Yeah, there's no doubt the site is bogus, I think it needs to be reported. I ran across one of these sites a couple of months back, they were selling Palmer second catalogue cues for less than $100 new. I sent them an email to ask them where they got the cues from and they never responded. These...

Hold the top of the warp over the burner keeping enough distance that the wood will become warm, but it will not burn. When you mark the shaft with a pencil, you marked the top of the warp or he high point. Then place the shaft on a flat surface with the Highpoint up and place your hand over the...

Yeah, trying to straighten a laminated shaft would be like trying to straighten a piece of work plywood. I just don't believe it could be done.. As far as your Dufferin laminated shaft is concerned, I never knew they made them so I have no idea how rare that may be.

I don't think my technique will work on a predator shaft because of the way it's made unfortunately. Although, I've never tried it in the past if someone brought me one straight I didn't even attempt it. I don't think there is much more that can be done than you're already doing so I would just...

What are you gonna use for a finish to restore the chips?

Wow, it's amazing. This old resurrected thread is doing pretty good after all these years I'm glad so many people have had success with my technique that makes everything worth it.. If anyone is having problems using my technique, send me a PM I may be able to help you figure out what is going...

Thank you very much. It's good to be back my friend.. (y)

DOC, I was taught how to do it by a Luthier, the gentleman was in his 70s when he taught me. If done correctly and depending upon the quality of the wood, the straightening of the shaft will be permanent 90% of the time. Some have.already commented that it's not possible, all I can say to them...

Unfortunately, I never made a video of how to do it. My explanation is all there is, I just reviewed it, and I didn’t leave anything out so I really don’t know where you’re going wrong. How many different shafts have you tried to do this on? Unfortunately, I don’t know what else to tell you I...

Sharp dents are very difficult to remove without sanding. But for the most part a wet cloth and hot iron will work very well the heat and the moisture will raise the grain. It’s the same technique I used to use to remove a warp in a shaft. I’m really glad it worked for you. Thanks a lot for the...

Thanks very much, my friend. I appreciate it.

Most Chinese production cues use a similar weight for and a bumper that's attached to the weight bolt by a screw. You may be able to salvage a weight bolt and bumper from one of those type cues. good luck

That's a great example never thought of it. That way, I'll put that one away in my toolbox. Thanks very much for sharing

Thank you very much. Will, it's good to be back God it's been over 10 years. I really appreciate the kind words. I'll try to live up to that standard.(y) Thanks again well, I really appreciate it. Craig

Thanks for the support. I certainly agree with you.

Hu, I have never been in a situation like that, but one thing is for certain I would not have pulled my gun. I think you handed things the right way I mean hindsight is 2020. As far as being judged by 12 or carried by six, I would certainly also like to be judge 12. I imagine you’re confronted...

I had permits and carried conceal for almost 40 years, I totally agree that Kyle Rittenhouse was completely wrong on all counts. He should never have placed himself in the position he was in, and then when things turned negative, his first action is to use his gun, even though he caused the...

Thanks very much for the support and thankfully the Tacoma prosecutor also saw things from my perspective. As far as Rittenhouse is concerned, I just think he was completely wrong. He intentionally placed himself in that situation. I don't know what he was thinking, but it appears that he...

Everything in Asia is about saving face (personal pride) so yeah, I can understand that the competitors would want their faces plastered on every wall possible. Thanks for sharing your experience. I enjoyed reading it..

Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I've been to China and I've seen what you're talking about. I'm an ex patriot living in South Korea so trips to China are very inexpensive. Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I imagine the first time you see it. It is pretty eye-opening...
