My brother had a neighbor that did put a funnel through the wall. He even built a little enclosure around it with saloon style swing doors for privacy. Got the job done!

I did watch this video and your other videos as well. You videos are very good!

I know many of you here have put on hundreds of tips. I am sure it is a wide range but ballpark how many tips would you do with a HSS cutting tool before you need to sharpen?

What do you use to sharpen your tooling? Will a knife whetstone work?

Yes I am new to this and I have watched a lot of videos which have been very helpful. I'm sure I will have many more questions as I keep learning on the lathe. There is a ton of knowledge on this site!

I wasn't aware of the Cuemakersguild videos. Thanks for the heads up. I put another tip on last night and everything is working great now. Thanks to all who gave me advise.

Thanks for the help. That took care of the problem.

Thanks for the help. I have it working well now.

Good advise. Thanks.

I just received my new Mid-American pool cue lathe. I set it up and was cutting the tip off of an old house cue to practice. Two issues. First the cutting tool is wanting to back off a little from the tip unless I hold the wheel that moves it forwards and backwards. Second it is leaving a...

One big change I have seen is the lack of pool halls in my area. I grew up in Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa. When I was a kid almost every little town had a pool hall. Snooker was very popular back then. All those pool halls are gone now. Sure we still have bars that will have a bar...

Thanks Jason. I will do that. Yesterday when I was searching for different cue lathes I was on some site that they had a support for sale for just that purpose. Of course I don't remember what the site was. LOL If I remember right they wanted something like 50 bucks for it.

Thanks for the info. I have looked at both Cuesmith and Mid-America lathes and they do look nice and are made in the USA but I just don't think I can justify spending that amount of money to just put a few tips per year on. I did try to search for used ones and there just doesn't seem to be...

Yes that does look very similar. Thanks for posting.

Do you have one that you would recommend for basic work?

Has anyone tried this little lathe? All I want to do is use for putting on tips and maybe a ferrule from time to time. Amazon has it for sale here...

Just ordered a new Littman light last week but was told it would be two months before shipment.

Played several games of 8 ball last night with the new shaft and played well with it. This was on a bar box at the local watering hole with friends. Had one break and run and for me that's a good night! This is my first CF shaft so I wasn't sure if I would like it. It is a little different...

We have a guy in our pool league that just grinds the chalk on. Sounds like he is calling turkeys. He does for about 5 to 10 seconds after every shot. His tips can't last long!

Thanks. I'm not sure that I will like it but at least if I don't I'm not out that much money compared to some of them. The great thing is if I don't like it all I have to do is put the maple back on!
