converting one-piece house cue to two-piece for travel

[azhousepro]

So you think the rules are selective? Calling names goes well with you cute purple pumps, my dear.

OK, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I think we've all read enough.

Does there need to be "rage"?
I only offered that as information ... not as solicitation.

Is there a difference?

Mario, I think there is.
I realize I should have sent that information in a PM.
But at the time I typed it in not to solicit sales but to provide some baseline to the original poster.

If it is any consolation to anyone ... no one called flooding me with Sneaky Pete orders.
In fact I dont really like to make a cue by order.
I much prefer to build what I want and like and then eventually offer that to local players.
It would shock you as to what I sell my custom cues for here in Corpus Christi.
See I can learn ... I did not give a price.
There is a fella here on this forum that got a beautiful Palmer tribute cue for nothing.
That was the last time I ever said "just send me what you think it is worth" ... ...

I wish I could be surprised but I'm not. It's a shame too. You did a great job and got no appreciation or respect from a scumbag who thinks he's a somebody.

Perhaps he was impaled by those sharp points? Very nice looking cue Willie!

Seems like maybe a prior poster came back incognito.
Seemed to pick on a few out the gate like he / she may have had prior issues.

Hopefully if returns will chill a bit.

My guess was Joe....

They are mostly too thin in the middle for me.
I usually extend the bottom to get at least an .840" joint size .
I know of a local maker who made a ton of sneakies at less than .800" joint.


It might be a sneaky, but it will still have your name on it .
And when that sneaky gets flipped, the flipper might claim the shaft is a custom shaft from you.

Was there ever a "standard" on the old Brunswick Willie Hoppe 2-piece cues?

I've seen quite a few of them with joints that were around .800, or less.

Very true.

You cannot get hurt doing this. I am guilty of having a custom pen made... The turner put a lot of work into it .... but it's not what I had in mind. I did pay for it but do not love it. If I make something to sell, donate it's not by special order...
