Olaf, it took me a bit of time to be convinced that what you had made was both of excellent quality and necessary - I now know the answer to both - YES great quality and YES necessary to do a consistent job of putting the tip on the ferrule and having everything centered - great product - would...

Mike, I can't thank you enough for taking the interest in helping to better describe the process. All too often new customers make assumptions about what should or should not happen in ordering that first custom cue - so outlining your experience is/should be very helpful to all - IMO. While...

G-10 Pin The Pin I had made was actually a 5/16 X 10 thread pin and it was NOT a Radial configuration . . . it was in fact a "sine wave" . . . I had the pin made in Stainless Steel first and then had diamond tooling made to cut the pin configuration in G-10 . . . I referred to this a a MAXX...

WOW, I can hardly believe that with all the people involved in cuemaking out there that not ONE person has the $$ for a set up that was over $20k when new . . . Believe me if I had the room I would buy it just to make parts . . . and frankly I may do just that - ha pfd

"SHADOWMOSS" (his AZ name) has undoubtedly the very best Ash for shafts - he was at the Hopkins Show this year with several bundles of 1" squares . . . send him a message I am sure he can provide you with what you are looking for. pfd

I should also mention that I have longer Techno Isel linear rails and bearing blocks of the same vintage/style together with rolled ball screw(s) and nut assembly, that could be used to modify this machine to provide 29.5" of travel . . . this would, of course, require longer aluminum extruded...

Local business, here in Connecticut, is selling a complete Servo Motor Techno Isel 3 Axis Gantry Mill with Gibbs Production Milling software Package for $5,500.00 . . . X & Y travel is 19.6" X 21.2" - Z travel = 6.8" Comes with 600 watt variable high speed spindle (800 to 24,000 RPM) includes...

The P3 weight bolt kits are available direct from many of the Predator dealers - try SEYBERTS pfd

Spain blank Q I showed one of the cues where I left part of the splice showing to Burton and ask if he would make a matching blank well oversized that could be cut up and used for a buttsleeve - and have a leftover short veneer front for a matching jump handle. Burton loved the idea and we...

Johnny Archer & pool I have know Johnny for 20+ years and have followed his career from his high school days, into his pro career, and have spent time with him at overseas tournament events as well, in all that time I have never found Johnny to me less than a perfect gentleman, honest in all...

Cochran Qs Undoubtedly the finest collection of Cochran's - super that they are together to be photographed for all to see. pfd

IT was and IS a FAKE Yes, there are telltale signs that Tim and or Mike did NOT make the cue in question - I for one spotted them - but to detail what those are is not likely to happen in public - why give the counterfeiters the information on how 'they' screwed up - so that next time they can...

No way I find it hard to believe that Tim would not remember IF he and or Mike went thru all the trouble to build ALL the fixtures necessary to do a complete full spliced cue in their shop. TO which the answer is a very definite "NO that never happened" - a direct quote from Tim in my...

NO problem - glad to help - good luck with the auction - super value for the price. Paul (pfd Studios)

Good question Chris. I suspect that perhaps the shaft may not be the one that was originally delivered with the cue - or the ferrule was changed/replaced. Typically I make all my ferrules one (1) inch - and judging by the Ivory joint, which I am certain is one (1) inch, the ferrule is shorter...

I appreciate all the kind words Charlie. You are correct, I would have NO problem with building a Titlist cue to the customers specifications, to me that is what "custom" cuemaking is all about. AND, yes the spear points at the tips of the veneers on the cue in question were clearly there to...

I was under the impression that U-Tube limited the "runtime" of any one video - which is why the video that was uploaded was so brief . . . so the question is - if I get the whole edited video and it is approximately 15 minutes would it all get viewed ?? pfd

Complete Video For those interested please send a PM and I will try to get a copy of the full 15 minutes of the video that the TV station aired - not sure exactly how to make it available - other than producing actual tape or DVD copies . . . suggestions ?? - pfd

Thanks ALL for the kind words. The video was originally produced by a local TV channel for a program called "Making It Here". They distilled over 2 hours of interview down to 15 minutes - of which you see approximately 5 that got posted on U-Tube. It was a great experience and one that both...
