Hello all, I just attempted to taper my first sneaky conversion butt, and would kindly welcome a pointer in the right direction, as it didn't go too well. It was quite catastrophic 😆. I'm using a 4 wing carbide cutter in my router at 30k RPM, 800W, and while it cuts wood amazingly well, I...

Hello, So I placed an order for my 1st custom cue 2 months ago. I wanted a Diveney. Wrote Diveney cues in google, tried to find a contact, found diveneyq.com. Interesting, no email posted, just a facebook link with a phone number. Seeing as I'm from Europe, and to keep things in writing, I'll...

Hello, I'm refinishing my cue, went great, the only thing I was unable to do was keep the Hoppe ring snow white. No matter what I did, the cocobolo kept getting stuck inside the pores of the cloth (it's some kind of linen based phenolic, not sure which, the cue is a Mezz, I don't think it's...

Hello all, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this debate: Let's imagine a longer than standard cue, for this example, a 63 inch cue, assembled in 3 different ways, with the same total weight in each case: 1) 34 inch shaft + 29 inch butt 2) 30 inch shaft + 29 inch butt + 4 inch butt...

So, I bought a used Mezz, which has a few dents in the butt. I think it's just the lacquer that kind of got dented/chipped, and that it doesn't go deep enough to the wood. But then again I may be wrong. What do you suggest I do to fix them? I have access to a machinist lathe. Should I...

So I just picked up a WX700 with a cracked ferrule, and am wondering how would a professional repair it? I ask because I have an idea of turning it down on the lathe, cutting a left-handed metric thread on the cut-down cylinder (remainder of the cracked ferrule), cutting the matching left handed...
