In my opinion, you'd be better off using one single piece that you know came from the same burl; they are all unique. Save this piece for a handle or a front with points in it.

I'd call it a short splice blank. Don't be let down- Gus made his own blanks in an era when nearly everybody bought pre-made blanks from Burton Spain or cut up pre-made cues (AFAIK). This was before the "information age," so he had to work it out on his own, coming up with jigs and fixtures that...

Measuring Air quality Wearing a mask when cutting only isn't effective for anything the dust collector misses. The fine dust is the stuff that causes the most damage to our respiratory systems. Per Bill Pentz, "Most dust collectors miss collecting 40% or more of the fine airborne dust. If we...

Arched veneers I like the arched effect.

To be honest, I never considered a Chinese CNC. I bought a CueMonster knowing that cuemakers have been using them for years and that there was support in this country- not just from Unique but also from other users. In my opinion, I don't think that cheap VFD's are an indicator that the Chinese...

Any chance you could re-upload these? I see the 2009 ICCS on your site, but not the 2008 interviews. Thanks!

Looks like the time spent on your new veneer jig was well worth it. Those miters are clean and the colors really pop. Nice job.

Veneer is sliced from the log in a variety of methods- Flat, Quarter, Rift, Rotary,etc. I'm sure each method of slicing has challenges to maintaining uniform thickness. It is important to understand that veneer is sliced from the log with a blade that's often over 12' long. While they're able...

CueVeneer.com Just had a few big orders wiping me out of a bunch of thin, but I still have some in stock. http://cueveneer.com/dyed-maple-veneer-thin I'll have some more done in a couple of weeks. ~Beau

I posted my thoughts in the following thread (in this section) just last week- Rustoleum Neverwet Pretty neat stuff. The nano-technology used is silicone-based, so I'd keep it far away from anything that needs finish. It may work as a shaft-slicker and sealer, but apparently the current...

It is under the "requirements" tab. "Mach3 Minimum Recommended Requirements: *Use of Parallel Port for machine control only on 32-bit versions of windows. 32-bit Desktop – Parallel Port Requirements 32-bit version of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7"

Nice review. I think the Grizzly G0555 model is the most popular bandsaw in cuemaking. I've seen it in a ton of shop pictures. I like the computer balanced cast iron wheels and rack & pinion for the upper guide bearings that they added for the model you bought. I just have the base model, but I...

Happy Birthday, Barry.

Pretty neat stuff. The nano-technology used is silicone-based, so I'd keep it far away from anything that needs finish. It may work as a shaft-slicker and sealer, but apparently the current version leaves a haze. A clear version is in the works. Source: Lancaster Online- Neverwet Thanks for...

I agree. It looks like there wasn't enough finish and the chalk is showing where it is wearing through. If a magic eraser cleans the dirty spots, you'll know it isn't coming from under the finish.

Hi Mr. Webb, I see you've posted some other woods for sale since this thread. I look forward to a reply to my PM about this batch. Thanks!

You can also check EBay.

$200 for the four plus shipping? Please check PMs.

Sharing some more information about what you have may help you make the sale. The Cnc has a Wolfgang spindle and a Chinese spindle & vfd. Is it 1.5 kw or 2.2 kw? You mentioned another spindle is included but hasn't arrived yet- what is it? What version of BobCad are you including? How much...

I seem to remember Doug Patrick showing something a while back.
