Rkc...the Man, The Myth , The Legend,

[realkingcobra]

Yes KING....I surrender...you are totally right. YOU ALONE are the only one worthy of touching a billiards table...Who am I a mere mortal to ever dream that I could do such miraculous feats such as you. But of course there are those chosen few...YOUR KNIGHTS who sit on AZ and tell you how wonderful you are...maybe they can help carry your load, you can train them personally in a " school" ...for you and you alone are our only hope! You are the only one who knows how to do it right! SHUN THE NON BELIEVERS!! SHUN!!!

I can never be as good as you, because I don't have enough free time to photograph my daily trials and tibulations...When four rows of staples are left in a table I don't stop to pick up my camera...I pick up my pliers and pull them out...I don't post the pictures when I get home...I don't see the point in whinning about it...IT'S YOUR JOB!

of course their will be inferior work out there...Every feild has it....but I haven't ever met a car mechanic that takes pictures of it and then boasts about putting on the new water pump correctly...see to me thats just tooting your own horn.

But I guess I'll bow down...your are the CADALLIAC of Billiards...I'm a mere KIA...

I'm heading to walmart now...HOPING I can find tube socks with those stripes on 'em and a tank top...so at least if I can't be as good as you I can dress the part.

Kid, buy them socks in the little boys department, because the MENS socks are to big for you to fit into them

Glen,

I just gave you positive rep for setting up Daves Diamond tables
in Kenmore, WA.

I actually banked 5 balls in a row playing one pocket on the corner
table beside that insane 4" pocket table there !!

Do it on the one pocket table and you have the nuts

[realkingcobra]

It's not like I just painted the Mona Lisa or anything...It's just a pool table.

Let me try and explain something to you kid. First of all, maybe to you it's just a pool table, but to a lot of customers it's a dream come true, a wish granted, a thing of joy, of beauty...a POOL TABLE! What that means is, YOU are in charge of delivering their dream come true, and if you just look at it as a job, then the table is going to turn out...just like a job. I on the other hand prefer to work on every table I touch like it's the best table I've ever worked on, and I treat it as such. When you get a little older maybe you'll understand what I mean. In the mean time kid, awareness is what brings about change in this industry, if people are not made aware of what's wrong, they'll never know what's right when it comes to this line of work, and maybe when you get a little older you'll understand that as well.

I don't give a damn what you think about me, but one thing I know for sure, is that you're not qualified to carry my jockstrap, let alone my tools when it comes to your knowledge compared to mine in this industry!!! Grow up, learn something, and make something of yourself, instead of just another wet behind the ears kid!!!

Glen

PS. Enough said, I'm done with this thread.

 

[cuetechasaurus]

Anyone else like Hu want to get on this bandwagon? I think I should explain something be for you do. First of all, I don't shake, rattle or run scared and hide. And if guys like 101 want to put their money where their mouth is, I'm all for it, only it'll cost you about $5000.00 to learn in the long run if you want to show me up, cuz you're going to lose in the end when it comes to overall skills as a mechanic.

Anyone else feel the need to try and get on this band wagon started by an idiot, be my guest

I have better things to do than play these stupid games with someone that for sure has a personal problem with me, like I really care:grin:

Glen

There was a thread where people were praising Ernesto's work, and you promptly slammed him. Regardless, he is still considered by most to be the best mechanic out there.

Even if you two were equal in skill, I'd rather have him do my table then some pompous, egotistical prlck like yourself.

Man, Cuetechasaurus, you are leading the way in being a good guy for sure!

It's already been visited. Glen didn't slam Ernesto. He pointed out how he alters the tables that's all. He actually complimented his work!

If you alter a table dramatically, the customer should be aware of what they are getting, and what the ramification might be.

I'm positive Ernesto's tables play great, as many here have testified.

Glen is a perfectionist. He is striving for an industry standard. When tables are being altered, it grinds on him and other mechanics that follow it. Did he pass the Dale Carnegie course? Don't think so......but his heart is in the right place for US the end users.

You actually THOUGHT you had a choice of either ME or Ernesto?:rotflmao1: :rotflmao1: :rotflmao1: :kma:

Thats simply not true. Ernesto was getting praised for his work. Glen chimed in saying that Ernesto does tables wrong, and that many a times he was forced to correct Ernesto's "mistakes". That thread was good for Ernesto's business until Glen came along. He tried to hurt Ernesto's business, because Glens' ego can't handle someone praising someone other than him. End of story.

Glen, f@ck off, just like you do in the mirror every day. If you wanna act like a kid, I'll talk to you like one.

Sorry

I read the entire thread. I respectfully dis-agree with your take on it.

[ChrisShanklin]

Please I implore you to actually go back and read the Ernesto posts. Glen's "beef" with it was that he altered it to a point that was not correct, but he did compliment his work. What does it make you look like to get on here and talk about f@cking off in a mirror.

ON a much more rude note. Mechanic, take pictures!

 

[MECHANIC101]

I think cuetechasaurus is my new hero....

How funny is it when a fella says ......"I'M DONE WITH THIS THREAD" and then goes and post on it agian?

But you asked for it so i'll post a pic of the last table I worked on... but keep in mind I'm just a kid...and I don't know nothing...heck I keep huggies in muh tool box...just in case. I hope your not just teasing me about getting to carry your jock strap RKC....it'll be my honor.

 

[MECHANIC101]

I don't know if I'll have the time, ... but I'd really like a local mechanic to do the work on your table and work with him as he's working on it. I'm not interested in taking money out of a local mechanics hands, but I am interested in trying to show someone local maybe how to work on it better for later on down the road, when others call him for work.

Glen

See this is my beef...If some guy called me to set up a table and then had the NERVE to have someone else waiting for me to "show" me how to do my job when I got there...I'd be Insulted. You like make it seem as if it is all about the "dream" pool table...and making "the best it can be....but even without knowing WHO is going to set it up you ALREADY assume you can do it better. That's vain.

I can see that.
I think that it would be how you presented it to the local mechanic.
If he walked in cold I can see how he would feel offended.
However if it were presented as learning opportunity he might be receptive.

I certainly do not know it all and anytime someone wants to come over here and show me things about making a cue they are welcome.

And we can not rule out that sometimes the teacher learns something from the student too.

sorry to revive an old thread

In case you haven't figured it out yet, THIS Cobra....has a BIG bite

Glen

Sorry to revive another old thread but I had gotten tired of the BS in this thread and wandered off before seeing RKC's attacks on me one behind the other. I only see them now because someone repped my old post. Fact: RKC did attack Ernesto on the date stated. Fact: The list of his posts did start four days before that at the time. I was incorrect concerning his join date. I was correct that he attacked Ernesto's workmanship and I am correct that he has a vastly overinflated sense of self worth. He brags of his great craftsmanship and then brags that he can set up the Diamonds with one piece slate in thirty minutes or less. Craftsmanship? Throwing tables together in thirty minutes? Which is it? The truth is that setting up tables isn't rocket science. Anyone with a strong back can do it. A weak mind doesn't hurt either, especially when you are being played for a sucker like Diamond plays RKC according to his own sob stories.

My opinion, "Real King Cobra" is as phony as the cheap piece of chalk cobra he uses as his avatar. I always found it funny as hell that he used that image. Tells a lot about what he really thinks of himself!

You should not be reviving this old post if you just did not care enough then to keep up then.

Glen has ruffled a few feathers with his strong opinions but he continually provides innovative information and has a great number of people who can attest what a great professional he is.

Hu, did you just wake up or pull your head out of your *%$, the train has left the station buddy, and not only did you not have a ticket to ride it, you forgot to even show up

Glenn does excellent work.I personally am glad he posts here and glad others post about his work.

If you have anything to post about what you do,or think,about restoring or setting up new tables we would be glad to see it.

 

[Bigtruck]

Respectfully

RKC did attack Ernesto on the date stated [/B]. Fact: The list of his posts did start four days before that at the time. I was incorrect concerning his join date.I was correct that he attacked Ernesto's workmanship

No he didn't! Again....I read the entire thread that you claim Glen slammed Ernesto's work..Glen actually admires Ernestos work. He just is adamantly opposed to not disclosing an alteration that WILL effect the value of peoples tables.period.

... and I am correct that he has a vastly overinflated sense of self worth.

No, you're WAY off base.. It's clear you have no idea and only want to dis-credit Glen because you don't agree with him outing Ernesto's omission of facts when altering the tables.

The truth is that setting up tables isn't rocket science. Anyone with a strong back can do it.

This is the same excuse used by mechanics that are too lazy to learn how to set up tables properly. aka "felt applicators".

My opinion, "Real King Cobra" is as phony as the cheap piece of chalk cobra he uses as his avatar. I always found it funny as hell that he used that image. Tells a lot about what he really thinks of himself!

Hu

Again,WAY off base. You obviously are not familiar with Glen's work. This is comical coming from someone with a primate in their avatar.

Hu,

The fundamental difference between you and Glen is this...Your comments are loaded with opinions that are based on emotions. (Glen's confidence is offensive to you).

While Glen does often respond to negative comments emotionally as well, He CAN back it up. His work is as good or better than anyone out there and he always bases ANY "attacks" in fact not opinion. I admire him for that.

Maybe Glen should take a step back and hit the delete key on some posts too!

Have a great day Hu! Life's too short to do otherwise.
