I have had only one request for a different tomahawk color. I don’t recall the specific color, but I don’t think it was an earth color. Other colors are a possibility but I don’t know the pricing, sizing, or quantity I would have to order. A big risk to invest and sit on inventory. And I’m not...

I am not a reseller of juma.

I have never heard of anyone using a poly glue for ferrules. Cracking in the middle certainly supports the theory that glue expansion caused it. Were they capped without a glue relief hole? Or was it screwed on and the tip installed right away before it could expand out of a capped glue...

I thread all of my ferrules with live tooling (except repairs when I am matching a current configuration). With good threads, nearly any glue is suitable IMO. I have used various slow setting epoxies (west system, total boat, Raka, etc) for installing ferrules, all with success, so I won't...

I have never had anyone contact me regarding split or cracked Tomahawk ferrules (except one person who confused a deep scratch from a tip pik with a crack). I have never had any myself and I install a lot on my own shafts I build, all uncapped. Prior to coming to market, Tomahawk was tested...

Shane contacted me. The situation will resolve and it will just be water under the bridge.

Someone who has built cues for more than 2 decades and still at it probably does a lot of things correctly. Maybe you have a friend who can turn 36" cues between centers and that is how he tapers extensions. That's a fine thing to do and has some efficiency, but telling every cuemaker who...

I'm simply stating the situation. Yeah, life happens. I have called and texted off and on for a very long time. Early on he answered my texts. At this point he either does not recall who I am and simply won't answer my calls, or doesn't want to. If I simply ask for his contact and someone...

I have been trying to reach Shane for a while now. No answer when I call his cell (at least the # he was using last time he came to my place), and his inbox is full. I paid in advance a deposit for some cloth for a cloth change upon his return visit. Is it possible someone can assist in...

You may be right about his low estimate being too low, but if so it would have nothing to do with whether the extension is tapered. Tapering an extension VS cutting it straight doesn't take any more measurable time. I take that back, 1 minute to measure two diameters on the cue so you know...

They are all MW threads.

Do you know how and have the jigs to cut the angles on the veneers but not the butt and forearm? Cutting the proper angles on the veneers consistently can be more difficult, depending on the specific equipment. The glue up is NOT a trivial aspect of veneered FS making. Also, you would have...

Why do you compare it to ebony? True mahogany is rather lightweight.

And I believe that is all Mach does when this is set up in Mach the way I alluded to.

Yeah, you know I was offended and actually was looking up old emails to find your pho... yeah I'm 100% kidding. I took it the way you meant it. It's a very specialized GCode generator. If you compare it to Cad/Cam software it is a one trick pony.

This is something to verify. CueCut is a 3 axis program. The first question is can your stepper/4th axis fixture spin fast enough to turn stock the way cuemakers turn stock? (VS a laboriously slow carving of a baseball bat I have seen a video of.) If so, and you are using Mach, you can set...

Much thanks fellows.

Thanks for the correction.

The person who wrote that isn't a cuemaker either, so it's just his terminology. It sounds like normal half splice points with veneers, 3 hi 3 lo. But to be certain post a picture.

What he said.
