I bought one of these a few years ago and it works fine. Just be sure to place a piece of rubber tubing over the shaft before you set it in the rollers to prevent marks. I mounted mine on some wood with steel runners.

There isn't as many videos on doing it by hand as most are done with a lathe.
This one done by Seyberts is in my opinion, one of the best.
Its done with pretty basic but decent and cheap tools by Joe Porper.
Many guys start out by hand tipping their own cues and progress from there to lathes.

I bought that same thing a few years ago. I found out about those black wheels the hard way, so I replaced them with some wide gummy skate board wheels. never had that problem again. Of course, not being as clever as some of you all, a little later on I purchased an actual lathe. I would have been wise to do that from the start.
Lots of guys find out the hard way with those little black wheels.
Looks like you made a nice rest for yours as well.
For someone that wants to take it one step further than a hand tip, these lathes can do the job for a tip or shaft maintenance. And if that is all you're using it for is your personal cues, that is all you need.

Yeah, just my own stuff. I don't play out much either. I play occasionally on my own table. I trust myself on this mickey mouse lathe more than half the pool hall people that don't give a crap to be careful regardless.
I made a couple of those cane tip arbors for Dufferins and Cue Tecs that I didn't have a maintenance arbor for.
Once you get the shaft settled in there proper, they spin pretty darn straight and good enuff to do a shaft clean with.
Makes an inexpensive sanding lathe too and if a person really wanted to, you could put a water poly finish on a cue with it.
I mean, you wouldn't be doing an epoxy finish on it but you could certainly wipe on a poly finish with it.
