I have a blade rest I made from a piece of aluminum from Home Depot. Use it now and then. Not sure how your lathe works. Couldn’t find a video of one and from the pictures it looks like it can only work on the first inch or two with that block in the way. The radius tool just goes in the tool...

Cool! I had forgotten about that game. A friend had one I remember playing. Get Smart is a great bonus.

This is what I have always done. I don't really care if one or two companies don't require or recommend sanding, it only takes a couple seconds so what does it hurt? BSTS, sanding is just good insurance it is flat. Prepping with CA definitely helps with leather tips and will always do this...

I am using this one. Works well. I like it better than using a blade, just keep the cutter sharp. I use a quick change post so it is very easy to use. Cuemaker Supply also has one that also uses a cutter but on the y-axis. no experience with that one. not sure how it mounts...

That was cool... Thanks

I ordered the wheels (ebay or amazon) I couldn't find wheels wide enough in the diameter I wanted, so I faced off one side to remove the rounded edge and put two together to make a wider wheel. They have bearings so they are bolted on tight. Working good so far. Porper's linen press looks like...

So close to a run out!

Thank you. Still learning but I really enjoy the process.

I have a custom built IKEA desk… Seriously no, this is not useable for cue making. Technically wood but no, not cue material.

I also used to use a Pechauer Pro. I put a Tomahawk vault plate style ferrule (a little longer than normal but I figured I could cut it down if I want to later) with an SIB soft tip. Loving it so far.

Yes! Purpleheart break shaft, black Tomahawk ferrule, and a white phenolic pad. Love that thing!

Just switched from a Samsara to a C4 Break/Jump tip recently. They do come in different crazy colors, but also plain black if you don't like crazy. Breaks better and I like the feel of the break better too. Holds chalk better too.

That’s why I bumped it. https://www.siblayeredcuetips.com/

Link below. I use a small iron now but either works the same. https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/need-advice-for-refinishing-maple-shaft-and-shaft-maintenance.559406/post-7689894

white diamond broke great, I just hated the feel of it. I’ve use Bulletproof and Samsara and liked them a lot. Just switched to the C4 tip and I think it might stay on there a while.

Pechauer has a great warranty, and great customer service. The couple times I used it, there was no friction at all. Heard the same from others too. I currently have seven that play great.

I don't see the difference myself. I focus on the tip of the tip and ball. I switched from an Ivory Ultraskin to a Blue SIB (C) and didn't notice a thing. but like every other part of the cue (debated throughout AZB) it's personal preference. (A and B) are the same shaft. shortly after making...

Hey Kim can you elaborate on the Aluminum pin? Is there a problem in general or just breakers? My breaker currently has an aluminum 3/8-10M pin, and I have had no issues so fare. I have not tried a G10 yet. Scott
