Just have the maker face the pilot off the the new shaft. Easy peasy.

I'm happy I went to cnc for tapering and cutting points and butterflies. Because I have limited space I built my cnc on a big wood lathe. I've improved much about the lathe, but it can still act as a traditional wood lathe (one of my design parameters). I've put the tail on linear rails and...

I don't know. A haas is going to cost well over 10k, right? I was running a taper bar setup before converting it to cnc. I have maybe 1k into the motors and a stand alone controller with mpg handheld. The rigidity issue is a minor concern, but working wood isn't like working metals. If you...

The first thing I would want to know is what you want to do with the CNC. CNC is great for cutting shaft and butt tapers, inlays, etc.. It is not necessarily great for repair work. I can't see the advantage to attempting to do ferrules and tips with CNC. If you are looking to add CNC and...

To add to Kim's comments, phenolics can be very abrasive. Hss is a great material, easy to sharpen, hard to overheat, but it requires maintenance.

Good manners never go out of style. We've disagreed, but I expect we'd get along well. It really is a, 'read the room' situation. The chalk on the rail is a weird one for me. I always struggled with the dilemma because I can't count how many times I have been in the zone and set my hand on...

Everybody gets one. I understand that it is habit for people to do certain things, and this behavior is certainly ingrained in some people. I had the habit for a short while in one particular place. My reaction would mostly depend on what happens if a person does it after I've requested they...

That's kinda the thing--you say that there is more chalk on the floor from idiots chalking badly than from people wiping tips on the floor. What about all the other things that people have done to the floor? Spilled drinks, broken glasses, walking out of the men's room, etc.. I don't know if...

Of course it is ridiculous, that's the point. I take my shoes off in my house and in my pool room. My guests generally offer to do the same without me asking. I have towels--paper and cloth that I will gladly let them use to wipe off the tip. It's a small thing, but it is a thing. I really...

I'd just bring a mess of fried chicken to their house and use the curtains as napkins.

From a business model, meaning the goal is simply to maximize profit and capitalize on opportunities, yes, it might be a bad model. From a lifestyle perspective, it might be pretty effing awesome. Maybe they love making cues. Maybe they enjoy the reputation they have. Maybe they get pleasure...

Price from the factory? Don't know. Don't care. Secondary market is likely higher because there is no wait... Why would you, 'be generous' if you think you know something. FWIW, when you quote the low end, you are being 'conservative'. Being generous would be quoting the high end, or...

What a dumb post. First, we know that there are at least two people at SW. Your 10k per month doesn't look so hot when split. Then subtract the monthly overhead of the building space, taxes, utilities, etc.. Now subtract the material cost, expendables cost, and maintenance cost. Your 10k...

I didn't read it that way. Agree with your sentiment, tho.

Oooooh, so the problem is something casual and beginning players experience, but most seasoned players don't. Good marketing strategy to announce it on a site that is 99% seasoned players.

Funny thing. I went between two of my most radically different cues in the past couple of days, both I built. Cue 1 is a bird's-eye forearm with cherry points and cherry handle, weighs 15oz, 12mm shaft with long taper. I love the cue and would be the last one I would sell. Cue 2, curly...

Jamming the cue into the tool on the floor and playing, 'let's start a fire' is a horrible way to work on tips. Take the shaft off, use something like the L4E...or just a doubled piece of 220 sandpaper partially rolled to a proper profile and work the tip where you can see it.

It's a marketing video. It's a manufactured product available for sale.

You are the one who claimed that clubs had signed NDAs and had seen the concept. I knew what you meant when you said that it wasn't made for Montana, I'm not stupid. Your phrasing was stupid. Scams come around all the time. Pay me a small amount and you can be first in line. Sometimes...
