Veneers are black, green, orange, green and orange. Many pearlescent inlays and a white hoppe ring. This is a very...

    Logan lathe question

    I was thinking about picking this one up:http://hartford.craigslist.org/tls/3520241574.html Any thoughts? The specs I found for this model put the distance between centers at 36", but I also found some info which put it at 31". The spindle bore seems good. I am very inexperienced with metal...

    Philosophical question

    So I have built around a dozen cues so far, and I'm still kind of new to the notion of having people out there using cues that I made. The other day I heard that a local player freaked out and smashed the cue I made for him. I am a little surprised at how upset I am over this- after all, he did...

    Wrap motor question

    Hello Cue makers, I was thinking about using the wrap motor on my deluxe cuesmith to spin cues slowly while my epoxy sealer cures. Is there some sort of rheostat or controller I could use to keep the motor at a constant speed? Would this setup overheat after 40 minutes of continued use? Any...

    ring proportions

    I am building a plain jane which will have ringwork at 5 spots. My question is: Should I change the thickness of the rings at each spot to be proportionate with the taper? So far I have only installed the ring at the a joint. Do any of you do this? Should the slots in the ring also "grow"...

    Stitch ring question

    I am attempting to make a matching shaft collar for an old Helmstetter cue. The original has 16 slots in it. My index has 24 holes. Is there a way to cut 16 slots? Could I cut 8, then re-index, then cut 8 again? Is there an obvious solution that I am too dense to see? Any advice would be...

    For sale: Tony Zinzola birdseye player. The cue comes with one Zinzola shaft at 12.72 mm and 3.5 oz, and one 314 shaft with matching ring work at 12.5 mm and 3.4 oz. Neither of these shafts are original to the cue, so they don't match perfectly at the joint, but not bad. The butt weighs...

    radial tap issue

    I am having an issue trying to tap a new shaft with a radial tap. I have successfully used this tap before, so I'm not really sure where I'm screwing up. Anyway, I had the shaft chucked up on the small end, with the joint end in a collet in a ball bearing steady rest. Everything seemed very...
