Table-Tek is such a hacker

What a great title? Thank you all for your free advertising and to get some attention away from the Black Hole. I have a picture of his super secret tooling somewhere here....

This series of pictures was sent to most of the top level mechanics, and me too! In fact, up until I became the hacker that I am today I was asked to build them to market out of something that doesn't catch fire. In fact, I was never actually going to build tooling for him so I stalled like crazy. Business is about give and take. I gave the idea of the milling machine torque plate, and shortly thereafter his "secret weapon" came out. Life is all about timing.

I will give you all a hint, it has 5 laminations for each of the 3 layers of plywood in its baseplate!

Any guesses?

That's called a built up plywood jig base plate Rob, and it works much better than what you're doing....and now, you're acting like a spoiled little kid....name dropping in other threads as if to give you some hope of credibility, hinting in this thread that you have a "secret" of mine to expose.....well here's the bottom line Rob...grow up, be a man, own up to what you do....and stop trying to blame others for your imperfections.....this BS is getting old.

I'm trying to tell you Rob, if you're going to stay a member on AZ...you need to grow up and act like an adult! Take it for what it's worth!

This is hilarious, I am done playing with the illusion. If you get me kicked out of the forum that just reinforces everything I have said. I didn't throw the first stone, but I have a field full of them. Spoiled kid? Actually that couldn't be further from the truth. Aside from my Dad that lives 1100 miles away I don't have any family since my adopted parents both died in the last few years. And I find it hard to trust anyone, call it upbringing. So, my point being is that I am what I am and I can't rely on anyone but myself to get anything done. Spoiled? Not even close.

Rob, it's not what a tool looks like, it's what the tooling can preform in the right hands. I think the tool looks like shit, but the tool works great....the job is perfect.......the tables are right.....what more is needed?

I don't use that tooling...I use something different with the same results.
Glen, works very hard at what he does everyday, and he really knows a ton about all tables, so for you to try and put him down is absolutely crazy.......your not a top mechanic, and your trying to take on jobs you know nothing about. You need to learn from the guy's that truly know the trade, and then you can talk down to them if you so wish.

Remember one thing for sure, no one knows everything, and someone is always better.
You made a mistake on a rail....how you could not see that is beyond me....you should have fixed the rail
before you boxed it up. Now all you're doing is making people up set.

Everyone makes mistakes, but calling people out is no way to fix the rail, and do better work.
Glen, (like him or not) is a great table mechanic, and a good person.

I don't know anyone that's doing more for pool table mechanics than Glen.
I would never say, you could not become a great table mechanic.....more than sure you can......just earn your reputation.

Talk to a mechanic forum is here for us to help one another, not to put one another down.
No reason for this shit to continue, Glen is the top mechanic on this forum....is that so hard to deal with?

Learn from him, I learn from him everyday......I do very good work, but I sure don't know more than him.

Good luck to Rob....Hope it all works out for you.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the time involved in your reply. You are correct in many ways in your post. The tool probably does do terrific work, I don't recall ever saying it doesn't do its job. I did however say that you cannot follow an unknown variable such as a featherstrip and claim that rail is accurate. All of the tooling's accuracy is based on a rickshaw baseplate and whether the guide fence has a true line to follow. Otherwise you are just making a curved groove and a curved cushion match.

One more thing, who got called out here? Me, before this I was playing fairly nice. And it was nice enough that Glen was calling me almost everyday.

You are of course going off of what information you are being given from Glen. Have I ever said I was a top mechanic once? Nope. Have I ever said I don't make dumb mistakes occasionally? Nope, I usually bring them em or at the least talk about them privately. I am a stickler when it comes to basic logic, If A = B and B = C then A must also = C. I did pay attention in a couple classes during my education.

I do look forward to meeting you sometime, I have heard some great things about your work. I just wish you and the other Top Level mechanics on here would post more and try to keep the Ego of Glen in check. And here is an interesting twist, I do actually like Glen. It is the ego that fires me up.

Talk to you later.
Rob

I thought it was an air hockey goal zone like the fat cat conversion top this one would use felt instead of air.
