That sounds legit, but how much weight does a 1/8” hole eliminate? I need to research this T-88 epoxy, I’ve seen numerous people suggest it.

What’s the purpose of this hole in the side?

This is the last pool Cue for the foreseeable future. It’s the second of a set I started a few months ago. I was trying out some jigs I made for pre assembling rings. It worked ok, I learned not to over tighten the jig and a few other things. Didn’t really want to chunk the ring’s, so I dressed...

This second Purple Heart weighs in at 18.2 oz.

This is my latest Purple Heart pool Cue. It weighs in at 19.5 oz.

I like that!!

Protect your lungs. The dust and fumes from finishing products can pose a serious health issue in your living quarters.

I completely agree with all responses. This will be the only 3/8-10 modified pin with pilot I do. I always liked Tim Scruggs 5/16-14 pins with pilots and thought I’d try it with a 3/8 pin. My pilot does contact the inside walls of the butt, but like mentioned it’s redundant. After posting, I...

When I look at the picture that Bob Dz posted, regarding 3/8-10 pins. It’s obvious to me that the modified pin is superior. Has anybody ever installed one with a pilot like pictured? I’ve installed phenolic inserts on both sides of the joint. What are your thoughts or experience with such an...

Fair enough, I apologize for not describing the pin as partially bored. I’m trying to be as candid as I can be. So, what I’ve gathered so far is that boring pins is not ideal as other options are available. However, I haven’t seen anything that shows that a bored pin is weakened or subject to...

I’m hesitant and feel like I’m going to take a beating for this statement: This gluing method doesn’t make sense to me. To insure filling the voids, he created a bigger void. It seems to reason that if you fill the hole with enough epoxy, have glue relief in the pin, the voids will be filled as...

It’s all good, my inquiry was about issues related to pins that were bored and installed. I’m not trying to negate your input because your first post pretty much was what I had been thinking. Seeing as we don’t know the reasons why your customer wanted the pin removed, it remains a moot point...

The 25% lower weight was after having it bored an inch deep. The removed pin pictured above appears to be bored completely through, not what I was eluding too.

I totally agree, I wasn’t suggesting to bore the entire pin.

Extraordinary, I seem to recall something about the medical field. You deserve a lot of pool Cue photos.

That is very interesting timing. Can you describe what you think about the install. To me, it doesn’t look like SS, and it looks like it was installed hollow. But I can’t tell what you know from the pictures.

What he said, but first, what kind of work do you do?

Thanks guys, I’ll just do like Garczar suggested, one less thing for me to maintain.
