I have spools of nylon wrapping material. This was part of my purchase when Dufferin went out of business here in Canada. It seems a little thinner than the linen wrap. I do have it in the colours you want.

Its fairly easy to do but you will probably lose about 1/2" of shaft length. The shaft will have to be cut where the ferrule and shaft meet. The hole can now be drilled. You then have to make a tenon about 1/2" long out of the shaft. Put your ferrule on the new tenon. This is how the...

I would trade you a new Bunjee jump/break for it.

The ones that I am building are: 10mm tip Elk or Blue Diamond Phenolic ferrule (to reduce weight and deflection) 58 inches total length 50/50 1.125 to 1.150 butt diameter Weight 17 to 18 oz. Constant taper from butt to tip

I use a 11/16 to core. I just like that little extra bit of wood around the core when the cue is finished.

Dufferin used to make a pretty basic cue for Brunswick and they told me it was Morado. I have used it in making jump cues.

I have a new but in the wood one that I would be willing to send you. Just e-mail me your address.

There are 16 laminates per inch.

I still have a bunch of the ones I bought from Dufferin a few years ago. A number of the AZers have bought them but primarily for dowels. I know a couple were using them for break cue shafts but I know of none that thought they were acceptable for regular shafts.

Dick, I balance it with the bumper on but measure it without. Just the way I do it.

It is measured with the shaft on the butt. I just balance it on my finger and then measure the distance from the butt (not including the bumper) to my finger. Typically between 18.5 and 19.5 inches.

Yes it is. Both would have to be redrilled and one end plugged but any competent cue maker could do it.

Here is one I put together a few years ago. It is my player and hits great. I did have to add a little weight to it but it is now 19.3 oz. Walnut with curly maple points and a natural stack wrap.

Thanks KJ. I will try boring the originals and see how I make out.

Does anyone know where I can get these?? I primarily need the insert.

I use automotive clear to repair chips. I have a couple small bottles that I use to mix up small portions and fill the chip. The sooner you do this after the chip the better as dirt in the chip can effect the results. You may have to fill it a couple times until it is just higher than the...

I use 1500 also.

I do them all the time and the vast majority are just a .250 tenon with a phenolic press fit ferrule. They stand up great (for snooker) and hit nice.

Probaby Nelsonite. This can happen if the shaft doesn't have enough time to mellow the odour. You will find if you leave it out of the case for a few weeks that it will go away but it can be pretty strong.

It also matters how you are preparing the tips. If the problem is with Mooris it is probably because the glue is soaking in after you sand the backs and not leaving enough glue on the surface. I find Moori are the worst for this. Put one coat of glue on and let it dry for a minute and then...
