    Hand planing shaft?

    Very cool. Did you have a lathe or did you turn and taper your butts and shafts by hand?

    Hand planing shaft?

    I can't imagine anyone wanting a shaft like that in this day and age with machine technology as it is.

    Amboyna Burl Question

    Hi, I peck drill with my gun drill 1" at a time with a 3/4" x 1" relief on the exit end and never drill any wood over 400 rpm. Heat is not your friend. My individual philosophy is if a piece of wood requires stabilization, I won't use it on a cue. If you core Aboyna Burl at low speed with...

    Ebay ivory bans

    You can sell ivory cues on Ebay. You just can not mention Ivory. They have a search engine looking for the word ivory. If you say 36 genuine white inlays the cue will not be pulled. These are legal issues moving forward and ebay don't want to get involved with Federal Law Suits. It is...

    Tascarella ring

    Brown can not be matched unless you have material from the same lot run. It is not the CM's fault. All you can do is try to match as best you can. I have 4 different browns in stock and can get close on a lot but matching perfect is not going to happen without luck. If Pete will not do other...

    Leather wraps...Where do I start

    CR, As a start, you need to have cue without runout and wraps with consistant thickness. Without those two things it is a very tedious undertaking. The cutting of the tight tolerance wrap Goove is up to you but you can't go wrong buying your wraps from Martin at Superior Cues. JMO You need...

    weight verse energy transfer

    El CF, It's OK to call me out if it makes you feel warm a fuzzy. As I said, why post and then run away if you don't have time. What did you say your name was? Really? How do battery chargers blow up? Do they explode and turn into missile projectiles. What is your anonymous theory on...

    weight verse energy transfer

    ElCFrio, Re read the OPs question. It was directed at Cue weights and differences concerning different players. Conservation and transfer of energy are relevant to any pool shot but why do you make a statement and then run away. If you don't have the time to do so, why engage in the first...

    weight verse energy transfer

    It totally depends on the ability of the player. F=MA. Force equals mass times acceptation is the model. If a player has the ability to put a big move on a cue ball with a potential to reach 30 mph for example, he wants a light cue around 17 oz. Give or take. Light cues can accelerate...

    abalone help

    Mark, Duke of Pearl in Ca. I think his slabs are .070 thick. Yes carbide end mills work just fine. I use Envirotap cutting fluid on the table from Enco - no oil and Environmentally safe. Don't drop them on concrete, they break like glass. I learned the hard way. LOL Good luck, Rick
