When will you have butt size material in stock?

Thanks. I’m actually hoping to get 3/8x10 modified. I appreciate you sharing

I think I’m going to finally buy a set of Mandrels…. After hours of trying to get joints perfect, I want to buy a set. Who’s selling them these days?

Question for y’all…. I ordered a Hightower QCTP this morning. Was size lathe bits can the holder hold?

It definitely works

This may be a dumb question, but I figured I’d ask before making a dumb mistake. Like I mentioned before, I’m new to cue building so I’m in the learning stages. When processing the wood from 1.5” turning square down, what sizes should the butt sections be when you assemble a forearm to handle...

Oh I gotcha…. You’re saying so there is small clearance between the joint pin and the face. That way when you face off the joint you don’t hit the pin

I took everyone’s advice and here was todays attempt…. It looks better to me

That’s a great article. Thanks for sharing

Really? Everything I have ever researched is saying for 3/8-10 tap, use 5/16 drill bit….

Center drill, 5/16 drill bit in tailstock drill to depth, tap in tailstock, run the tap in by spinning shaft

It’s a 3/8-10 tap. It’s hard to get a picture to focus and flash down in the hole

Clear picture

Hey everyone, I’m new to the cue building world, and I’m practicing drilling and tapping for joint pin installs. I’m just curious how clean do the threads actually look when tapping say a 3/8x10 pin. I did one and the pin threads in fine, just want to make sure they are “good to go”. Thanks...

If I can give any advice, it’s well worth the money it cost. So just buy it directly from Chris. You won’t regret it. Then you will understand why we aren’t getting rid of them.
