Thanks all. Zim my e-mail is eccprocrete@yahoo.com. It's funny how we need to protect ourselves, but I take notice when it's my child. (I'm a little over 5-10 and he is 6-1) but he's still my baby. I will build something at my new shop. Any and all input is wanted. I have built a great spray...
I would like an area for butts and shafts. My son loves working with me. He is 16 put still has his fight with asthma. He has a good mask. I would like to get it better.
Do you make your collets? I use a set for finished cues only. Place them in a zip lock bag after use. Sounds like your finish was cured so check your collets for scratches.
I'm making a new shaft. I put my maintenance pin in the shaft, 3/8-10, it fits good. Try to put it on the butt, it won't even start on. I put a 3/8-10 pin beside the butt pin, it's a 3/8-10 thread.
Thanks all. I think Lee hit with acme 3/8-10. my 3/8-10 maintenance pin works on the shaft, but not the butt. the tread count is 10. Where do I get that tap?
Thanks Josh, I'll have it finished this weekend and send you the pics and the cue! Hope you enjoy. Thanks alot for understanding during a very hard time for me.

Thats a big investment for "every now and then." What are you using now?
What finish are you comfortable with? There are cheaper ways to go if you only build 10 or so cues a year.
