Will do my friend! Got to figure out how im going to design the table.

Thanks Guys Neil you gave me an ideal. I think i will do the legs where I can adjust the height. Thanks Tom I measured the height like Neil said with my elbows at 90 and i am at about 40 also. So I think i will make 40 at center height of chuck and have my legs adjust + and - about 3 inches. I...

Just wondering, what would be the ideal lathe bed height? I am going to make a narrow rolling table for my Custom/Mid America/Hightower lathe. LOL Im used to do a lot of pro shop work on a Hightower and had it mounted at about 33 inches but just seemed low. Oh, I am 6' tall.

That is as clean as it will get. spent 2 days cleaning it and repressing etc.

Just wondering if anyone can identify. wrap is super tight, super smooth not coarse, the green specks you cant tell they are green unless right up on it in really bright light. I know this is typical of Cortland but not sure the pattern is correct. The modern irish linen you definitely can tell...

Fantastic looking cue Wow. Yeah i have order a lot of cue parts from them and they have always been top notch guys and turn out fantastic cues.

Well, Glad i took a chance and got it. Richard Black sent me a text yesterday. He stated that it appears to be a cue I would have done in 1976. That was the first year I was making cues full time. The original price with 2 shafts would have been 150 bucks. :oops: . ...nope not taking a 150...

Maybe the buttcap construction will verify i have in the links?

It is a 5/16x18. I think he did very few with the pin. Butt is 28.5 and shaft is 29.5. What is unusual too is that the pin is about 3/16" longer than normal. Also something strange is it has something under the wrap. The wrap is pressed very tight. The ferrules are not ivory or linen based. just...

The guy wont ship it and says he doesnt do paypal. Im about to make a road trip.

I think you are right...hadnt researched Richard Black cues. but found one that looks exactly like the butt but with pts.

There is two things that you should try to correct. First, you are approaching the shot wrong. What i'm talking about is the approach you take before you are down and in position. This is why you are to high and the butt is elevated to much and you look uncomfortable. Like book collector said...

Just wondering if anyone can give me a comparison of Tim Scruggs vs JossWest. Im thinking about purchasing and cant make up my mind. Im looking at '72-'80 JossWest and 80's era TS. I wish i could try both out to make a decision but unfortunately can't. They have a very similar look but need to...

Could be a frankenstein cue lol

crazy thing too if it was a production it wouldnt it be common for joint and butt ringwork to match but its slightly different below joint. Has alternating 1 dashes and 2 smaller dashes below joint. @ RSmith Yes appears to be. I was looking at that. Im going to have to get pic of ferrules from...

This cue has got me stumped. Ringwork looks like production but butt cap and bumper looks like custom even old early 70's joss. the wrap appears to be old cortland linen. The pin inserts on shaft doesnt look typical for cheap asian production and unusual to have 2 shafts for cheap player. comes...

Wow! my friend i didnt see this until now. Turned out great! Heck of a lot better and more accurate than trying to shim the legs to get it level.

Thanks Chris...makes sense. the cue is posted in Cue Reviews titled Need help IDing Cue. Pretty good quality cue. Kind of gives me a adams/stambolini vibe. shaft is dead nuts straight but forearm has some roll out.
