Jake,
It was great to meet you at the ICCS.
1. What part(s) of the cue building process do you like most and least? i.e. designing, experimenting, building new fixtures, machining, finishing, the finished product, etc.
2. What were the highlights and lowlights of the ICCS for you?
3. What do you want to be remembered for within the cue world in 30 years?
4. What is your wing-spanned? (inside joke related to Eddie Wheat)
Thanks for taking time to answer our questions.
Scott
Scott....was good to meet you too. Finally
1. I like making the blank "butt" This is the part where i get to see the concept come to life and is really rewarding. Really just being able to turn a plain block of wood into something un-imaginable. I'll run in the house and wake up my wife at 2 in the morning to show her. Crazy thing is, she'll always wake up and act interested!
I pretty much tolerate everything after that!
2. The ICCS was great, People were great and the response to the cue was more than i could have hoped for. I had this huge fear that I would be the un-accepted new guy which wasnt the case at all.
The lowlights were not really low but just from being overwhelmed, I feel like i missed something or someone, etc.
3. I'm not entirely sure. I can tell you that it used to be to establish a name like Bushka. After seeing what i've seen and meeting the folks i've met, i think it would be better to leave behind some type of legacy of friendships, mentoring, inspiration etc. That would mean that i get to experience all that stuff now, while i'm alive. If my cues are coveted when i'm done and gone then thats a bonus.
4. All you need to know is its long enough to bitch slap yo ass from Dallas to Atlanta
