    I gotta ask about Unique machines **NOT trying to purchase any additional machines**

    Ok pal first thing I WAS NOT "bashing" unique. I asked for someone to help me EDUCATE me on the major differences in price & quality of their machines "What purpose behind this post?"

    I gotta ask about Unique machines **NOT trying to purchase any additional machines**

    I started out looking for the how to's & what with questions probably in 09. At the time google and yahoo would only spit out Hightower, Porper or Unique machines. I instantly rejected Unique because it is incredibly cost prohibitive unless you are very serious and very very experienced cue...

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

    Oh dude, thank you. I have had a Hightower for maybe 4-5 years. I knew the I2R would have been fine for the inlay cavities and taper. The I2R definitely has applications for other projects that are not between centers. I make different gifts for retiring military guys. The reason I wanted to...

    Going to Australia, any interesting wood I can bring home?

    Check with US Customs. Maybe the USDA. While I was in the service we worked for them as customs and border clearence augmentees. You'd be amazed at how high some standards are. Troops could only bring back wood that was encased in acrylic unless it was military equipment they had brought with...

    Gun drill vs arbor

    I'm a hobbyist of building and repair. I've studied Chris's book and tried to absorb all I could in here without coming off sounding like an idiot.
