Thanks Mike, but rules without enforcement are just words on a page. So we must self-enforce.

From "Rules for posting in Ask the Cuemaker" that you all skipped over: "Supply sources can be asked for, but all replies should be sent in the form of Private Messages. This protects our cuemakers supply sources from the general public. Almost no industry shares their wholesale sources with...

Guys, I've enjoyed the discussion, thank you. My question is "Isn't there a significant difference in working time between epoxy and poly glue?" I know someone pointed out the difficulty in getting a forearm core pressed through when using Titebond. I thought from previous reading, that it is...

Do the right thing This time and every time Even when no one is looking

There is/was a cuemaker about 80 miles north of me that had both a 4-cue saw taper machine and a 4-cue inlay machine. Neither one ran or ran correctly. He had a local computer whiz working with him to straighten things out. Don't know if he ever got things going. His opinions on the...

I'd like 10 PM Sent

Well all, I have been informed by BobCAD that they do not transfer licenses. I'm not sure what you have to do if your PC crashes or you upgrade. So I had to let Doug know and return his Paypal. FYI

DeeDee, That tailstock is a standard Taid tailstock - not invented or desgned by Todd. It has a tightening screw for locking it down that works just fine. YMMV Gary

I do the same thing. An old Craftsman wood lathe. I bought a Sherline (I think) adapter to screw onto the 3/8-16 pin of the headstock. It then holds a spur drive. A simple live center for the tailstock end. They are readily available on CraigsList or FB Market. Finding one with a variable...

I came across this and know folks here are sometimes looking for a similar setup. This CNC is plenty large enough to make cues. I do not know the owner/seller, though I see him post occasionally and believe he knows his CNC "stuff". So DO NOT try to contact me...

Man, I'm sorry to see that. I used to be on OB"s list of approved installers, so I could get those ferrules, but never had much demand for them in this part of the pool world. I just checked and the only one I have left was cut in half for some reason. Dunno I'm in Highlands Ranch and can put...

I have BobCAD 25 that I never used very much. I've moved to Fusion360. Let me know if you're interested. Gary@GBCues.com

Why was he playing on the ceiling? My experience has been many have a weight in the middle - usually nearer the butt than the tip. If the foam was not consistently applied, that weight comes loose and will slide around inside. The repair is to figure out which end it is loose end and some way...

Rob, OB doesn't use a custom pin. If you look at their website, most of their butts are shipped with a 3/8-10 modified pin. However, you can order an OB shaft with any pin type that you like. You'll need to see the butt/pin that the customer used before, or get the shaft and dtermine what pin...

As stated above, Sterling Gun Drills is a good source. Be aware that they are normally used to drill metal, and wood does better with a slightly different cutting edge. Tell Sterling what you want to use it for and they will put the correct edge on it.

Michael Webb is right - it's wood and not some manufactured product, so there can be light streaks buried beneath the surface. Gabon (or Gaboon) has gotten hard to find, so the quality of color may not be what it once was. I recently had a piece of Indan Ebony that was jet black all the way...

I came across this one on CraigsList here. I don't know the owner/seller and I have no involvement in the sale. FYI https://boulder.craigslist.org/tls/d/lafayette-pool-cue-lathe/7501676013.html

To add to the confusion, I had a discussion recently on another site with a well-respected cuemaker Dave B***** who complained that they mushroom. He said he was at a tournament and had cut off 5-6 at the owners' request because they mushroomed. The BulletProofs I have installed have not and...

Dave, I'm going to stay with my original statement. If you tap a BulletProof tip on a hard surface, it makes a softer sound that a piece of Lexan or polycarbonate.. Even in the video you provided, that piece of Lexan makes a clatter as it is hit and then bounces off the shelf when it lands. I...

I just wanted to clarify that Bullet Proof break tips are not made of Lexan. Lexan is hard and brittle, Bullet Proofs are not. Gary
