Is that a 9 or 10 footer. Does anyone know when they switched to 9 feet

I’ll gladly make a short video of how I replace a tip or discus on phone anything I can help you with. I’m a hobbyist only. I tip for myself/ friends and my clubhouse. I’m not a professional but can get professional results.
If you need a practice cue to work on buy a 2 piece $10-15 cue with a glued tip not a screw on. When you are done with it use it for a bridge or break cue

What size Brunswick Royal Knight are you interested in? You wouldn't happen to be interested in a really nice Brunswick Gold Crown 6 tournament edition in matte black would you?

Simple bench layout with clear side walls and a good motor.

Jim,I can handle all that for you. What size Royal knight?

There are different techniques I used a box cutter blade for the tip radius. I reduce the diameter with the lathe cutting burrs. Did you see any lathes you like? As for shaping. There are tip shapers or you can simply curl a piece of 60-80 grit sandpaper and scuff into a radius of your liking. Once you get a lathe you’ll know what you need as you go along. Lathes are fun. You are not limited to just tips. Watch utube videos to get ideas how to apply/shape a tip. Some are better than others.
I will look for what I think are good videos. First thing is safety each and every time. Eye and ear protection. I good quality dust extractor. No jewelry. Loose clothes. Long hair. A lathe does not stop turning if it catches you. And remember to remove the chuck key before turning on.

Learn by doing. Use cheap dowels and junk cues. . Get started. You will gain experience every time you work on a tip. Never mind how it looks at first. Getting started and doing is the teacher.
