How odd. I remember that as well.

You use clear lead paint.

Well, I was going to advise you to Alex Brick. Maybe you've heard of him.

Given that 5/16 is 0.3125 and the parallax shift in the pic makes it hard to determine exactly how many threads/inch exist combined with the similarity to the threaded rod I own, isn't it slightly possible it is 5/16-14 ? After looking again, there's no way, so never mind.

I think the cue ball actually weighs closer to the 6 oz neighborhood. Anyway, one of Newton's laws states that for every force action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Hitting the cue ball off center still sends it in roughly the direction the cue stick is pointed, but it squirts off...

Finished diameter x3.14159 = finished circumference. Divide that up according to how many parts are being installed. See Chris's formula to determine if the bases/cavities will run into each other.

I am compelled to anwer "hide glue". Thank you for understanding.

If you don't have some sort of experience and/or training in wood working, material properties (metals, composites/plastics, and wood), adhesives, finishing, and a strong grasp on logic and problem solving, it's going to be a long challenging road.

I used to call bullshit on them. As embarrassing as it is, they work very well.

Glue vs grade schoolers? There is no such glue.

A near cousin to that is the tip that spins the ball without having to hit off center. As if that is a good thing too.

I finally remembered one that hasn't been mentioned. "Good cues have finish all the way to the ferrule."

PH absorbs less energy. A smooth stroke is a function of your arm, not a shaft's weight.

Glad you're alright Dave. I look at routers like they are light sabers.

It can't be worse than what it is already. Try it and let us know.

I've used plenty of Watco, but never quite like this. Do you let it sit for days first or is the CA applied in short order? I played with corn oil and CA way back, but never did go back to it. Too many toys and finishes to play with at the time.

As advised, I used advanced inspection equipment (pliers) on the ferrule and it did turn just as foretold. The buzz disappeared and stayed gone after the new ferrule was installed. Thanks for the guidance and motivation guys.

Most Meuccis have finish applied over the linen.

Who can prove the ferrule is the original work?

I have a personal cue that I break with which has a phenolic ferrule/tip that recently developed a loud buzz in the shaft that is audible with the shaft removed and tapped in any location. The sound propagates through the entire shaft. When you tap the tip, it sounds the same as when you tap the...
