He was one of the first guys I talked to when the bug bit me. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear...he said his mind. RIP.

Not 3/8-10 they don't.

There was a 2006 thread about who and what pool movie would you like to see. This was my post then. "Cicero Murphy. A gritty movie done in black and white of his early years up to his later years. He could not compete in world events until 1965 because of his race...he won a world title on...

I have two indexing fixtures for sale. These were used on my CNC machine to inlay and cut points in a lot of cues. The top picture was used for cutting points. The indexer and the tailstock are keyed, so they can be removed and replaced. The tailstock slides on the key way for easy...

Just to clarify, Tomahawk can handle the impact of breaking. It was tested as a break/jumper uncapped with a 3/8" tenon with no failure. That being said, I like Ivorine IV for break/jump. It is extremely hard and heavy.

Thanks for the purchase. :). I will get it in the mail Monday.

Hi all. The Tomahawk for sale page is up and live on my site. :thumbup: http://mvpcues.com/tomahawk.php I do not have any black joint/butt sized material yet. If anyone is interested in that color/size, drop me a message and I will get that rolling. As long as there is demand, I plan to...

Great looking cans.

Thank you Joe for the opportunity to take over sales of the Tomahawk material. I appreciate your efforts in bringing this product to cuemakers and look forward to doing the same. To all, I will be adding a Tomahawk material page to my web site. Customers will be able to purchase lengths of...

Even kiln dried wood of some species can occasionally ooze sap. When wood dries, concentrations of sap will crystallize. Changes in humidity and temperature (it is middle of summer and I suspect your shop does not have AC) can make pockets of sap a bit viscous. I have seen this in purpleheart...

1. Set to incremental/fixed distance travel mode in your controller software. I don't use Mach, so I may not be calling the term exactly how it reads in Mach. 2. Set the travel distance to something like .020" of travel. 3. Tap the key a couple of times to send the machine in a certain...

And while you have the dial indicator there, after you have the scale correct, measure the backlash in both directions for all 3 axes. That can reveal something not quite right and good to know.

Howdy all. The turquoise color got washed out a little in the pics, and the figure in the purpleheart is a little nicer than the camera can show as well. I went down to a .005" endmill for the engravings, though the bold lines in the JP engravings might not suggest that. Fun cue. Here is a...

Thanks everyone! :) Happy late 4th.

My first cue with the ol' railroad track sterling silver rings. Enjoy. http://mvpcues.com/finishedcues.php

Thanks for your post. I understand your thoughts. I do think if there ever were glued surfaces (at least with epoxies allowed to soak in when laminating them an then later gluing in the groove) that would fail last in a cue it would be laminated veneers. Regarding my original post and...

??? I'm wanting to argue by giving my opinion that there might be a logic discrepancy in regards to what you said about too much glue? There was a rule in this thread against bringing up veneers? Google my heart out? Ill conceived trap? Pointing out the tolerance in a typical coring job is...

You say there is too much glue involved when it comes to improving resonance and coring. Then you say the purest transition of resonance is done with 4 pt F/S. Well, there is a layer of glue between the entire surfaces of the forearm and butt wood with full splice. Personally, I don't see how...
