Yes,Koinnkid,fair prices & won't stick it to you on shipping. Wayde

Yes the finish runs on the face of the joint caused my cue to not roll straight also, this should be finishing 101.

What I did was bought an inexpensive Cuetec sneaky and put on a phenolic ferule and a good break tip and for onder a 100$ you got a pretty good break cue. Wayde

Thanks Dick I'll have to giv it a try. Wayde

Don't mean to hijack your thread but, what do you use on your grinder Dick.Thanks Wayde

The tina blade is about 8"long many sharpenings.Gerber makes a nice utility blade holder that I somtimes use but I usualy just bare blade it.

DON'T use bleach,fast orange hand cleaner with pumice and a paper towel with the grain changing out the towel as it gets dirty,use a magic eraser on the final scrub if tou want ,but not realy needed,let dry a while, the grain will be raised a bit,knock it down with 400 then 600 and 1000 sand...

Recieved my cue from Mr. Prulhiere on friday,sorry no pics,2 weeks later than stated,understandable with the holidays,not a big deal.The weight was 2oz heavier than I wanted, still not a problem I changed the weight as I work on cues as a sideline.The shaft is a a billiard taper which I don't...

just a quick thought,you might try using plasti-dip, used for tool handles and make your own,I was going to try this at one point but made a few leather ones instead.Good luck with your project,the worst that can happen is you spend some quality time with your son. Wayde

A good alchohol leather dye such as Feibings works well for me,sealing the wrap groove well is good insurance and do not flood the wrap with the dye, you run the risk of the dye creeping along the grain under the finish. Good luck, Wayde

just a quick thought, if you use a headless bolt and only install it part way in the hole, it could pull the threads.Once you find the position you want,either glue the bolt in place or bottom it out against a suitable length of dowel,jmho

GEBrown, no offense taken, as that is exactly what I told him!

The free black or red one will most likely be a fiber pad and not the correct carbon fiber pad get them from OB. Wayde

If you want alcohol minus the water go to the hardware store paint section and get denatured alcohol,and yes amonia works well.

A good high quality blade with teeth that are ground such as a timberwolf and not stamped will help with blade drift.Also if your machine is a small one the frame is probably not stiff enough to properly tension a 1/2" blade.
