Wanted: Unique's Wrap Magic Fixture

[Canadian cue]

A friend of mine told me this story.
A good player from Arizona sent Ernie a cue to be wrapped.
When they got there the wrap wasn't even started yet.
Ernie tells the owner he'll do the wrap then.
He took them to his lathe with a jig.
Two claws come out of the jig, one marks the bottom shoulder and the other the top.
Ernie locks them from travelling up and down the ways then puts them down.
He said they looked like talons.
Ernie glues the wrap , top and bottom.
Whips out the two talons and cuts the bottom and top dead nuts.
Straight edge comes down and he cuts the middle seam.
All in 10 minutes according to my friend.
Ernies uses some black glue he said.

I tried mounting roller cutters on my lathe. It can cut the middle seam fine but the shoulders are the tricky part .

Unique is a fine jig.

Thanks Joey, I wonder how he cuts the shoulders while the wrap is on and not touch the finished edge of the wrap section? I noticed that he always has a pressed groove near the end of the wrap. Maybe there is a purpose for those grooves other than aesthetics? just a thought

Can the buyer of the DVD sell it to me when he is done watching it?...I want to take a look aswell.

I can send you the DVD if you send it back when you are done watching it.

I believe two bearings press on the leather while he cuts the top and bottom seams. My friend did not notice that.
Ernie is a genius so it wouldn't surprise me if he hates taping the leather while cutting.
Sorry to the TS for hijacking this thread btw .
But, any knowledge learned here, I'm sure he'll appreciate.

Scroll down to see the DeAngelo wrap fixture in action.
Not a whole lot of difference in the two jigs and certainly the wrap install is the same for both jigs.
