msg too big.... this is 2nd half

The wobble in the lathe center must be the jaws on the chuck. I trued them up and they are dead center but the center still wobbles about 10 thou until I monkey with it and straighten it out. It irks me a little but this is not a $20,000 metal lathe. Don't get me wrong, I think the lathe is super.

I pm'ed the forum moderator to see if we can get a page set up just for cuesmith lathe owners. I think it would be great but I haven't heard from him yet.

stay in touch

My pwr switch only lasted about 2 months. I found a drop in switch on the internet for $7. It is dust proof and no more problems.

I only rough cut both directions. I always cut right to left on finish cuts.

I got an excellent finish on my second cue.... I can give you that info if you like.

I use a 7/32 straight bit for ring billets and buy 1/4 thick pieces from Bellforest. I run the 1/4 inch pieces thru my jointer/planer until they are the correct size. That makes pretty large looking inserts but they come out nice. I will work later on the finer stuff. I am still learning. There are places to buy 1/8 small slabs also.

I believe I will stick to an "all wood" cue that is cored. (except the joint pin) I am just finishing my 3rd cue.

I cut the rings with the cutoff tool. I tried the circular saw but it was a cheap one and cut crap. With the cutoff tool there is more waste but the rings are true and exact.

Hi,

I'm interested in the 4 pointer TS. Can you send me detailled pics of the dings to mroth76@gmail.com and some information regarding shipping to Germany?

Thanks,
Michael
Thanks Man. I think I will save my smoking post and just copy and paste it everytime a new smoking ban thread opens up, as it just a matter of time before the next one pops up. see ya, RJ
cool. a guy asked me specifically if I had two different types of rare cues. Not only did I have both types, but they are pristine for 125+ year old cues AND they came together! But he didn't step up yet. I wasn't trying to sell them but when he asked if I had any, I got to thinking about what I could do for my girlfriend with the money. I will email pics
id love see what you have, i cant promis im gonna buy, but there is a good chance i will, or can help you sell them

my email is

Thanks man, yeah after awhile I was just gettin frustrated repeating myself. Im not even commenting on the thread anymore. its jsut ridiculous that some people don't actaully read and comprehend WHAT they are reading before commenting. Thanks again for actually being one of the few people that TRULY understand. All the best man
Hey Blue Hog, thanks for such a nice comment I appreciate it ! Yea I've loved dogs since I was a little kid ! Animals are the nuts ! I have so many more stories that I'm recording, I'll put them on paper soon. I have to hurry while the people in them are still around :) Your friend, Robert
