WHO made the cue The cues in question were BOTH made by me, for Steve. Steve, had me make the first cue into which HE put the Silver inlays and Gold dots . . . and a very good job at that, and yes all by hand - I then finished the cue - correcting any minor flaws in the work. Fast forward...

Palmer Q or ?? First let me say that I did refinish the cue in question and believed it to be a Palmer to which I added an original vintage ink transfer. I do agree that the pin and several other "details" gave me cause to reflect on exactly when this cue would have been constructed - but...

Mike sigel Having been born in upstate New York - Rochester to be exact and having gone to college in Syracuse I witnessed Mike "coming up" . . . by 1972 he was SO good that at tournaments players who drew Mike in the first round would go look at the losers side to see who the might play next -...

Marley Cues Trent, you have made your point and I fully understand and support your position about not wanting anything sub-standard to leave your shop - but EVERYONE is on notice that the customer wants the cue even with the rattle - which HE and everyone else now know all about - so you are...

Cuemaking firsts First, Paul D. Costain (aka PDC Machine owner) & Gary Fumarola (PDC shop foreeman) - are the only 2 names on the US Patent for the UNI-LOC therefore they are the inventor creators - PERIOD. Second, the first actual RADIAL style pin was created by Paul D. Costain - it was a...

Black King Tips I have known Robert for over 20 years and have always found him to be very up front with everything he has been involved with in the billiard industry - so I was delighted to find that HE was the source for the Black King tips - I purchased over 100 on my initial order that is...

Predator wrap material Predator obtains all their wrap material cut to the length/size of their wrap channel - so IF you are looking to do a longer wrap area - your only option is to have a 2 piece wrap or choose another material . . . sorry about that. pfd

Micarta I too would like to thank Rich Welch, VP Atlas Fiber . . . Rich and I have had this discussion over EXACTLY what is and what is not Micarta in the past - and I am pleased that he has shared this information with the AZ community. What is very importantly here (IMO) is that Rich spoke...

Bert Schrager Bert was a very dear friend and will be missed greatly. I truly enjoyed the times we spent together discussing his early days of cuemaking. A generous man with both his time and knowledge - a real credit to our industry. My best to his lovely wife Pat who was with him in all...

Joss Pin The pin in question IS a 5/16 X 14 ACME - the pins were made special for Bill Stroud by PDC Macine (AKA - Paul Costain AKA - Uni-LOc). To get you shafts with 5/16 X 14 standard pitch thread to fit the Acme pin simply have the brass inserts re-tapped with the Acme tap. pfd

New Linen Press Excellent job Lee. Large Delrin rollers is the hot ticket - easy to see where you are on the wrap and easy to clean with the open body of the press. Sign me up - I needed a new one and this is the best so far. pfd ps. how much for an all aluminum version?
