I didn’t core it. I bored out the first 5-6 inches and filled it with cotton. Then the tenon, ferrule and tip.

If the ferrule is not cracked anywhere, it should be able to be reinstalled and a good tip with it. Find someone in your area to do it right.

I’ve done some experiments with hollowing out the shaft. Nothing conclusive yet.

I know some use a metal lathe with some modifications to do shafts. Not sure of the price though. Amazon won’t have much that would be worth while. I would love to have a cheap tip lathe to have as a portable unit but cheap and good don’t go together here.

Here you can see what I mean better.

I’ll ask the same question but for a Mid America lathe. I assume it should. MA doesn’t offer one. Maybe they will with the new owner but I do not see one yet.

Yes those types of LD shafts are hollow. The thin walls plus being thin strips laminated together can’t handle the extremes of breaking. A miscue can add additional side forces too.

That or maybe breaking with it did it. Thank you

There is a cue that I have always admired even before I started working on cues. The Brunswick Titlist cues from the 26 ½ to the Titlist one-piece to the Willie Hoppe Professional. Just something about it I have always liked. Early on I got my hands on a 1940’s Willie Hoppe Pro and a 1970 one...

Well, it has been an interesting few months. I did make a slight spelling change to my brand name from Escott to Esscot. I accidently deleted my YouTube channel in the process so now its EsscotCues42 I continue to do repairs. Most are simple tip or ferrule replacement. However, a few...

The two in the middle. An Adam Willie Hoppe and a Purpleheart STR-3

That would have been my next suggestion, but I didn’t know how far you wanted to modify it. I’ve been loving mine. Only reason I might change is I finally got my hands on a Titlist one piece to convert. Been looking for the right one for a few years. I have ideas for the other Ebony. Hope to...

Very nice! That bumper is just on with a screw. You can get any different screw on type to replace or have the end threaded and maybe recessed a bit for a threaded bumper. My current player is a one piece Ebony conversion I made. I still have the second one I will convert someday. I may be...

One of my favs!

There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive.

Glad you found someone to get the job done. Definitely possible with the right wood. Just finished this one. 12.75mm, 0.850" joint, 29” long. Right at 4oz.

His name says Cuesupply.com which is fake and does not exist. You may have accidentally gone to cuemakersupply.com which sels parts and is now making the Mid-America lathe.

I think I know the picture. Saw it that gross foot today lol. I like the 10 pictures of the generic rectangle box case and 1-2 blurry pictures of the cue. Or close-ups of everything but the points. etc. I’ve seen people selling a cues for $1000 and all the pictures were blurry. Who thinks...

Ok new member. What lathe are you using to make your cues. Let’s see some pics.

Agree they need to fix the issue. I could not get on at all. Three different computers etc. the problem I think is the provider not browser. I cannot get on with my PC. Can’t with my phone either but if I turn off my WiFi, I can get through to them from my phone.
