Off the bench at the Armadillo Custom Shop. Designed to be a 1 butt 3 shaft modified envelope case. I designed this because i have mostly custom cues with 2 original shafts and my favorite playing shaft. You can put 2 butts one joint end up and one joint end down and 2 shafts but really tight. I...

Looking for the cue Sherm made for Cornbread Red about 25 years ago. It has Cornbred Red in the buttsleeve. He offered to sell it to me not long before he passed. I didnt have the money at that time. Would like to find it for sentimental reasons. I will pay a finders fee also if i can locate the...

Should all Ivory and bone ferrules be tapped and capped? Also, is 1/8" cap enough to prevent cracking? Would a G be better than F to prevent a crack due to pressure of tapping? Thanks!

Does Joss use 5/8x11 or 5/8x18 SS joint? I know it probably wouldnt be 3/4x16 to thin walled but not sure. Thanks

Could be due to sitting in a old cue rack with the black rubber holders or felt for years and the color has absorbed into the wood. Dont know. It is original shaft and straight so i dont want to replace it. Is there a way to restore it? Is there a way to bleach it or something?

The ones that has the i think 8/32 that screws onto metal tenon. turns orangish yellow but cleans up white.

Just wondering what cue specs do you prefer? Are you still trying or purchasing cues to find your perfect specs? How long did it take you to come to the conclusion this is what fits my playing style and preferences? Well It has taken me 30 years to come to a conclusion. I have owned about 50...

‘93 unknown custom cue. Looks like it was made from a Southwest Satin or a real good copy from the cut of wood, taper of the butt and length of the wrap. Butt is dead straight.. Great hitting cue. Friend of mine obtained the butt without a shaft from someone and he just recently had Joe...

Just wondering approximately how many 1.25" 13.25mm ferrules can you get out of a cue ball? I know you will have to account for thickness of cutting tool. Also, would it make a difference if it was ivory? 5 possibly?

For Ringwork which should i use? Is one better than the other when turning? Dye comparison?

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.

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...

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...

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...

Anyone know what company or cuemaker that made cues with SS sleeve over brass with brass 5/16x18 pin? The cue appears to be from 70"s to early 80"s. [/URL][/IMG]

Got this cue online from around Chicago area. It has no identification name or logo. I believe it to be around late 70's or early 80's. it is in new condition. Reason i think its from that era is from the brass pin, bumper and 57" length. looks to be American Curly Ash with white with black...

Ok, I ordered some strips of Neoprene 60 and noticed they also had Neoprene 60 that was nylon infused. Figured what the heck give it a try. The nylon is woven in a diagonal checkerboard pattern in the neoprene. When i got it i noticed that the nylon infused was more stiff and harder to cut...

Just had few questions. I bought a Olhausen at a steal of a price for 9'. So since it is still unassembled im going to extend the subrails and cut the pocket mouths by about .75" The corner pockets are 142 or 53 cut from bottom of subrail and looks like about 104 or 14 cut on side pockets...

Just looking for some info on this Mali. Maybe a cue brochure or something identifying the age and model number. I had a Mali in the early 90's. I had only seen them with 5/16x14 pins and 3/810. This one is 5/16x18. The joint is i guess brass but it has the luster of stainless steel. The wrap i...
