Yes, I am LAZY!

The first definition of "Allow" is - To put no obstacle in the way of; permint to occur or do. Only Chris can say if Chris allowed Lee to "take advantage of him" and it is only Chris' business if Lee did. We live in a free enterprise system that allows each of us to make our fortunes as we see fit. You have entered into the market of pool cue making. Maybe some old timers see this as being taken advantage of? Maybe some see it as progress. You certainly have not reinvented the pool cue, anymore than Lee has reinvented machines and while you, or anyone, may or may not agree with how Lee has conducted his business I fail to see where it is anyones place to judge whether someone has been taken advantage of except by those that may actually have been.
I was taken advantage of too. I have the right to agree with Jim. You on the other hand
have the right of someone who bought a book to read. You should keep out of it.
 
well as for your parts i do owe you i just keep forgeting them i am getting some taig orders this week ill for sure send you those items also you have cue the sneaky you know which one its on the way back back from scruggs shop when I recieve it ill send it either your way or mikes way up to you so you can get it finished up thats a keeper for sure after talking to dean the other day he feels tim will close the doors for good making that cue only go up in value ill pm or email you when it arrives.lee

Consider that interest on my part the rest will be handled this week as soon as it arrives check your email and send me your new address to ship it to the order from taig should be here today
 
thanks lee for openning the door. I have admitted on several occations that i am lazy. Being lazy is a another word for efficent. This is a concept that you have never grasped. On the other hand, it allows me to be creative. I am truely sorry that you aren't lazy, and that you are jelous of others that are. This realy shows when you continue to sell product that you could't have invented by yourself.

I find it interesting how many customers continue to kiss your back side until they have parted with enough money. You have on several occations shown your real face, including the recent post you made against myself and another upstanding cue maker.

I could go head to head with lee in any discusion about running cnc machines let alone buildng them. I doubt lee would have anything to contribute so i guess it wouldn't be fair. I made the mistake of goint to lee with an idea of building a machine. I had to explane to lee several times what i wanted to build until he got it. I had to actually stack the 80/20 up in a crude form for lee to even get a hint as to how the storm machine should be built. After lee understood i said i would come back and we would build it together. I didn't need lee to build it but i had interest in a resale market. Next thing i knew lee had built the machine. Now let me be clear here. Lee payed robert to assemble this machine giving him instruction. This he pointed out on his own. By the way, do the math here, $400 a week equals $10 an hour. Neither of them knew how i intended to use this machine. When i got my materials back, already assembled, i had to tear the machine apart and re-build it. As i did that, i made suggestions to you on how to improve it. Lee has wasted alot of time and money with materials that where not any good. This was not my fault. Lee had to pay someone else to asseble this machine, again not my fault that he himself is incapable of this work. I most certanly am and do. In fact, i work for the number 1 cnc control manufature in the world. My real job is to trouble shoot cnc machines.

I will not drag on and on though its not hard. I instead challagne any person that reads this post to: Call lee at brianna products and spend over 5 minutes talking to him about cnc machines. Then ask yourself if this man could realy build the storm machine without alot of help from someone with actual knowledge. If your answer is yes, then buy his machine. You will get what you deserve.

I did get what i deserved, i trusted that lee would do the right thing. I am now out alot of money and so are, i guess, at least 10 customers. They over paid for a machine, and for their troubles, the have a machine that will never preform as good as they are where intended to. In all fairness, they may not be awhere of what they have, lee certainly isn't.

Just to be fair, here is my newest machine that i built. Please notice that i did use the offset tailstock that lee sells. I actually had this built by the same machinest that makes his. The machinest is a great guy and does alot of lee's work. Again though, not a cuemaker.

that all being said. Lee at brianna products, stop making and selling my machine.

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thoughts

First off let me say that I am totally neutral here. Just been reading through the post. I have had many offers to "partner" up with people in my business over the years. At times when money was tight I even gave it the slightest consideration but always opted against it anyway. Reason being exactly the problem you guys are having. Along with the fact that no one has ever came to the table with the knowledge of the business that I have or the funds. I've just always felt like I'd be carrying a partner along but they would be reaping the benefits of my hard work, experience, and knowledge. With this being said, I'll just reap all the benefits when things are going good and if ever they're not, at least my business has to only feed one family. In a nut shell, when it comes to your woman or your money you have very few true friends (if any). The only way to find the true ones is the hard way. If you have a good niche in life. Go at it by yourself and just do all ONE man can do. It can be very rewarding. Good luck with settling your dispute guys. My advice it to go your own separate ways in the cnc business and try to somehow remain friends.
My thoughts exactly. Butterflycues
 
Yup, sorry that was a cheap shot Lee. Ironic what it takes to get your attention. I will tell you what, you had a good friend. One of these days you may decide to fix that. Until then, I will stay off your side of the street. Good luck to you. Someday though please contact me and let me know if profit was worth the real price payed. P.S. you still owe me a tool post and a carrage for my taig lathe. The was the promise that hurt the most. You shouldn't sells a friends property and not replace it.

Jim.

Mc2 it takes exactly what you did!!! Good for you.
 
I'm sorry BUT you are not lazy!!!! Hate to contradict, but your help is a clear example of working extra , not less!!
Bill

Thanks Bill. I actully do say that. It is sarcastic (spelling?) as I will work harder at the begining to make my job easier latter. This can be done without the sacrifice of quality or $$$.

Jim.
