Kim, according to the web site, minimum order is 35.00. Just FYI. Alan

When is the due date?

Moori tips really soak up the glue. I would not be surprised to see a discolored layer next to the ferrule. I would not cut the tip off for a replacement either. Just my 2 cents, Alan Phelps Custom Cues

Greg, Thanks for posting your methods on here. I will try the acetone wipe on the next waxy that comes my way. Alan Phelps Custom Cues.

Been using Loctite Professional for a couple yrs now, and like it better than anything else that I've tried, mostly because of all the reasons that Royce mentioned. Gary, thanks for the batch code update, now I will be able to be assured that the new bottle is really new. Alan

Gary, I've wondered the same thing, and every original tip that I have cut off those hard to glue ferrules was held securely. SMH, Alan

The cheap ferrules from the imports that I have seen, (the ones that will not hold a tip) have a waxy look. If you see one of these, beware. I have not tried it, but maybe a solvent wipe on the facing would help. Kim, I agree with you, the fix for me has been a quality ferrule change. Alan...

Since I core handles and forearms, I always have some hollow wood laying around. I make a hollow tube like you described out of delrin about 3 to 4 inchs long. That goes next to the rings, then a cored whatever comes next. All this gets placed in a bar clamp for 24 hrs. Just a small rap on the...

My first thought was also cheap sandpaper. I'm guessing that the grit is not well bonded to the paper. Alan

Joe, I think it has been said there are only 2 types of cue makers. The ones that are allergic to cocobolo and the the ones that will be.... Alan Phelps Custom Cues

A joints with connecting screws are also a tenon joint. Leave the connecting screw in place, assuming it has not been bent. To remove it would alter the hit and feel of the repaired cue. Alan Phelps Custom Cues

The cocobolo really can do a number on me also. the last that I turned was heavy and oily. I was messed up for a week. I don't have a problem with tulipwood (as of yet). So I think it is safe to say that I am not allergic to all rosewoods and probably neither are you Neil. Just my 2 cents, Alan...

Here's a set of reversed woods, Kingwood and BEM. Breaker on the top, shooter on the bottom. My picture taking still leaves alot to be desired. Thanks for looking, Alan Phelps Custom Cues

Phelps Custom Cues is now the proud owner of the machine. Jim, thanks for your time and patience with my questions. Alan

She sure is purdy! What material is the thick ring at the top of the nose? Alan

I've always centered the middle of the carbide to the C/L of the lathe with good results. Since you have six cutters moving against the wood, I usually use a fairly fast feed rate on the carriage as opposed to a two cutter roughing pass. Alan

I have done it using an endmill in a dremel and turning the solid endcap in the lathe. With my limited reach endmill I had to bore from both ends to get the required depth, but it came out very well. Alan

Where's the fun in that? Alan

I would think a shed could be turned right away. Alan
