K-rest

[moglet]

Phew!

I'll settle for that. Did the foam handle come off? It should have been glued!

Steve (?), since you exposed yourself, I have one of your rests. It works well, but I have to say that the fuzzy foam rubber "handle" is a nuisance in that it makes the most unholy mess of the table cloth unless you are extremely careful to place it down and lift it off (I'm tempted to try using this material to "block" the cloth before ironing!). Mine was not glued and I removed it - no longer a problem. Perhaps a woody or smooth handle?

Best wishes to you.

no no it was all fine and we are now playing pass the parcel with it so anyone who wants to try it from the forum let me know it will just cost you one set of postage i.e £2.38.

Ben(?) There was a small batch of fuzzy handles. Perhaps you got one of those. If you'd like to try a smoother handle (still foam), PM your address and I'll send you one.

The foam handle was only meant for prototypes but it turned out to be better at preventing movement, so it stuck. (Literally in your case.)

i would take the foam off and strap it in leather the way you did with bike handles as a kid!

You must be from a good background. We had to make do with insulation tape, and blisters. Interesting idea though; like a tennis racquet perhaps.

[ADR147]

well mate you have spoken to me do i sound like your typical scot?

I learned that trick myself redoing the steering wheel on an aston but i didn't want to sound too posh!

[stegorjus]

Shouldn't one's staff undertake such tasks. It would be simply unforgivable to roughen one's fingertips to such an extent that one might be considered a manual worker.

[ADR147]

really looking after ones vintage aston is the only exercise one gets, you just can get the staff these days.

(actually i have a friend who owns an aston and when its dirty he takes it back to the factory for a clean and polish!)

this rest is now on ebay with no reserve - might be a bargin for somebody!

I might have a bid on that myself Andrew. Do you know how much they cost to make?

I see you're still taking credit for my perfectly controlled cue-action on the GIFs. "Far from great player" eh?

[ADR147]

lol i am too lazy to change it! - it has 13 watchers so far so it will sell for a decent price i think - just an idea to put the item in the public eye. it should be at the bottom of the listing for the expensive cues!

[Semih_Sayginer]

sell "well" then?

[ADR147]

sold a few not many - mostly not in the uk actually.

[stegorjus]

That's the same for me. There's a steady trickle, mostly outside the UK. In fact one of ADR's customers in Japan came back and immediately bought 3 heads off me. Sorry ADR, first you know about that! It really needs some investment in marketing but the patent agent seems to get most of the available funds. The real job keeps me busy too.

Do you want to try one Semih?

[ADR147]

no problem mate.

i think it will catch on eventually - its a good idea.
