Cory Barnhart!! I will put in another vote for Cory Barnhart... another one that was mentioned was sugartree, which is right up there, but my top pick out of the cues that have been mentioned is the Cory Barnhart.

Micarta and LBM Masonh, I mentioned that I would like to try out the Micarta and I had also heard that you have very good LBM... so how much are you asking for the LBM? Maybe I will get some of each... Thanks, Spencer

Water Based looks good to me... Many Thanks!! I have completed my first 4 cues now using General Finishes Water based products following the advice of Joey and others ((THANK YOU)). I have been a long time cue junkie and have owned cues from many top makers and I can honestly say that this...

I would like some also.. I had one of your cues in the past and I really liked your micarta ferrules. Now that I am building my own cues, I would really like to try out your micarta and compare it to the Juma I am using now. I'm not sure what you are asking, but I will probably get a couple...

Thank you Eric and Joey I really appreciate the info shared in these threads and it gives me food for thought and something to test out. I am curious Eric, do you just use a smaller tenon like Joey mentioned using a .625 tenon or is there more to the equation than just that? I have always...

Thanks!! I just received my Sniper tips and I have to say that Cue Components really provided some excellent customer service and very quick delivery. I ordered a couple other things along with the tips and I was happy when I noticed that my order had already been delivered today. I also sent...

Payment sent I sent you paypal payment, and I also sent you an email since I added something else small to the tip order. Thanks, Spencer

Thanks Rick Rick, Thanks for the reply and always taking time to help out and give a detailed description. Being new to cue making a person can make a lot of mistakes and misunderstand things, but you seem to have a very detailed process for everything that you do and you are always open to...

Sanding Mandrels I am a new cuemaker just finishing up my first few cues, but I can already see how something like this could be very useful. I do have a couple questions regarding the sanding mandrels if anyone wishes to share their experience.... I am wondering whether most people use a...

Sources for ring materials... I would love to check into some of these suppliers also if anyone is willing to PM me with these sources. I have built some basic maple and cocobolo slot rings, but would like to try some with silver and maybe some bushka or boti style rings at some point in the...

Barnhart all the way... James, I played for 3-4 years with a predator shaft and I was very adjusted to the way it played and the low deflection.... and then I bought a Barnhart cue! I felt the same way, that the cue played so well and that it provided such nice control, that I chose to take...

Thomas Case It appears to be a very nice Ron Thomas case. I have one that is almost the same, but mine is black and 2x4 versus the 1x1 or 1x2 that you have. I can tell you that the case design, strap design, snap on the side of the lid, and pretty much everything match up with how my Ron...

amount mixed... Dave, I think you might be right with it having to do with the amount mixed. I measured the resin and hardner on a scale and mixed up a little larger amount and towards the end I noticed it heating up and thickening. I will try using a bigger cup or larger area to mix in...

Epoxy vs other glues KJ, I considered using Titebond II, but I wasn't sure if something like titebond might create or show more of a clue line versus a fairly clear slow cure epoxy? I might try the titebond in the future... but that is why I put the question out there to see what others are...

Learning the hard way first.... Dick... As a new cue maker, I am just completing my first set of stitch rings. I am doing maple and cocobolo rings and currently my equipment only consists of a table saw, band saw, and cuesmith deluxe with router. So I cut each slot with the router and then...

comparison In terms of just doing repairs, then I would say that the cuesmith mid size is probably the most comparable to Todd's lathe. If you contact Chris, he will be a great source for information and answering questions. He has been supplying people with repair and cue building lathes for...

Cuesmith lathe I own the Cuesmith Deluxe and I am very happy with the lathe and with the customer service that Chris provides. I have also heard good things about Todd's lathe's and I have even considered one of his lathes as a second lathe for certain tasks or for doing tournaments. I...

router and lathe setup I have cuesmith deluxe and the bracket that I have will allow the porter cable router to mount either vertical or horizontal. I also believe that the router will be more accurate for cutting the slots, but will a 3 wing slot cutter work well or do end mills work much...

Interesting thread... I am just about to start building some rings myself, so I would be very interested in any tips or advice on building rings as well. I think I have a fairly good concept, but there are plenty of specifics that I haven't tried out yet. For example, since I haven't cut...

I am new to cue building and I followed some information from Eric at Sugartree and bought enough equipment and materials to build about 8-10 cues. Now that I am getting close to finishing some of these cues, I absolutely love the time I am spending building cues and on the entire process...
