trez, thank you thanks for the common sense approach to my question.i dont have the computer tech to take pics and put them on the web.that would have probabley helped.this repair i used pigment instead of saw dust thinking it was a better idea.oops.it was so small and if i had a pic it would...

it can be done find a cuemaker that can get a z without the insert or collars.then he can match the rings with your cue as well

i agree...but i agree with u, but your advice kj several others are an asset to cms and this site.i hope this will work out.i dont want to be the one who started this fire. brian

i dont think thats what they ment its the "this is an unexceptible touch up"for something they dont really know about.ive been making cues for 8 years and know what im doing. there r some who read some thing and that makes them think they r cuemakers.i know and have read a lot on physics,that...

roger u are right on the mark by the time this thread is done all will think this is my first cue.because of the super billiards expo, i know alot of cuemakers.some r my friends that have told me to call them anytime. i try not to bother them as they r always busy and i feel like i am nagging...

read on iceman again with my construction was done wrong? not buying that. way to small a void. for whatever reason a small area didnt take glue.put way to many points in way to many cues to not know that.if the groove and points didnt mate so square there would be a bigger glue line.this is...

well put kj i have been going on ask the cuemaker for about 2 years. i never registered till a couple of months ago or so.i stopped going on for awhile because of all the bickering.its a shame for things to get like this cause i think a forum for cuemakers to discuss issues that come up with...

by the way... the void is about 3/16 long and very thin and about 3/8 from the point which is sharp.at this point i was trying to darken the epoxy that was tinted and used to fill in the small void.you guys make it seem like im taping the point off and going to town with a sharpee. lol i guess...

cant go by the time line i had already filled the void with pigment and epoxy before the original post.ive had voids before but never on the last pass.it is small.very small.in the future i will not post a question like this.way to many opinions on my work and the touchup.i have made many cues...

what frank said my opinion too

what he said i always talk to customer about what he wants in a CUSTOM cue.that is exactly what u r talking about.when people ask me what the difference is between a custom or production it all comes down to what u want i a cue made for yourself and that a custom should be made with a higher...

i made my playing cue with a capped ivory joint with a radial pin.love the hit.my customer cues come with a linen phenolic, wood to wood joint with a radial pin.ivory has a slightly softer hit than phenolic joint and ofcourse ss the hardest.i would try and try as many different joint combos as u...

it can be done it would be too deep but the handle can be built back up with epoxy.take it to an experienced cue maker/repairman

hey, atleast the "i was in jail" guys have an excuse.lol

im in i will send whatever u need.i have been thinking of making a cue for charity for sometime but time is a problem for me.a big problem.pm me and we will talk. brian

i have a few shafts that r going on 3 years or so.i dont get it.why do people drop off a shaft and then disappear.i usually get their number but when i call its like oh yeah i have to pick that up.lol

calm down guys, just a touch up, not a hack up first, the void WAS NOT THERE until the last pass.it is small.if i cant make it look perfect or damn close it will not go to customer.and like kj and mr nieghbors said and myself included i have repaired big money cues by great cuemakers with...

good one lol i filled it with epoxy mixed with pigment, i came up a little gray.so i need to color it.maybe a marker or similar?

have a purpleheart forearm with ebony points. small glue line showing on one point.what do you guys recommend i touch it up with.because of illnesses i am far behind on cue orders.customer is patient but wants his cue.so any help would be greatly appriciated. thanks brian
