I took a cue to build a shaft for it on Tuesday. It's in my basement with all the cues and shafts that I have. On Saturday, I was moving a few cues around and noticed some moisture on a wrapless. Odd, since February, not a problem, so I look at the ceiling, nothing. Then I noticed the...

I'll let the pics do the talking. 19oz 13mm UltraSkin "M" tip I believe this is the original finish and ferrule. Tiny nick in the finish, had to blow up the picture a few times to even see it No wrap. Butt rolls true Shaft has a little runout Wood is really figured nicely Brown rubber bumper...

When I was tasked with a SS joint conversion, I thought I had a fairly decent plan of attack...after my second try, I feel I did "ok". It's off to clear coat now and I will post some pics once its finished. As for "normal" cues, things are progressing quite well...so well, I'm hoping to buy...

I just started doing conversions on one piece cues three months ago. I'm no cue maker, nor do I claim to be and this isn't anything stunning. To me though, it means the world as my son watched me create this for him. This is, what I call, a "fancy" conversion, it's the first one I did. I'll...

I think my buddy has it down! This is the cue I'm converting for my boy. Added natural phenolic joint, ring and butt. I'm going to put a juma ferrule and UltraSkin skin tip on it, take the taper down a hair and then off to Alex! As for the clear coating process, the wood is cleared, wet...

The shafts are shot and the butts are in so so condition. A good friend of mine has a bunch of these and gave me two of the "worst" ones to mess with. Providing the butts are straight after I cut them in half, I was thinking a SS joint on one with black cap/joint rings and the other in juma...

The first batch of conversions came back from clear coat the other day. They actually turned out really good. My buddy is using automotive clear coat. A friend of mine bought a predator shaft and didn't have a butt for it, so he asked if I could make him one. There's another thread...

My youngest son wants my Schon or Samsara...he said either would be fine. Really? You're 13, very responsible kid, but I'm not cutting him loose with cues over 2k. So I offered to make one for him and he was thrilled. So off we go! Cut that baby in half and faced it off. Installed the...

I know Delrin is the trademark name for Acetal that DuPont uses, but is it the same or close enough to the same? I found a 60", 1.375" rod on Amazon for $30. I'd using it mostly for making collets and a few other tools that I have thought about, but would it hurt for actual cue construction...

I've been converting one piece cues, real maple ones, into sneaky petes and even a J/B cue...a prototype of sorts. Here's a pic of the J/B Cue. 15oz was way light, so I settled for 18. I made the butt portion a quick release by turning down the threads. i meed to take a few more threads off...

I'd like to get a bigger hand wheel for my lathe, Taig based, that runs the carriage back and forth. Can anyone tell me where to get them and what I need to get? I've found some online, but dimensions are nonexistent as well as compatibility.

They have some good prices on a lot of things, just couldn't find any reviews. Anything good or bad to say about them? http://www.sunshinebilliardsupplies.com/default.asp

You would think with all the hype and advertising, there would have been someone peddling any aiming system at the SBE. Not one booth, video or DVD did I see of any of the aiming systems being thrown around here. Any reason why?

I did a tip on a new cue, she only had it a week and didn't like the tip. So after I removed the old one and faced it off, I saw that the ferrule was thicker on one side. It's not much, but noticeable. Is this going to become a problem down the road structurally?

Case has been sold.

So I have my list of things to buy at the SBE and I'm really want to buy some blanks. Hightower has some nice ones, good price also, as does Prather. So I have some questions for those that have taken on a "blank" project. Are most blanks at a size where I can finish with sandpaper or do I...

Is there anywhere at the Expo one could partake in a cigar without going outside?
