    WTB Thuya burl

    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.

    G.Szamboti blanks

    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...

    Dust collection ideas

    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...

    Getting into CNC

    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!

    Pair of DCC cues just completed

    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.

    Looking for colored veneers 0.5mm-0.35mm thick

    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...

    NeverWet?

    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...

    Grizzly 14 inch band saw

    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...

    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 version leaves a haze. A clear version is in the works. Source: Lancaster Online- Neverwet Thanks for...

    Super glue finish issues

    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.
