I am an avid pool player and just bought into a company that makes LED lighting so I thought it would be good idea to merge the two and create some cool new pool table lighting options. I figure what better place to start than here on AzBilliards :) We have started making several pool table...

I have an older Falcon cue which must be closing in on 20 years old at this point. I like the cue and plan to keep using it but I would love to get my hands on a quick attach extension for the butt end. I see a lot of the newer cues all come with their own custom extensions for a fee. I don't...

Hi all, I have decided to get totally out of the cue repair and cue making business and I am going to sell off all my equipment, stock. I have invested somewhere between $8000 and $10,000 I would say in everything and I would love to sell it to someone who would use it this business if I get...

Hi, I'm still setting up my 13X40 lathe and as fate would have it a lathe comes up for sale just a couple blocks over from me and I play poker today and make enough to buy the thing. My question, although I'm short on specifics the lathe is smaller, probably 24" between centres or close...

Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up my first lathe. I've done a lot of it but now that I have it cleaned up real well and lubed up I checked out the runout and it was really off (like 20 thou). The lathe is new so wear is not an issue, next I removed the chuck and indicated the backing...

Hey everyone, I'm having a little trouble finding my center... I bought a live center from ebay and it wasn't a super cheapie but its very difficult to turn the center, I think it will act more like a dead center in wood rather than a live center without adding too much pressure to start it...

Hi Everyone, Well, I sold my cuesmith deluxe and picked up a chinese 13X40 lathe a couple weeks ago, and decided NOT to try to lug it downstairs (actually convinced my wife to let me insulate the garage and turn it into my shop :D ) Its been interesting so far getting everything I need...

Hey, does anyone have any experience moving a Lathe down a set of stairs. I'm picking up my lathe this weekend and would ideally put it in my basement to use. at 1300 lbs its a little more than getting a few guys together with a case of beer event :) . Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks, Matt

Hi all, Has anyone bought or tried a central machinery lathe from HF. I am looking at a 13x40 which is essentially brand new and selling for about 2/3's the price of new. I don't have access to much where I live so getting a good used lathe is pretty tough. Just wondering if the cheap price...

Hi everyone, A couple years ago I made a bunch of horse jumps for my wife because her new riding facility didn't have any. Well, as it turns out, a few other people have seen them and want me to build them jumps. I have to paint these jumps so I figure this is a good time to use the profits to...

Hi, I'm pretty new to any joint pin work and I got a dufferin cue in with a broken pin and area I need to replace. The pin itself is 5/16-14 but has a break in the thread. anyone know where I can pick up a pin like this? Here is a picture of the broken one If not can I use a regular steel...

Hi everyone, I had a customer bring me in an old brunswick snooker cue today. Really nice cue he has been playing with it for the last 20+ years. the problem about two years ago it "warped". Well, its not warped ... the joint pin is no longer straight. I've only done tips, ferrules, and wraps...

Hi all, I just have a question about tiger products sniper tips. Most of the layered tips I've received have a side that says glue on them or something but the sniper tips are black on one side and leather on the other. What side should I be installing onto the cue? and if its the black do I...

Hi everyone, I am happy to announce that my cuesmith deluxe has arrived, is being set up as you read this and I will soon be knee deep in cue dust :P My question, I have read 100 articles on tips, which ones to use, how to put them on, etc... Well, my first customer (sort of) came to me today...

Hi, looking back I think I asked about twelve things too many in my last post. I'm just making my first purchase from atlas but I am a little confused about the different ferrule materials that they list. I want to get what I'll need to supply any clients that come my way. I don't know of a...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the input so far into what kind of lathe I needed and equipment. All your replies have been very helpful. I've bid and won a cuesmith deluxe lathe with all the trimmings and then some from ebay. It should be shipped tomorrow so I am very eager. I was going to...

Hi everyone, Well, barring an amazing price coming back on a JET 13x40 lathe, I think I am decided on getting Chris Hightowers deluxe cuesmith to start repairs and what I hope to be a long and fulfilling journey into building my own cues. I have plodded my way through the forum, searched...
