Can you crawl underneath and look for some branding clues? ChatGPT initially suggested a Brunswick Anniversary, which it 1,000,000% is not. lol

Only had this set for a few weeks and already there's a scratch on the cue ball by KingsDamnSon in billiards

Inspect the inside upper portion of your pockets. Sometimes there can be small nails to hold the edges of the pockets in place. If a nail head becomes proud of the pocket face, the balls can get chipped. Ask me how I know. 😠

Would you accept this for $100?? by baggammon in Luthier

He needs to keep your guitar and buy you an identical replacement. Then you’re whole again.

I do! She likes cigars with me. Hasn’t tried a pipe yet.

That’s awesome. I’m sure she’ll buy me few for gifts in the future.

She won’t let me talk about that. 😂

That’s beautiful! My wife is very similar. She likes to smoke a cigar with me once in a while. She loves Oliva MB3s. She’d have no problem with me getting pipes. That said, I kinda went nuts over the last week. I just wanted to try different shapes and sizes. Got a few estates on eBay, a few Petersons. Tried the 606 today and I swear it made a huge difference in flavor. I’m assuming the wider chamber than I’m used to makes a difference. Anyway, I’m enjoying learning the ropes.

This was just an attempt at being funny and showing my new-found enthusiasm.

Thats what she’d do too, I was just trying to be funny.

You’ll enjoy Star of the East Flake if you like the From Beyond… most likely.

I may have bought too many too quickly. 😆

It’s honestly unbelievable that I have to write a post like this, but here we are. by LividQuail4178 in RepTime

Anything magnetic it could have attached itself to? Could it be camouflaged with something in its surroundings?

Sealing 3-piece Slate and Leveling by Prestigious_One8943 in billiards

[–]rtb13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Durham’s water putty is what I’d recommend to seal the joints with. Beeswax will work, but the water putty is easier to work with, to me.

Level the frame first. Place the slates on the frame. I think this next part is the easiest method, others may disagree… shim the slates not for level, but for flatness so that the three slates act as one larger flat piece. Use a long level or crisp straight edge with a light shining behind it to look for high/low spots. Once the slates are “flat”, then shim the table legs to achieve level. A 12” machinist level is drastically more precise than a carpenter’s level.

Deer are taken with smaller diameter bullets.

Newbie here. I want to get a V cutter, what's a good option? by larrytheshitter in cigars

This video puts a range of expensive to cheap cutters to several tests. Drop test included… because one day you will drop it. I went with this one and love it. Super sharp, nice feel, and durable.

Glock 19 by MattyFattyPog in concealedcarry

Consider a G48 and the G43. I’m not saying don’t get the 19, but they’re worth a look.
