Here you go, Mike. Bobcad V24 Preferences - Settings Part vs. Settings Default I timestamped your request, but don't sleep on the rest of the video; you can learn some great features that very few cuemakers even know are possible in ≈5 minutes. Hiding unused toolbars, custom toolbars and...

For Abe's fans, I took this picture shortly before the sign came down. I can't help but wonder if it was the original sign from the 70's.

Hope this helps somebody. I sure enjoyed them when he first posted them.

Whew... there were a lot of pictures in Darrin's post!

Progress!

Let's see if I can get these to attach.... The fullsplice, there is allot to be said about the fullsplice cue. I think of it like a classic muscle car. It looks good and it's very tough. Building a fullsplice cue is no easy task, as it took me years to learn the methods used. I am going to take...

Your video of the sewing machine motor install on your Hightower is down. Can you repost?

Why would you think it is like particle wood? I don't have time to reach out to McDermott, but suggest you call to ask them about the wood in their cues. There are a ton of woods out there with generic, non-scientific names, and this tends to muddy the waters. That said, a quick Google Search...

They look nice- good luck with the sale.

Great work and beautiful cue, Mike. In my opinion, describing that figure as "beeswing" does not do that outstanding piece of curly narra justice.

Soft Limits One more thing- don't forget to set your soft limits.

Any luck tracking down the issue? A loose set screw on the timing pulley could to it, just like backlash. On the first rotation it is taking up the space between the screw & the flat on the shaft. After that it the axis keeps moving forward the correct amount since that gap has been eliminated.
