Cheap lathe. Bigger learning curve. Good lathe. Easier learning curve.

If spraying I used to call it a mist coat. I think I once heard a paint and body guy called it that. But a lot of cuemakers do not spray, so I just put a thin seal coat.

First use a thin seal coat of finish that does flow. Let that dry then do flow out coats.

I have a 16 inch Grizzly that I have had for years. It is a good saw. I got a Jet and it seems to be a little better.

Why would I name him on here for something he did many years ago?

My son was told after the match that while he had gone to the bathroom the guy took a cloth out of his case and cleaned the cue ball with it. The guy totally changes his style of play to zero draw shots and my son is miscuing when drawing. I am 99% sure he waxed the cue ball.

It is not a baseless accusation. The guy waxed the ball.

My son went to the bathroom during a match against a pro in a pro tournament. While he was gone the pro player took a cloth out of his case and cleaned the cue ball with it. After that the pro just used stop shots and follow the last couple of games while my son was missing and even miscuing...

The light glare on the cue is very hard to get rid of.

I built a few with flat faced A-joint with steel screw way back and some buzzed when tapping the side. So I quit that in a hurry. I don't think anyone has mentioned it so far, but two male tenons with steel screw going into a short phenolic collar makes a very solid A-Joint. If I only built...

Joss also did it for a while. I sold Birdseye butt blanks for a while that a Mill spliced up for me that way. It is a good method, but always required a wrap to cover it up as I did not like the look of it too well. Wrapped cues started losing popularity and the supplier got out of the cue wood...

If the cue is getting a wrap it is normally stronger with tenon going into the forearm. Because the wrap groove is thinner than the forearm. But if it is not getting a wrap and using equal strength handle and forearm woods it should be stronger with tenon going into the handle because the...

Schmelke has always had a good solid reputation.

If all those decimal endmills had .150 length flute you could just change the bit to make the pocket bigger.

They make some nice 4 x 8 cases that have built in wheels. That is what I used to use.

I carry a 6 butt 10 shaft case. I bought a little luggage dolly and attached it to it. My 4 x 8 case was just not enough as someone who needs two cues to play with and a few to sell.

That is a very nice set up.

Asian import from probably 1960's or 70's. The value is mostly sentimental.

I like this for steel beds but not for anodized beds.

I also now have weight bolts for Predator and Cue Tech.
