the only way i do is pin in the butt. my shafts have a constant taper [ very stiff ]. after i receive the butt the job will be done in 2 weeks. thank you chuck

I see you put more pins in the butt, do you also do the pins in the shaft? Leaning towards that question, Yes I was thinking the same the laminated shafts wouldn't be strong enough and I was thinking having the pin on the shaft may help it a bit to hold its strength than a 1/2 inch hole in the shaft.

The shafts your refering to is there any taper or straight cone on the shaft? I never tried it without a ferrule.

Also I understand the time frame to do any cues perfection completion, do you have a TBA how long it would take for this project to complete?

Thanks, Viet.

You will hear from me in Mid August. There will be 2 cues to be made for that matter.

Hi always nice to have new requests especially as I am new here

i would have to see the butt to make sure, but i almost sure i could do the job. i have both ob-1's , predator's and 8 piece pie shaped laminated shafts, also flat laminated. most of the laminated shafts are not strong enough for the 1/2 inch wood pin. i would recommend using a old growth, 75 year old shaft with high ring count. they are very dense and make a great playing shaft. i would also recommend for a lower deflection style shaft go with the no ferrule. a old growth shaft would cost $100.00 and the pin in the butt would $35.00 so your total cost for setting up the cue would be 135.00 plus shipping.

You need to read the rules be for you post... YOU ARE NEW AND DOGING SOME ONES FOR SALE THREAD. I HOPE YOU STAY RED.... FOLLOW THE RULES OR GO A WAY... Guess the door got left up again

How much do you charge in putting in the wooden thread for male and female? I will be getting a butt end with no joint work, and a OB Classic partial shaft. Have you done any shafts that are laminated?.. Thanks. Viet

Troy - please empty your PMs, so I can send you a message and order some tips.

Hi Bill! Jackie here, Ritch's wife. I just want to thank you for all the support and positive comments. You know you're like a best friend to us and I want to tell you something although this is kinda personal. I just feel bad that someone here in Az Billiards who has joined 4 months ago and has 4 whole posts keeps on underestimating Ritch's work. He is following every post that we have here then he would post very annoying comments. I just feel bad for my husband although I appreciate Ritch's character. I asked him what does he feel about it and he said.. "nothing, I'm not gonna ruin my name that I've invested in AzBilliards for 10 years because of that guy's critisism. I'm not gonna put down my level just to raise his."
Hmmm... somehow I learned and somehow as a wife, I want him to know that I got his back.

Don't worry to much, AZ is about a fickle a forum as it gets. That's why I don't post a whole lot here. I think sometimes the only like something only if their friends like it. The feedback here locally, was incredible. It really is a georgeous cue...

Paul did I put something wrong in the pictures of the cue. On both post there have been no remarks about it. how can someone not think it is beautiful and make a remark.
