    Cheap a** cues

    So finish turning my router mount into an engine mount for a 68 olds and am ready to mount up my first cue refinish. I measure out 29 inches off of one of the cheap ace cues I have in the shop and start cutting. I hit something hard halfway through and immediately stop. I look in the cut and see...

    Better? I can hang off of this.... I used one of the tool holder screws to keep it square. I left the previous mount hole so I can use it as a cord holder. What ya think of me now? :)

    Coring tools

    So I will try to make this a boring post. (badump bump tsh) So what do you all use to core your wood? Ream? Gun Drill? Long Drill? Boring bar? And what would be a good place to get these things reasonably priced? Thanks

    Thanks for the detailed info! Yes my riser is a block of cocobolo wood. I will redrill the the hole in the bracket to get it closer to the angle. Planning on picking up some u bolts today to help hold the router better on the bracket. I still have to have the router as high as it is because...

    What downside is there in missing that .0625 of wood? I could bore up if needed but just wanted to know if I absolutely needed to.

    Nice. If it fit a dewalt router I would consider it. I thought about making a fork out of the base so it would fit in my tool post but opted for this sturdier option. I could mount the 1/2 inch aluminum to the block and then drill a hole for the tool post set pin in the underside to lock it in...

    With the tool post screwed down I pulled and pushed on the router and it did not move. What might you suggest it make it more secure?

    1.5 inches. Router is very secure although I will be adding u bolts as suggested.

    Finally started my next quest. Just built out the router arm this past weekend and got to test it on some scrap poplar laying around. I am still pulling together some tooling which brings me to my question. When it comes to coring what is the minimum I can do? I purchased a 14.2mm x 430mm gun...

    Need help identifying wood species.

    Having the wax on there does not help much either. I bought a couple of totes of hardwood yesterday. I have two weeks until the antique shop closes and we get everything moved out. Next I have around 15 house cues I have to work on putting joints in. Then I will be breaking into those boxes...
