    Source for cf shaft blanks

    Some us stock here and there but I believe there all coming from china, pick a bigger company if your planning to buy a lot. Cost Xtra but I sent them all the specs and taper length I wanted and they built them to it. THe blanks Prathers sells is also nice

    Bye bye spare bedroom, Hello 12×28 (shop)

    As just said separate compressor and dust collector from you. The noise they make is extremely loud and annoying in small spaces

    Custom Joint Protectors

    Tony Layne has made some of the nicest ones I've seen. His finish and detail is incredible

    How much clearance?

    Mine have no play but definitely not tight, gotta have some room for epoxy and I cut a few glue lines also. Sand and clean clean clean the inside of shaft

    Looking for inlay brass plates

    I recently picked one up. I used the smallest bit I could find for some tests, they came out pretty well but boy was I working slow to manage it. I've been asking around to see who has a CNC to cut some for me. I tried a small CNC and just can't get a grasp on it. Maybe some day I'll meet...

    Predator 314-3 silencer pad question

    What is that silencer pad material, looks familiar. I'm sure it's top secret but seems few things are made just for cues, usually something is used elsewhere and gets introduced into cues

    Carbon Break Butt Internal?

    Just have to make up different plugs from different materials and throw everything on a scale and see what you get, adjust with different materials if lite or heavy

    Spectraply, Dymondwood alternative?

    Figured..... I tapped a 3/8x10 into a shaft and didn't like the way it felt, seemed soft. I ended up putting a purple heart plug in it, feels a lot better

    Spectraply, Dymondwood alternative?

    Been awhile but did that spectra ply hold up?

    Gun drills for sale

    Assuming it fits your chuck, I would think one could plug the end and drill/tap a side hole fairly easy

    Lathe lubricant

    I have a bottle of sewing machine oil, not sure where it came from but it's convenient. I try to keep it as dry as possible everywhere without wearing obviously, clean up is a lot easier that way. Wood dust packs up tight

    Hey..be careful

    Really be bad if a high dollar cue was spinning while it happened 😳 Mine are bolted down and the not very wide tables screwed to the wall. I had a visual of a cue spinning and things falling over, no way of grabbing it unless you want twisted up LoL

    Tip lathe

    Yeah really anything will do as long as its not doing damage. I've seen just a v shaped piece of wood covered in a towel for the shaft to rest on while spinning 🤷🏻‍♂️ Probably rare but might pick one up or a much better one on market place for real cheap
