Worst Cue by a Revered Builder.

[R2PQZ]

I was given a set of VHS tapes on cue building years ago. They sold for $100 each at the time. I learned how not to build cues watching them. Well known cuemaker who passed away awhile back. A joint was assembled using toilet paper and epoxy. While doing a leather wrap he cut his finger with a razor blade. Blood everywhere. Rather than redo the video, he continued and did a poor job on the seam. Never saw one of his cues in person.

Are we children? It doesn’t meet your expectations of paying 2-3k plus? I swear this site has lost any intelligence. Honestly my knowledge isn’t worth even posting to morons, who could care less about history, collectors, builders and the rest of what makes us non predator players appreciate our tools! Last post, I’m out.

well


bye

Well, I guess now we know why he had to try to sell cue making videos, in order to make money. Because his cues that he did build may have had a horrible rep, or did not sell.

Ed or Eddie Wheat was not super Cue builder, by screwed many people.

He also offered classes at his cueniversity. He had students, but none of them would probably not admit it.

We are similar……I also use crushed red pepper flakes on a steak when I grill it, for scrambled eggs, chili.
I’ll open a can of Bush’s Baked Beans (Brown Sugar Hickory version), add diced Jalapeño peppers and
hot sausage links sliced in cubes & slow simmer cook it. This turns a can of baked beans into a quick meal.

Yummy

That wasn’t Perry, that was the components resale hack in FL, always claimed oem tips and real original Micarta that were poor knockoffs! I think that guy ruined layered tips for anyone who replaced a Triangle or Water Buffalo. yeah, I’m back. Can’t get enough of the peanut gallery, but enjoy the guys/gals who do give a sake about our sport that is dying by the day. The more custom cue builders we lose and don’t appreciate, the quicker, it will come. I love a nice 9 foot diamond, but give me a coin operated bar box in my basement w decent lighting and a cue I’d dream about first.
