There are many cues that utilize 5/16X14 threads in their joint connections. Two of which, that I know of use a different pitch however. both the Schon and the joss thread is slightly a different size. Normal 5/16X14 inserts only go about half way onto the pin and then get very tight. Does...

A while back someone stated that they had some Palmer foil logo's for sale. I, being always somewhat in a disarray am looking for someone, much more analytical than myself (such as Joey) whom I'm sure has the thread locked away in his files. Much appreciated, Dick

Upon just watching the youtube clip about the durometer testing of a large number of ferrule materials including both GE and Westinghouse. Anyone saying that the GE or the Westinghouse micarta were anywhere similar in hardness must have been coming down from some kind of high. They may look...

A question for those on here who are using compressed air to spray their finish or general air usage in the shop. Just what are you doing to eliminate moisture in their system? I'm having a fit trying to get a good finish because of all the moisture. Any ideas on a cheaper, but still effective...

Anyone know the dimensions on this tool so that one can be fabricated? http://www.ozonebilliards.com/prp3wecakit.html I'm not paying that price to tighten one weight bolt. Thanks for any info if available. Dick

I have a brand new Uni-Loc radial tap that cuts the tighter fitting threads for shafts. I am looking to trade for a Uni-Loc tap that will cut the looser threads for the butt. This tap is brand new but I already have one this size. I paid 55.00 plus about 16.00 shipping for it. If no trades I...

Has anyone ever ran into a pin as this? Dick

Anyone have a Bludworth joint shaft tap that they are willing to sell? I'm on the hunt for one. Thanks, Dick

Does anyone have Dustin Cookson's e-mail address? I need some information on veneers. Dick

I don't know if it is everywhere in the country or just here in Cincinnati but Harbor Freight is having a 3 day weekend sale and they have their 6 inch digital calipers on sale for 9.99. That's 20.00 off their normal, non-sale price of 29.99. I bought 4 more sets to go with the 10 or so I...

When gluing veneer stacks up I normally use West systems and the 205 hardener. I've had no problems with this mixture but I've been reading that some are using the 208 hardener as it is thinner so can be absorbed better. I tried this yesterday and after dry I cut into strips and started routing...

I just took in a moochy Road Player to fit a Predator shaft onto and refinish. Upon looking at it closely, I can see that most of the scene is inlays, BUT, at the tips of the points there are small houses that look like they are Mr. Ed Wheat marking pen specials. Has any one refinished one of...

Anybody worked on a newer Schon lately? Does anyone know if their weight is easily changed with a bolt like many factory cues? Dick

I believe this forum has been going down hill for some time now. This forum was started just to give a place for new cue makers to ask a few questions when they run into a small problem that they haven't had experience with yet. Sort of to help them over the bumps. Also so that buyers can get a...

When did Atlas do away with their discount for online orders over 200.00 or am I missing something? The discount always paid for my shipping. Dick

I've never been a real big fan of Hubler's nylon inserts as they seem easily cross threaded and they dampen the feel of the hit some what. Years ago I tried making some nylon inserts to use but they never worked out well as they seemed extra tight after tapping them so I usually just used brass...

I've been spraying cues now for 20 years with cheap Harbour Freight and such gravity feed guns most of which are Chinese knock offs of the Sata brand of gun. I've read a number of times of fellows up grading their gun with great results so I've decided to buy me a new gun for my belated...

Any of you guys who sell leather wrap blanks happen to have one like this for sale? I've been to a number of sites but haven't found one with a similar color and embossing. I sure could use a couple. Dick

Has anyone had any experience with a 5/16X11 thread? Someone just brought in a older, looking to be a custom, sneaky pete cue, needing another shaft, with what appears to be a Southwest type of brass pin but smaller in diameter. The pitch appears to be the same or at least very close to the S/W...

O.K.. I just installed my first cork wrap and am unhappy with the final results. The wrap measured .033-.034 in thickness which is thicker than a linen wrap groove is deep. Instead of cutting the groove deeper and making the cue much harder to put on linen later if desired, I installed the wrap...
