Does anyone have a source for a Cuetec pin and tap. It is kinda of a bastard english/metric thing. It's close to 3/8-14 but that is not actually what it seems to be.

So I have a carbon shaft blank that is less than perfect. Good news is that the warp seems to be right around 20 in from the tip end. I am thinking trying a travelers cue with it. Two tough parts. A. The reverse tapered plug needed at the south end of the first joint. My best guess...

Any good Kiridashi knife but you need to know how to sharpen them, and you need to sharpen it after every tip. They are as simple as knifes get, but sharpening is an art. If not done correctly expect a mess. Practice or find someone that has a lathe and experience. Don't learn on anything...

my apologies then it went right past me

I don't post often, as as a hobby cue builder there is a lot to learn here and many different ways to accomplish any given task. I may not agree with all opinions, but in most instances they are all valuable in their own way. However your opinion just broke the laws of physics. You could...

Any updates on when these may be back in stock?

Be a little careful, I can't speak on the butt as it looks legit to me, but two of the shafts actually have different ring work than the other two. And, none of them actually match the ring work on the butt. If you count the colored veneers you will see they are not all the same. Two have 4...

The first six you listed are all just to protect the ferrule (at least originally). They do tend to soften the hit, or soften the tip a bit, but this is a little subjective feel wise. Obviously the thicker the pad the greater effect this may have. However it is still a bit subjective as...

That is exactly what I am looking at doing. I would prefer to keep the top shaft joint just wood to wood faces, but I understand why you went the route you did with the rings. I am looking for either G10, or titanium threaded rod at this point. I would prefer to not have the bulk of the...

So, I have recently had to travel a lot for work. Air travel with pool cues is a pita so I have been thinking about building myself a nice version of one of these https://www.amazon.com/McDermott-Star-SG1-Portable-Billiards/dp/B01JD3SXK8 I have built a handful of cues at this point so most of...

I have been doing this for around a year now for my friends and family cues. Haven't quite got out of the experimenting stage yet. I have learned that the longer the carbon fiber tenon is, its controls the stiffness, and flexpoint in the shaft. However I am still trying to find the right...

Your second picture shows it all. The thread is only going into the ring section if the insert., and not the rest of the way. Thus you have 100% of the axial force of the break going into just the section of threading between the ring part of the insert, and the actual insert into the maple. I...
