Good morning all, Looking for a butt with a 0.830 joint. Black collar if possible. Purpleheart would be perfect. Heh, might just want to have this made (grin.) Thx, ~Roy

I had someone PM me with one. I appreciate the looks at the thread. Regards, ~Roy

Good afternoon all, I need to buy a couple of OB1 Ferrules with the carbon pads. I need one for an old cue I am restoring (I like the wood ferrule look) and I would like to have one for backup. I did not find a way of ordering the ferrule on the website, only the carbon pads. Any help...

Got a little bit of a bonus with the new job and am wanting to buy Winning One Pocket or Shots, Moves, and Strategery =) Not looking for collector quality. I travel a lot and will be taking them with me on assignments. I'm a traveling Nurse. If no bites on the books then I'm going to have my...

Good morning gents, I need to buy a continuous length of 75 to 100yds of antique white irish linen to wrap a cue with. The wrap channel is elongated and a normal 50yd length will not do it. I really dont want to buy a full roll from atlas as I would have a whole bunch left over =) Can anyone...

Good morning Gents, Just wanted to know if anyone already offers a JCC maint arbor or if I needed to have one made. I see they offer aluminum joint protectors. I figured I could just have those turned down to fit my lathe if need be. I just need them for cleanings. I have researched prior...

Good afternoon everybody, I am getting ready to graduate Nursing School (second career, I'm retired Army) and am treating myself to the Basic Cue Repair Lathe from Mid-America as a present. I don't know if I'm more giddy of actually getting my real lathe (opposed to the Frankenstein I made...

Good morning Gents, Im making a set of JPs but need to get hold of a 5/16x14 tap. I really cant justify $40 from Atlas just to make myself a single set to match my case. Looking for a used one to buy. Heh, I'll even rent it from you =) Made my own case. Wanted to make my own Mesquite JPs...

Good morning Cuemakers =) While in the Army (years ago), I read somewhere about making a fullsplice blank by using a jig on a Tablesaw. Well, the bug is hitting me again on making my own fullsplice and I am older and better financed =). However, the bits and pieces I read on the net, now...

Good morning all. I thought this may be the appropriate place to post this. If not, just point me in the direction :) I am budgeting to get me a small lathe in Feb to use for tipping, ferrules, ect. I have been looking at a run of the mill Taig with self centering 3 jaw chuck. I already...

Good morning everyone =) I have a project I have been wanting to do for a lot of years and only now has everything presented itself to do it. I just wanted the Cuemakers opinions if what I wanted to do was feasible. Elbow grease and time I have plenty of... I still have the Mali I bought...

Good evening everyone. I couldn't figure out if this should go in the Mechanics section or not, so decided to post this here. I'm getting into the final stages of my restoration of a 1906 BBC Wellington (read that as probably only a year left as I work on her part-time.) She is absolutely my...

I know, I know, I know. You'all have told me to buy some for years, but I have always been an Everest man! Time came to replace a couple of tips this week (and I happened to see a thread on the milk-duds again) so I thought, why not? Best Decision Ever! Not only does Jeff make a stellar...

Good morning Carom Players :) I am a One-Pocket player and have been researching a shot that was demonstrated by Grady Mathews a few years ago that he called the Umbrella shot. He described it as the cue hitting 2 cushions, then OB, then the cue continues on for a desired result. I figured it...

Good morning everyone. I am looking to buy Grady Mathews: The Finishing Touch. I have found it online for 23 bucks plus shipping but would like to buy it cheaper if possible :) Figured I would post it here before ordering it from Seyberts. Regards, ~Roy

Good evening all. I have a bunch of Grady's DVDs and see him shoot the "umbrella" shot in a couple of the-one pocket videos. He generally shows how he shoots different "system" shots (mirror, 1 rail kick, ect.) but I haven't found an example of him explaining how he measures or sights this...

Good evening all, Just a question on CNCing a pre-existing cue. I have an Ebony into Birdseye sneaky pete with a Hoppe ring. I had the idea of having some "arrowhead" points cnc'd onto the tip of the ebony points. Is this possible to do on a cue that already exists? I know it would need...

Good evening all, Just came into an old OB1 shaft that I have cleaned up and repaired (lots of abuse but pretty again.) Wow. Shoots great! Anyway, planning on using it with an old sneaky I have but different pin (3/8x10 OB shaft vs 5/16x14 butt.) Would the better idea be to replace the...

Good afternoon all. Last night at 1am I decided to take a lesson from Hillbilly through his video series. Made the payment through Paypal and received the receipt email from paypal saying the transaction was complete. Directions from Hillbilly's site said I would also receive a second email...
