    lathe question need some help please

    Todd Todd's username is Tsp&b. Great guy, very reputable. If you can't afford to replace someones shaft when you mess it up, you can't afford to even think about tip replacement.

    Shafts

    Quality Sure you can get finish sanding shafts, but you never know what you are going to get, unless you order several hundred, you get what you get. It may have 5 growth rings, or 12. Now if you really want to build something people want, you don't want to leave one of the most important...

    Thinking of buying a drum sander

    Delta I use a delta x5 and love it. As far as the thickness limitation, you can use a "carrier" board for very thin pieces. Use carpet tape, or sacrifice the very end to glue or other clamping solutions. The last method I use is a vacuum clamp. Since the end is open, the hose isnt in the...

    Earl's new cue

    Specifications So no specifications on tip, or tip diameter? Who would buy without knowing these 2 variables? or when its time to replace the tip? not trying to copy it, just make an informed purchase.

    CFM needs for HVLP gun?

    Enduro I am shooting enduro through a .8mm tip at 30psi. have also used the 1.3mm at 35 psi. The only reason I switched is because my .8mm gun is much better quality.

    Rogue cue technician

    Steal a customer? I would like to know how you "steal" a customer. Gunpoint? Tazer? I would laugh and ask him just how you make a customer spend money if they did'nt want to. I just think its kinda funny the mentality of this dude. He's desperate to recover the money he's losing on tips. LOL

    Gray stain question

    I am trying to get a nice "deep" gray stain on a cue. I am looking for any tips you may have. I am either getting way too dark, or too much contrast. meaning the grain is about right, but the closed pores are still tan. I am using trans tint, but open to anything that works. I have tried...

    Inlaying another makers cue upon customers request.

    A little off topic but........ I recently had a woman ask me to build a cue with a certain nascar drivers theme. While I would have loved the sale, I declined because of trademark and legal liabilities. She was mad and could'nt understand why. It was going to be a christmas gift. I told her...

    Stacked leather vs leather vs linen

    Stacked My advice is to go with the stacked leather wrap. The wrap groove should not be changed. If your cue guy wants to cut on you cue.....run Make sure you know what you are wanting for a finish/feel. Smooth and polished, or more of a chamois - raw leather feel. Go for it with an...

    Ferrule tennon threads

    Many Thanks What a great bit of suggestions. I feel much better knowing there are years of results without implications. Joey, I'll use the super glue suggestion. I had one of the well duh moments upon reading your thread. Never even thought about that approach. Thanks!

    Parabolic taper

    Taper I used to build golf clubs in college, and the shafts with the parabolic taper had a higher "kick Point" meaning that the shaft would be more consistent because the end of the shaft would whip less. I know were comparing two entirely different fruits here, but I think the feel of a...

    Ferrule tennon threads

    Question... If you use wax on the tennon to cut threads with a compression die, won't the wax interfere with the epoxy bond? I have not used any lubricant because of this reason, but I it makes me nervous threading tennons (have not twisted one off yet). But the threads are even more sketchy...
