If you'll go back to the title page for this section and look at the topmost subject (it's called a "sticky") you'll see the rules for this forum - the short answer is "No", links to vendors and sources are to be given through PM's and not published.

Some guys will wrap with teflon tape instead.

400 grit wet sand - use light pressure so you don't take off ferrule material

More sad news :( R.I.P. Greg

SMT, I remember that discussion, it was here or over on Cue Machinery and Supplies. I think Joey Batista aka Joey in Cali (or something like that) was involved. It was pointed out that if you sent your gun drill back to Sterling (I think) for re-sharpening you could tell them it was for wood...

Solarez is polyester resin. Some think it's great, others not so much. I'm finally learning how to apply correctly and I get a hard, deep, glassy finish. YMMV

JC, The white spots you are seeing are micro-bubbles that then turn white when they fill with sanding dust. These bubbles can be introduced if the Solarez is stirred too vigorously (like with some kind of power mixer) or if it is shaken. Apparently, there is a component that floats to the top...

I use Tomahawk all the time for ferrules and have no problem with good quality CA gluing tips and break tips. There is nothing significant about the shaft material in this scenario. What kind of break tip and what kind of glue are you trying to use? Gary

NDP, There's another guy here who goes by the screen name of Ssonerai who also comes from a furniture building background, so he may be a good source of what is needed and what to expect from a common perspective. Use the search function to see some of his posts and get his contact info. I will...

You do realize you are replying to a post from 5 years ago, right?

Wow, you have been busy! I, too, have been using the Consew motors - I have 1 on my repair lathe and one spare to install on my CNC tapering rig, just waiting for some down time to do that. I also belong to the Taig Mill FB group that you referenced. On my CNC rig, I started with open-loop...

" . . . . . . I also don't care for the way you are assuming that I am trying to price gouge customers. I assume you are a cue builder? Its like me jumping on a cue you are trying to sell and questioning how much the parts cost then saying I can get a Mcdermot Lucky for $50 so what makes your...

Hi Kelly, I got my Coco blanks today - they look great! Thanks for the nice wood and quick shipping, Gary

Ryan, If the cue has been kept in your immediate geographical area for 10 years, then it is safer, but still no guarantees. If you are getting it shipped to you from another area, then all bets are off. My 2 cents, Gary

Kelly, I'm interested in #3 and #9. PM sent Gary

Use there an existing wood or plastic plug in the joint end of the shaft? If so,then you can install the insert in the normal way. If it is foam filled you'll have to remove enough foam to glue in a plug. If it is not foam filled you'll need to fill it with foam and proceed from there. You have...

One reason, I suspect, is that most cuemakers can't afford a Southwest to use as a model! :grin-square: Gary

PRED, Two things: 1) I'm not sure how useful a board 13/16" thick is going to be for turning 2) You know there are rules about posting links here, don't you? Gary

You must have reposted the pictures as they are showing up now. Yes, that is the bulb that is recommended by SolaCure. Which ballast did you use? SolaCure has info on that. FWIW, my curing booth is only 35" wide - it was used as a spray booth - and I didn't see the 24" bulbs when I was setting...

Which bulb are you using? I tested some different setups and found the wavelength matters, but the wavelengths advertised for different bulbs/lights are not what they say they are. Post a picture of the bulb brand and type from the end of the bulb.
