I just glued up my forearm to the handle. My forearm is close to finish size and my handle is still oversized. Now, I need to drill a new center hole on the handle (tip end) but here's my dilemma - the headstock on my hightower lathe has a 0.002 runout. If I chuck up the forearm there with a...

Thank you all for the replies. Me gets it now :smile:

Hi all, I have a potential seller who gave this description regarding the straightness of the grain on his shaft blank stock. Can someone tell me what this means? Is that good enough or is that not acceptable for good quality shafts? Thanks, Chris

I would be interested in this jig also.

pm sent. thanks.

Here's the link. I think it's a similar technique. I will try it out eventually but you guys may want to experiment with it now. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?t=16781

Wow! Those are nice butterflies. The overlapping butterflies technique is not as difficult as one might imagine. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to undermine the ability of this cuemaker. He is a very skilled craftsman without a doubt. I'll have to post a link to how the overlapping...

Thanks for the responses. I will be purchasing the spur driver and the holder now. :)

I want to get this spur driver to use on my cuesmith deluxe lathe but its #1 MT. http://www.pennstateind.com/store/lcentss11.html Where can I buy a holder for it that has a straight shank? I've been googling for a couple of hours and I couldn't find anything. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Parrafin anyone? Have any of you tried a parrafin solution to seal woods? It's a mixture of parrafin, turpentine and boiled linseed oil. It's suppose to water-proof the wood and protect it up to 20 years. http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/4095/resources/recipes.htm Any opinions? I...

are you guys talking about cuecomponents? I don't understand why you don't just mention it so that anyone else who does not know will be protected from this seller.

Wow! That's fantastic. Anyone here ever heard of or used a free 3D rendering software called "Blender"? I've used it many years ago but I imagine the new version now is more advanced and perfectly capable of rendering pool cue designs.

I got one of those on ebay last year and it did not work for me. For some reason it keeps showing 2% moisture on all of my woods which is obviously wrong. The seller was easy to deal with though and he replaced the item thinking it was defective but still had the same problem so he ended up...

Hi. I'll take it if it is still available. Thanks.

I got mine yesterday. I can't wait to give them a try. Thanks.

Thank you Lee. That's the same technique that Tony said in his pm. It's so simple that I am somewhat embarassed that I could not figure it out. :o I am glad that I asked here first before I set out to create some overly complicated jig for it. :p

Thank you Tony for the pm. :)

Hi all, I would like to get your help regarding gluing mitered veneers. I have been successful at cutting the veneers at 45 degrees using my tablesaw and a digital angle gauge. I got the idea from a post by rhncue (thank you Mr Neighbors). My problem is how to clamp the two mitered veneers...

Besides all that has been mentioned, you can also try Bell Forest products and even Woodcraft if you have a store in your area although it is a bit more expensive and may not be dry enough at woodcraft.

Good idea. I'll try that too. :cool:
