Couldn't resist. Thought I would show my case since in the last post someone wanted to know what the scuffer looked like. I do have an neat cue in the case. Will show pics of it later.... Hope you guys enjoy the pics :smile:

Just a guess but maybe Adams??? Recent eBay purchase, I really liked the design. 8 Points (4 high 4 low) with MOP dot on each large one. Neat ring work. Not sure what you call the MOP shape on the butt sleeve... a cog? Pin is 5/16" x 18.

I know the following: The Hustler (1961) The Color of Money (1986) Poolhall Junkies (2002) The Twilight Zone Ep. A game of Pool (1961) The Honeymooners (I forget what episode) What am I missing?

Missing the bumper. Pin is 5/16" x 14. Thanks in advance:)

It has 2 short points and 2 long points. Wrap was removed. The pin is 5/16" x 18. The writing on the point looks like it was added on top of the finish then maybe clear glue added on top of it. Any ideas would be great.

Any ideas on this one?

I gave this machine to my father. I was just curious though, could this sort of machine be useful in a cue making shop? Its 2 HP and has 1/4" & 1/2" collet. The motor can be mounted above the table (pictured) or below the table. The foot peddle moves the table upward for pin routing.

As I am ever so slowly collecting tools to one day give cuemaking a try (as a hobby). I recently aquired a lathe, so now I thought I would look for a pantograph. Are cuemakers still using these? What should I look for in one? Table size? 2d or 3d? Ratio needed? Any other tips/advice?

Here are a few pics. Any ideas or even guesses would be great. Thanks in advance.

Imagine attaching that variable speed motor to a taig or sherline. Just bought this neat old lathe to add to the collection of vintage tools. Its not a cue lathe but I though you guys might get a kick out of the old variable speed motor. Its made by Hobart Bros. Troy, OH. Motor is Variable 1...

I was cleaning out my fathers shop a couple of weeks ago and came across a neat device for the lathe. I think its a die grinder holder. It mounts to the compound just like a tool post would. I believe its for the grinder in the second picture (I do not own one yet). My question is can they use...

This is what happens when you have to much time on your hands. Seriously though, before spending all this money on specialty equipment. I would like to experiment a bit to make sure its something I enjoy (looking at this as a hobby only). Basically I dont want to be one of these guys spending...

Anyone know who does that kind of work? Also, would this case be worth saving? The outside is ok, but the interior needs to be redone.

The last owner thinks it was an old Adam. I tend to agree but I am not that knowledgeable and would like more opinions. I noticed in the "book" that Adam cues are well documented and I dont see this model listed. If it is an Adams is it a custom order or something? The pin is 5/16" x 18. I...

(1/4", 5/8" or 3/8") carbide lathe bits, say a set of 10 with a good mix of profiles. One set is the standard China/Taiwan found on ebay or any machine tool dealer for approx 15.00 dollars. The other set is the same except there old stock USA made (from a good company at the time, ex...

This cue has great craftsmanship to it and has that old Hoppe style look to it. But its just in to good of condition to be very old. The finish is perfect. I dont think it is CNC since the points dont all stop at the exact same hight but very close. Thats just a guess, I have never owned a CNC...

I think this is a Rich cue but the 3 green rings in the butt sleeve are different. All the rich cues I have seen these rings are all the same size. This one has 2 large outer ones and a small inner one. Does anyone know of a Rich example like this cue. The pin is brass 5/16" x 14. The cue came...

So I decided to start a new hobby and learn how to make pool cues. I know its not easy but I enjoy a good challenge. I am approaching this very slowly and have no desire to rush into it. I bought Mr. Hightowners book & videos and I also have a couple of Mr. Barringers DVD's as well. I plan on...

Hi there everyone. Please check out my action. I dont normally post items here that I am selling but this is such a nice piece. Click me! Thanks for looking.

Got this nice old picture at an auction a few weeks back. Thought I would share it with you guys. Its a bit water stained but still quite nice. It says "one to go" at the bottom. Billiard Picture
