Legit auction I know the people that own these cues being sold on ebay. The auctions are legit. Please give them a break, they have zero knowledge about cues, and not much more about ebay. Mistakes were made but not intentionally. The cues were listed without talking to me first. These cues...

You'll regret it! Unfortunately, i haven't tested the cue yet coz i've been busy at work...I will try to test hit the cue if i have time....The problem is if i like the hit of the cue i won't be sending it to Germany :lmao: Hi Jun, Awesome cue, and that's your first custom!!! Don't...

Partial repost Hello, To add some clarification at least to the best my knowledge regarding the piloted stainless half joint. I DIDN'T invent the half joint look. To my knowledge it was Rocky Tillis who did in the late 60's early 70's but not sure. His method also had stainless going rather...

bearing race, metal lathe? Hi I don't know what kind of machine you have. I'm assuming it's a metal lathe, and these roller bearings sit in a race that is replaceable. If the bearings, and races are replaceable, and what you have has any hours on them I would highly recommend replacing them...

Abe Rich - still working every day.

some clarification Hello, To add some clarification at least to the best my knowledge regarding the piloted stainless half joint. I didn't invented the half joint look. To my knowledge it was Rocky Tillis who did in the late 60's early 70's but not sure. Benson did it as well, how ever His...

Neutral Feel dennis do you do the same or just make the cue weight 19.25 or whatever is wanted. i like a 58''cue with a balance point a 18.5 with every inch i go back about .5'' Hi Dave, There's a lot more to it than just what the measurement is from one end or the other that a cue will...

already explained. If you read post #7 your point was already explained, and agree. Remember not everyone will have the same knowledge or level of thinking as another on a given subject, which is why they ask the questions. Dennis <--wishes He knew more. :)

What I believe is the answer to your question. Hi Ian, The measurement you need to know when you have a cue that you love the balance of is from the top of the ferrule to the balance point. A 58" cue as you described the balance point is 39.25" from the top of the ferrule. Even if you play...

CNC used as a vehicle to push the envelope on design and increase the artistic aspect, something that cannot be done with a panto, then I respect it. Tap; Tap; Tap; I love it when you hear of guys thinking outside the box, building their own fixtures, tools...

Which collet? Hi Newton, IMO You can't spend to much on accuracy. It saves time, less headaches, and most of all more rewarding results!! It looks like two of the company's are offering the same runout tolerances, except that "shoptools" says .0002" or better. I would recommend buying a...

Haley - Runout checked. Hi, Jason brought His Haley in my shop asking me if I would check it in my lathe, and asked if I would post the results. After spinning it in my lathe first making sure each end of the butt was dead center. The center of the cue has a total centerline run out of...

Tenon dia. question? If your threading your ferrules to a 5/16" (.312") major thread dia, may I ask your reason that you cut the tenon down to .280"? While I agree the .280" tenon dia is likely to be strong enough, why not fit the wood threads more fully into the threaded ferrule...

Searing balance My personal preferences for the balance point based on a 58" cue is between 18-3/4 to 19" from the bottom of the butt cap. The heavier the cue the more forward I want it, and lighter further back. I like a slightly forward balanced cue. I want to make, and play with a cue that...

Apology accepted.

Hi Eddie, I do not use super glue to glue a ferrule. I never did, and never will, and never told anyone I did. Besides I'd like to see someone get a threaded ferrule all the way on before super glue starts setting. Dennis Searing
