You can skip your turn if you want, just like stop commenting on this same thread if you want, no problem with that. I'd much rather have no answers than off-topic answers, that way it doesn't mess up the thread and the thread doesn't take a divergent path.
Really? Who?
I will come back a bit later with some names, I'm working at my pool room, changing pocket angle, 256 end rail to do.
I wondered about using something like balsa wood in the front-end. Maybe an experiment in the making...for a Cue-Maker.
Have at it!
It's been done.I wondered about using something like balsa wood in the front-end. Maybe an experiment in the making...for a Cue-Maker.
A friend of mine who is starting have order tubes from China at two place and they arrived with extra hard foam, he is not even able to cut a piece of foam with an exacto knife. I work with Smooth On flexible foam and 0.7mm thick tubes, thicker than 0.8mm is crap in terms of deflection.
I have tried balsa wood and maple tennon. I think meucci's CF offerings all use a maple tennon. Works fine, but an inverted ferrule is a more practical design imo. Though I have had customers asking for long ferrules 1/2" and 3/4" and then a wood tennon and a traditional threaded ferrule makes more sense.I wondered about using something like balsa wood in the front-end.

This is the reason most cue makers don't post here anymore. Someone wants to to be spoon fed free information, without earning it, no skin in the game, then get pissy if the answer isn't spelled out, step by step. I've said it a hundred times...the internet is the worst thing to happen to cue making.
Nah, it's the portable lathe. lol j/k
Sounds like you already HAD the answer to your original question .
The truth is that I asked a specific question and only people with good experience in carbon could answer, but here among those commenting, no one has much experience in carbon and that's reality. If I didn't have the right to think that someone here had experienced this and to ask the question, that's your problem, the problem of the little band of little friends here who ensure that many experts don't do not or no longer post here. I post in several places here on the forum and have no problems anywhere. I can give you some details on carbon, anyone using 1mm thick tubes and expecting to do low deflection is completely off track, a 0.8mm thick tube is pretty strong and even 0 .7mm to do the job, which will result in a significantly lighter final mass. And for your information, if you had emptied your shaft over the first 6 inches you would have noticed a good difference in deflection. Smooth On is one of the best foam companies and they sell flexible and hard which is very hard, the salesman told me many use hard for carbon shafts, I have always used flexible, I will testing between the 2 by myself and later, because I don't have time for that. There are certainly more than one who have done these tests, some will share their experience and others not, in any case if the thread has allowed certain carbon enthusiasts to learn certain things that is so much the better. When I ask a question about a Mustang and a guy tells me how his Camaro is, my attitude can change very quickly.
Actually, Kim Bye does.
When you ask a question, you don't get an answer saying: try it for yourself. Having tried one has no relation to comparing 2 different ones. As for Kim Bye, he mentioned that he preferred 1MM thick tubes and that his customers preferred tubes filled completely, which confirms that he is far from being a specialist in this field, a 1MM tube filled to its entire length is definitely crap regarding the most important thing, deflection. Kim Bye tries to impress, but this is only valid for small beginners, he is good at diverting threads, he is super egocentric, this is not the first time I have noticed it and even on other of my threads. He's an expert at wasting your time and writing for nothing, maybe that will help you understand my reaction to him.
They were answering and I was trying to learn because I don't have experience in CF but you got ugly.
I wouldn't have commented if you allowed or questioned their answers in a more civilized way. I personally don't know the other posters beyond this forum.
You have had this similar problem on the table mechanics thread in the past. You contributed it to a language barrier and was given a pass.
You seem to know a lot already about CF so a civilized conversation would have helped so many more of us and you may have been able to finesse the answer you wanted.
I'm pretty sure no camero guys searching mustang websites to put in their two cents. But if you asked about a brake pad problem and they talk about the master cylinder, it doesn't mean it's not related to your problem.
also true
Good post Kim.
