Good one to start with... http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=123938

What about a joint pin?

I agree that slot rings are technically inlaid, I wouldn't count them when adding in "inlay" value. But I would count them when adding in "ring" value. I have set prices for each item going into my cues, add that to the base price of $250 and you have your retail price. Now, I have cues with...

I would seriously look into sanctioning with 14and1.com league. I have and here's my reasons why... 1) Local League Operator decides the local payout 2) NO weekly dues leave your local league, ZERO, NADA, ZILCH! 3) ONLY fees due to 14and1.com is a $15 player membership fee per session (not year)...

14.1 is my personal favorite game, but not many play it around here. I've expanded my shot inventory from playing 14.1 and have improved my game immensly after playing in an active league in Germany (6 yrs ago). I think every pool player should play a little 14.1 early in the pool playing years...

I've seen Dr. Cue's show in the past and it is a good one! However, he was just here a few months ago and I'm looking for something a little different, not degrading him, just don't want to repeat. Danny Deiters and I just went to Decatur, IL last weekend to see Archer and Strickland's...

We are thinking about having someone(s) at our Annual League Championship Weekend next June/July to put on an exhibition. We're not sure if we want an instructional or trick shot exhibition or both. Who is close to the St. Louis/Metro East area that you would recommend, both trick shot and...

I'm excited to announce that I'll be forming a 14.1 League sanctioned by www.14and1.com. League will be held at Baxter's in Fairview Heights, IL starting with a player meeting late January (date TBD) and league starting first week of February. I'll be running a "flex" schedule, meaning that...

Another GAT Stop has come and gone, thus another month completed on the GAT 09' tour season. Attached is the stats up to this months Tour Stop, along with an updated yearly tour schedule. Be sure to notice December, January and February date changes. We've also moved the February Qualifier to a...

This is about as realistic as you can get in setting up a "hobby shop" for building cues. And you really don't need the Tapering Machine, the Deluxe has the taper bars on it already. Would be a great addition, but not needed! You could even save $300-$400 dollars and just buy the Inlay as an...

With everything I have going on in my life, I don't have time to take photography classes! haha!! Zim

Color coding is an excellent idea, especially for a dealer/storage case! Great looking case, enjoy! Zim

Here's a few more pics, these are a "little" better. The price has been edited also, it's $675, not $775

I think what I'm going to do is, basically what I've been doing, but with some tweeking per suggestions in this thread! Customer designs his cue, can come to the shop at designated times to help in the building process (no machinery involved), takes photos and notes (maybe for scrap book or...

This is what I tried to explain to my customer! That even though he's putting time in on his cue, that still slows me down, ties up shop equipment and time that could be spent doing other things that will have a higher return on my investment (time/money). I normally give local league players...

There's 4 components to my set up... 1) 5' folding table (wood, not plastic) 2) Lathe box 3) Riser box 4) 5 gal bucket (used to transport vacuum and lights, serves as a trash can during use) The wheel assembly fits both boxes! I set the table up, roll in the riser box, remove the wheel...

That's hands on time on the "cue" and not the equipment... not a bad idea! They can hand pick their wood and materials, do the non-machinery work and I do the work that requires the use of equipment. They can hang out in the shop when I'll be working on their cue and they can take photos and...

Things that have been considered! What about some type of "accident" waiver, just a thought! I've thought about the "watching" the cue being built also! Let them take notes or photos of the cue in the building process. Thanks, Zim

I was approached by one of my regular "repair" customers and "acquantance" for about 13 years. He's been itching at ordering a custom cue from me, but it's his first custom cue that he has any say in the design. He asked me if I'd let him help build the cue and what I'd charge! He has no...
