universal shaft

Hi,

Just for the record guys Bill is not only one of the greatest cue makers of all time but he is one hell of a pool player.

When he does something it is for a reason.

JMO,

Rick

Kim, I will wager none of the mentioned would come over and gamble with you playing Pool either.

I am currently injecting Maple tree seeds with steel and planting them. I cannot project when they will be ready but I would be willing to put your name on a waiting list for a small cash deposit.

Funny, though, how someone that finds Wikipedia so laughable would point me to a section on Wikipedia. That's a bit ironic, isn't it? So, that means you read my post, found it laughable because I used Wikipedia as a resource, and then you went on Wikipedia to prove me wrong! What? You couldn't Google "piezoelectric vibration dampening" and point me to a "real" scientific paper?

It's a simple case of knowing your audience, and you seem like the Wikipedia type. I think that the heavyweight stuff is beyond most here.

For my own purposes I go into my library and look things up in Horowitz and Hill, or in the Electronics Engineers Handbook, of one of my other books. I find having real authoritative material on hand very handy, especially when working with things like ultra-high impedance piezoelectric transducers and the like.

D-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-n-g! Look at you. Dropping book names. Using fancy words. Geez, you must be reeel smart! How dare I think I could joke around with my fellow cue makers in the "Ask the Cuemaker" section? Especially when faced with such ultra-high-tech concepts that are clearly beyond me.

If you could stomach a suggestion by such as ignorant speck like me, look up the word "sarcasm". Obviously, I'd use Wikipedia, but you surely must have numerous dictionaries in your expansive library at your disposal.

(BTW: Did this really start just because I mentioned Wikipedia?!?)

Yes, sorry, a humour-less day and you got caught in it. Maybe an emoticon would have helped, but maybe not.

It was the ridicule of one of the most interesting technology innovations that got me started. Anyway, sorry you were in the crosshairs.

And if it matters, the words "fully understand" was part of it, not the mention of Wikipedia.

Fair enough. Everybody's entitled to a bad day every now and then. For my part, sorry for being such a smart-aleck. Sometimes I just can't help it.

I forgot to add that I am working on a new smart shaft that will be interchangeable and also have the lowest squirt in the industry.

jmoschgat, Mitchxout, and Humbled:

I would like to remind you of the rules of this forum, prominently posted as a sticky in the beginning of this forum:

This Forum is called Ask the Cuemaker.

The following rules are put in place to make this forum a positive informative place where anyone can ask the quality cuemakers who frequent our forum questions.

Although anyone can participate in the thread’s discussions and ask questions, it should primarily be the experienced cuemakers who provide the answers. It might be appropriate for non-cuemakers to give some input on occasions. But that should be the exception instead of the norm.

The forum shall never be used by cuemakers or non-cuemakers to criticize other cuemakers, the quality of their work, or their methods.

All discussions shall be had in a spirit of cooperation with the desire to learn and share knowledge. This means anyone can ask questions and the questions should be answered by cuemakers. Once the cuemaker gives his opinion it is to be taken as such and not to be criticized. There are many ways to build quality cues and there are many variations on opinions of what constitutes quality work. Therefore no one is allowed to start criticizing and slamming other peoples methods. Simply state what you feel is the best method and it should be left at that.

Supply sources can be asked for, but all replies should be sent in the form of Private Messages. This protects our cuemakers supply sources from the general public. Almost no industry shares their wholesale sources with their customer base. So in fairness to our cuemakers we ask that this type of information be handled through Private Messages.

These rules are meant to enhance the standard rules which are already in place and are expected to be followed by all participants.

Everything that you 3 have posted has been in violation of one or more of these rules.
