Normally I wouldn't care, there was just something about the way he said it that really pissed me off. No one likes to be the butt of a joke, especially when it's not warranted or accurate.

I had shoulder replacement surgery last June and just cleaned off my table, (though not around it yet obviously), and started playing again a couple of weeks ago.

Very nice shooting. I have seen videos of you playing for years. I don’t need to know you to know a little about your game.

Now don’t get all upset if I tell you to go do the same with someone sitting in the chair at hill / hill just itching to get at the table.

Maybe you shouldn’t make veiled threats to someone you don’t know… just saying

Good luck with your game post shoulder replacement surgery.

Well, first off thanks for the nice shooting comment. However, you have to understand that even when I was playing the mezz tour I had already stopped practicing except for playing barbox league for my tour sponsor, SoCal Tap. So videos that are out there aren't indicative of how I played from the time frame that most of my stories come from.

I ended up having run away diabetes (14.7 A1C) and being hospitalized and having to overcome and get control of that and then found out that I had no rotator cuff movement in my left shoulder with a 3 inch bone spur (I play left handed).I had been trying to just play through the pain but when your shoulder can't rotate it's not the pain that makes the difference. I had reverse socket replacement surgery last June and only started playing again 2 weeks ago and I'm already playing close to the level I did before I stopped practicing (before the Mezz West state tour).

So when you insinuate that I'm full of crap when I tell a story, it pisses me off. You dont know me or my game, especially if you have only seen the available videos. I wasn't making any veiled or non-veiled threats, but I'm a better fighter than I am a pool player, been training in combat and martial arts since I was 7, I'm also a Marine and former military intelligence so I'm not concerned about someone I don't know in that regard. Please don't take THAT as a veiled threat. It's not, just giving background.

Really nice shooting. My first thought before you started shooting was.... "But it's a really good box" :)

It's a cnc mill for making cues and other stuff. Pool isn't my only area that I focus on. I also focus on automotive, guitars and energy and really whatever strikes my fancy. I have five 3d printers also. Well 2 SLA printers and 3 fdm, one of which I converted with a 15w laser for laser engraving.

Correct, it will be a x,y,z,a axis. I'm still contemplating whether I want to add more than one rotary so when I'm doing taper operations on a butt let's say, I could also use the same operation to do tapering on a second butt or maybe taper a shaft or something. But even with one rotary, I could still setup inlay operations off to the side, since it's definitely big enough and wide enough for that.

I also have a 12x36 gun smithing lathe and a custom cue making lathe and a finishing lathe so I can setup operations for different processes. So not exactly sure which way I'm going to go yet.
