Yeah this is a good idea. Plus the ability to mount in/on/around different table lighting.

Why do you constantly inject yourself where it’s not wanted.

I’m not reading 28 pages. Can someone summarize for me.

When I worked at a billiard supply place 30 something years ago these were an affordably priced cue that sold well and held up decently.

As someone who plays instruments regularly I think vibrational feedback is a good thing. The longer you play with that cue the more it will tell you. I think deadening it takes away what will make it your own unique instrument and the very thing people bond with. Feedback can tell you so much...

If the warp in near the joint and you re-taper it you will likely end up having to cut on the shaft to match it up. Most minor runout doesn't matter nearly as much as people think it does. Have you actually confirmed that its warped in the butt? Could be a slight lift at the joint and they...

Temu? Is it even carbon fiber? I would be worried that it’s just plastic with a printed carbon fiber image wrapped around it.

Probably the same suppliers the rest of us can buy carbon fiber parts to build a shaft. That or a cheap Asian wholesaler most likely. Materials are around 120 bucks. Then a bit of labor. Way less than a maple shaft that’s for sure.

I use a narrow attachment on my air compressor and blow this stuff out. Then wipe it with mineral spirits and blow it out again. I used a modified basketball needle with the end snipped off until someone walked off with it. Been meaning to make another one but a tiny cone attachment works well.

I like that idea. I always like your videos.

I would stabilize all burls. You don’t know what lies beneath the first few cuts deep in the middle. Could have a nasty void or some rot. I’ve seen too many clean pieces get nasty deep inside. Stabilizing helps hold those bad ones together for coring.

Looks fantastic. Every time I click one of your threads I know I’m going to see something unique and innovative.

I do stabilizing. Been doing it for some years now. If you haven't found anyone PM to discuss.

Stunning

H He and you both wouldn’t have come into the thread whining if you didn’t.
