    Who Builds (Built) Spliced Cues?

    Different types of point construction The problem here is that the term "splices" is being interpreted differently. It is important to differentiate the three basic types of point construction & splices. In a full-splice cue, a V-Groove is cut into the forearm to accept the points. The...

    Anyone seen tip press like this one?

    I found it at http://www.craftsmancues.com Unfortunately, the photo link isn't working for me and it only holds up to an 11mm tip. Supposed to be designed to put a dome on tips that come flat.

    Who Builds (Built) Spliced Cues?

    Unfortunately, the OP didn't specify "full-splice," "short splice," or otherwise. I think this is a source of some confusion. From the cuemakers listed as having built "spliced" cues, I took it to mean "short splice" vs. "inlaid." Short-spliced cues have a 90 degree (or so) V groove...

    Selecting a cue lathe?

    What you're asking for is a cuebuilding lathe. Repair lathes typically don't do much in the line of tapering (without offsetting the tailstock). Even that isn't going to get you there for the typical shaft. I've never tried the Porper you're asking about, but I don't see a way to taper with it.

    Who Builds (Built) Spliced Cues?

    Black Boar's points are spliced in. He just does it in a unique way. They're not full-splice, but they're spliced.

    Which one or both?

    In South Florida I had to add both to keep it under control. If I were you I'd add the AC first; as it does pull some of the moisture out of the air. It may be enough and if nothing else, you'll be more comfortable working in a cooler shop.

    Ring Work Replication

    Though they are the same materials, the ring designs are different. A cursory glance shows that the Gilbert is using black blocks as a design element in his ringwork to separate the ivory and silver blocks. Someone who has built ring billets would appreciate the subtleties. That said, the OP...

    Ring Work Replication

    If I remember right from the TAR "Genius of Ginacue" documentary, Ernie took legal action against someone copying a cue of his. Granted, that was an entire cue and not ringwork, but it still shows that he values the time he spends drafting and designing. I'd suggest designing your own...

    What is this year's ICCS theme?

    As Will said, the show is open for the public to attend on Saturday. Top cuemakers are invited to attend and display by the ICCS. This isn't an expo where anyone can pay to display.
