you got one thing slightly incorrect. Actually, the correct spot to ride when it's raining IS the centre of the lane. Yes, the oil and antifreeze and whatever other chemicals that have dripped on the road may be there, but due to cars and trucks pressing down on the road, there are ruts in the road in the right and left tire lines. This can create channels of water, on which you will hydroplane on a motorcycle. Some road riders know this. Every single track rider knows this. If you stay upright, and in the middle, you will stay pretty safe in the rain. To say that only new riders ride in the middle during rain is just false. Experienced riders know to move to the middle once it gets wet. And your best bet during rain is to park your bike for 15-20 minutes, let the rain wash the centre line for you, and then go on your way.
Hoping you have a speedy recovery.
Does anyone actually believe this blowhard's BS? He's saying that he created a surface 4'x8' flat and level to within one one-thousandth of an inch. In a garage. Out of wood. With a homemade gantry running a two-hundred dollar router.
He then checked it with a beat-up machinist level and a bar of aluminum stock?
This guy is ridiculous.
In general i would agree with you, but fresh rain, no standing water on the road, going into a banked turn, leaning over to address the turn, i still don't feel the centerline is the safest to ride, have had many fishtail experiences to keep testing my luck. But riding straight down the road, you bet, I've encountered the hydroplaning as well to know to ride on the hump and slow my freeway speeds down. It wasn't raining when i rode to the 7-11 to get something to drink, it started raining while i was in the store, which is only 1 1/2 miles from where i was living at the time. Toppenish is in a desert, when it rains you can see the road oils on the road like gas on water, because there isn't enough rain to keep them washed off the road.
Well hell there buddy, you must have a better way of matching up a missmatched GC frame then, why don't you post your work, or are you just better at running your mouth
Think a better straight edge would show this frame to be more flat?

It's always the ones that can't do that complain about those that CAN do
Nah, it's those who can do and understand things that point out false claims made by charlatans.
If you think that is something, then you're going to love the 39 point leveling system and steel plate joined slates turning the 3 piece slate into a free floating 1 piece slate that uses no slate screws to mount it to the frame of the table...LOL then i can fine tune the slate to dead level....AFTER i assemble the table completely....lmao.
Yesh?....show your work...hack! Don't be bashful about it...LOL
It's always the "post your work" that tells the truth about people like you, you never post it because then you expose the real work you do....hack work!
Are you a table mechanic? If so, tell us all about your work.
You and i have had run ins before, you were a hack back then as you still are now
He's an Engineer so he must know all about Billiards Tables.

Ya' know, the saddest part about you is that you do decent enough work. You don't have to make claims like how you are the only living person who can do something. I guarantee that I work with 50 guys who could do what you do, as well as you do it. We choose to, instead, design and build multi-million dollar CNC machines.
Your methods are clever and they obviously get results which are good enough for playing pool.
You claimed that you were '...level to .0010" everywhere...'. That is the same as saying that it is flat to 0.001". That is one-third of the thickness of a sheet of notebook paper. You don't have a method to measure that. I guarantee this because you would need nearly $100,000 in hardware to measure that. That wood will move more than 0.001" with a temperature change of only a few degrees.
Charlatan.
Which goes back to what i always say, the hardest jobs in the world are made easy by those that don't have to do them! Sure there's better ways of cutting a GC frame to flat, cnc machines can do it...great, can't load one in my truck and take it on the road with me and set it up for the next job i do, my system works, and its portable!
