    I'm generally most offended by people being offended about everything.

    Paper Veneers

    The paper is not expensive, per se, but the process is time consuming and takes a decent amount of additional adhesive (whatever your preferred type). Then, as I said, this can happen (apologies for the blurry photo, but I'm guessing you'll get the gist):

    so i’ve decided to make cues

    Well, not to sound too harsh, but it might not be the worst idea. If you watch CL and FB Market place you can at least buy a wood lathe with 36-40" between centers, generally for under $300. At least then you have something made to turn spindles instead of futzing around with drills and drill...

    Why don't you get a life? Rusty and bb are two of the most positive members here. Don't flick boogers at the nice guys.

    so i’ve decided to make cues

    I built my first cues on a wood lathe without a center steady. Drilling and boring was done with the cue being fed using the tailstock and a centering jig, which in some regards is a great way to do it--the rotation, vibration and flex of the cue are eliminated. Points were cut using a hand...

    Waxing the cue ball? WTF is Kaci talking about now?

    If the cueball were smaller, there wouldn't be room for the sixth ball.

    turn down shaft or buy new LD shaft?

    Always hollow and I don't know of any that aren't mostly filled with foam. A solid cf shaft would be much too heavy.

    Draw Shot Control Off a Rail – How to Manipulate Cue Ball Motion

    Probably because draw is tied up to ego and the dunning Krueger effect is in play. The people who need this likely believe they have great draw and can't learn anything new. Try uploading the video with a new title that plays to the ego. Something like, 'you know you have great if...'. We...

    Assembling A joint thoughts

    I stopped turning the tenon on either piece of wood after about my fourth cue. If I don't do a full core I build a separate tenon and thread both ends, leaving an unthreaded section in the center for alignment purposes.

    Paper Veneers

    Absolutely. The trouble is finding it in thin colors. I've used g10 for veneers in 0.040". They look awesome, but can chip... probably mostly because they kill carbide.

    STOOOPID Questions about "Cue Makers guild" YouTube & Cue Demon CNC

    I just looked at the two machines, yours (or at least the current offerings from i2r) and the Cue Demon. From a 500ft view, they are the same machine. From a few details: Your machine uses profile linear rails, the cue demon uses round rails. Huge advantage to your machine. Your machine has...
