    LTF a case

    this moves fast... That would have to be a lot cheaper than $200. :D Also, I do not want to look like a plumber that got lost when I enter the pool hall, because my hustling days are over -- I got a real job now.

    LTF a case

    I would like to buy a tube style hard case that would hold a 32" butt for a cue I built for Russian Pyramid. Do not like that wood stuff. Do not care if 1x2 or 2x4 or anything in between. Nothing fancy, as far as any decorations go. Would like it in a nice condition, but it does not have to...

    WARNING! My new lathe from Anthony -- eastpoint cues

    stop kicking me! :D In my defense, and the reason I feel I need to defend my decision is that most posts here sound like: "I told you so, and you did not listen", or "You should not have done this, but that instead", -- I am not in a business of making pool cues. Nor will I ever be. If I...

    WARNING! My new lathe from Anthony -- eastpoint cues

    Interesting enough, I got an email from Anthony today. He offered $150 so I can buy the powerfeed from Chris. This is what I am going to do. He says I need to drill one hole for the bracket. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit when he stopped responding to my emails. Said that kids broke his PC...

    WARNING! My new lathe from Anthony -- eastpoint cues

    I would like to share the information about my transaction with Anthony (Anthony Gatto) d/b/a Eastpoint Cues. Some time in May or June -- do not remember right, but can check, I ordered a custom cue lathe from Anthony. He seemed like a nice guy, and he did have the cheapest price. That was...

    Finally A Full Cue Building Lathe

    and sutures sometimes... (on Sunday, accidentally touched my finger to the edge of a sand belt when adjusting the knob -- almost took half of my finger off) or, a new watch (badly nicked my seamaster because I forgot to take it off and came too close to the chucks of a big engine lathe)...

    stiffest and most solid cue that you've hit with???

    I am not an expert, but I have built some butterfly cues for Russian Pyramid and have hit with some cues over the years... Aside from one very expensive Russian pyramid cue, I would have to list Richard Black "After Six" from 1980's and Abe Rich cues. Both cues are stiff and solid -- too much...

    Drawing The Cueball

    How do you hold the cue? If you grab it and hold it tight, it could produce this result... Got to let the cue do all the work. If you hit between the center of the ball and the cloth, and hold the cue level and lightly with your thumb and index finger and hit "through the ball" you almost...
