    I would love to find one as well. Until then I just made one similar to unique’s but with delrin wheels.

    Two-sided ball rack

    I know the OP doesn’t want a hinged one but it has been brought up. The above smartrack is nice and thin but I think the V-Rack looks more solid long term imo. https://www.thevrack.com/

    How many still have the first cue they ever bought?

    I had a normal cue rack I got from Amazon that the cues were in originally. When I setup the display case I used a piece of padauk used in the cue for the shelf. The pin goes through and hangs from the joint protector. From that I got the idea to modify the bottom rack and move it up replacing...

    How many still have the first cue they ever bought?

    The first cue I bought was a Pechauer (second from the left). I was a newb with sweaty hands so I later switched to the third from the left with a wrap. Now I’m back to a wrapless with one of my builds.

    Gun drill vs arbor

    OK, but doubtful since I just got it recently. Sterling was very helpful and easy to work with, recommend if you can't find one.

    Arragant Sellers and Paypal fees

    Pointing out spelling errors is arrogant too. Private sellers are going to sell things for what it is worth to them. It's their property and their prerogative. If you don't like the price move on. Plus Why start a new thread about the same thing?

    Offset taper measurement

    It is, but my tooling is set for a joint size of .850 final. He is aware of that and as long as I get the weight and balance of the cue correct the diameter difference is close then it is ok.

    Offset taper measurement

    The guy wanted me to match the specs of the Cuetec cue he likes to play with, so it is thinner than normal. His joint was even smaller at around 0.800” but I told him it would be 0.850” for this cue. He was ok with that.

    Offset taper measurement

    Ok thanks, they are an average 1/8” each end. I do use a small 60 degree hole. I made a spreadsheet to calculate the offset.

    Offset taper measurement

    When doing a taper with an offset tail stock, what is the proper measurement for the overall length? The center points go a distance into the wood. Is the measurement the actual length of the piece or is it the actual distance between the points of the centers?

    🔵 Can you replace Cuetec Cynergy's ferrule with Rhino's $5 ferrule? 🔵

    Let’s be honest. They are not interested because it is not good way to do it. The cue makers did answer your questions. It seems you did not like the answer and decided to ask here. Could it be done? Maybe, but first question is how would you get the old one out. Next as you were informed it...

    🔵 Can you replace Cuetec Cynergy's ferrule with Rhino's $5 ferrule? 🔵

    Not sure how you hit with it more than once without noticing the tip was gone. If you are happy with it now, then leave it alone and play away. If and when you want a new tip or ferrule, you should just take it to a cue-smith before you do anymore damage to it. Besides the vault plate, the...

    My first tip install

    Personally, I prefer 19 ounces, so I shot for that in the cues so far. They have a weight bolt hole so most can be raised (some could be lowered). I am starting to get better at targeting weights and balance point.

    My first tip install

    Hard to believe it's been nearly 4 years already. Took a year of tips and ferrules to get comfortable enough to try some butt stuff ;). Working on beat-up old bar cues allowed me to work on many different things with less worry of screw ups. It was about another year of bar cues and minor...

    My first tip install

    Well it’s been a while, so I thought I would show and tell what I have been up to. I am making progress on the above cues (pictures below). A little less progress though due to getting my first real build commissions. I am honored anyone would want me to make them a cue. I have been working hard...
