    What Areas Give You The Most Trouble

    I'd like to procrastinate a little less. I've got cue's that are in different stages that were started over a year ago. Between work, yard/garden, and running a poker game two nights a week, I'll opt most times to take a nap instead of work on cues. If I ever get to the shop, I'm good for...

    The Future for American Cue Makers ...?

    Foreign made cues are here to stay. A person could make a stand and refuse to work on the cues but that will only create more competition. Somebody would step up and become a "foreign cue" specialist and make more money than the guy that's doing the boycott. I do enjoy watching someone that just...

    Viking repair

    I'd bet that most of the noise was coming more from the hollow ferrule than from the crack.

    Mully's 3x6 ProLite

    I was wondering. Is Mully your name or is it some kind of a nickname. When I was in Japan, my Japanese friends all called me Debu.(translated to redneck english= lard ass):D

    Help on purchasing first lathe

    I don't know how much money you have to spend, so I can't give you an opinion on which machine I think would be best for you. I would recommend starting small. Repair work will make you more money starting off and the initial investment is much less. If later on down the road, you decide to...

    Brunswick Hoppe question

    Not sure if this is the best forum to ask this question but here goes... I was contacted about restoring 2 Hoppe Brunswicks 2 piece cues. Before I take on the work, I want to make sure that I'm not killing the value of the cues. My question is, What's the going rate for a decent Hoppe vs what...

    Bridge points

    Before you cut your points, you need to stack veneers similar to the male jp in the pic above. After you stack the veneers then you cut your pocket for your points

    Q: Should pro-types be allowed?

    I've never had a problem playing against the champions in the small weekly tournaments. The players aren't the ones that make the tournaments anyway. In my area, the tourny's are made by the people that gamble on the calcutta. Without the calcutta players, your tournament is not going to be much...

    points not lined up

    I have a friend that's the same way. Given the choice of 2 cues similar in looks, he will choose the one where the points don't line up perfectly. He's the same with stitch rings too. He's OK with rings that are all in alignment, but thinks the cue has more character if something's not as it...

    Gus Szamboti Legend Cuemaker Clip

    Most of the wait time with buying cues is from processing the woods. Some cuemakers will let their shafts "rest" a month between cuttings and it might take a year to get the shafts to finished size. Other makers have large inventories of wood that's ready to go and their wait isn't as long. The...
