Hello everyone. I have changed position at work and will be moving back to CT and reasonable real estate prices. As such, I should have room for a table, unlike now where my wood shop ate up all the romm in the basement... I would like a pro 8 (8.5) or 9 footer. 8 or smaller is not what I am...

Hey guys. It's been a while since I posted because I'm moving again.:mad: Basically just got my house completed after owning it less than two years and I got a new position within the company so I am moving back to CT! Probably be in the area spanning Woodbridge to North Haven, so I mention...

I realized something today, that maybe others have or have not noticed, but I felt compelled to bring it to everyones attention. A few minutes ago I was looking at a cue for sale here made by a maker I respect. While reading the ad, I noticed a great deal of effort and detail regarding the...

Just another random question that crossed my mind. It seems that in some cases everyone is trying to out-do one another with more and more exotic/different/innovative/complicated inlay work. A beautiful piece of well-figured (or just exceptionally clean) wood is all but obscured by inlay. Is...

I was just thinking. A lot of us members here have several cues. Many from famous makers with fantastic value attached to them. You might play with a few, and simply admire, collect (whatever) the others due to their rarity, or value. Some collectors don't really play much, and simply...

So I had a good score on eBay recently, and I just had to brag a bit.:) The fiancé just doesn't get it, so she has trouble getting excited over such things... I have been looking for a good quality Radial Arm saw for a few months now. We had one in the guitar shop, and it was the one thing my...

Good morning, Gentlemen! I am looking for some West System epoxy (with slow hardener). I can order it new from anywhere, but thought if someone had some they didn't want, or they changed to a different epoxy, I could take it off their hands. Alternately, who has the best price on it new...

I hope we have all seen "The Hustler" by now; probably most of us own a copy (or two) as well. Anyway, the case that 'Fast Eddie' uses in the movie- I think it was either suede or Velvet covered (hard to tell in B&W) which had a woven (leather?) handle. He puts it up on the shelf when he goes...

Well, I've been saying I'd post up these pictures for a while, but here they finally are. During my move I found my old full-splice blank which I made into a cue finally. BUT, while moving the guitar shop equipment, I just recently found a bunch of other splice parts that I had completely...

By that I mean, Maple, Ebony, Walnut and Mahogany (among others if available) as opposed to dyed colored veneers? I am interested in using naturally colored wood in addition to dyed veneers, like the Titlist for example. Thanks in advance. Also, for those doing 'paper' veneers between the...

A nice Titlist tribute by Ariel for sale. Purple, Turquoise, Brown, Natural veneers around Ebony points. Veneer stacks in the white phenolic rings which are bordered by nickel-silver; also similar veneer stitch/silver rings in the butt sleeve and above the black linen wrap. I had planned to...

Hello, fellow AZers. This is the Howard I won in the raffle a few months back. I used it one night since winning it, and it is a fine playing cue, although a bit short for my preference. I also spoke to Rick today, to verify some things to be sure what I say this is, is what this is. And it...

So I had a thought this morning. I know, it is a RARE occurrence, but once in a while a synapse fires... Anyway, I was thinking about the game of pool, and how the global market place may have had an impact upon it. So my question/thought is: how do you think the game would be affected if...

Good morning Gentlemen. I have a quick question. I am finishing up my Titlist project and currently have it at final taper. After I was satisfied with the taper and finish, I sealed the cue with Cyano to hold it and keep it clean until I could polish the pearl and apply the 'real' finish. I...

Well, I have been keeping busy, and last night I was able to take some passes on my Titlist project. I feel that the Titlist conversion is one project that every up-and-coming cue maker simply must complete. The feather in the hat so to speak. All the 'greats' have done one or several...

:) Well, I'll tell you. Besides firing my mortgage broker and fighting with him to have him release some documents to my new lender, not a whole lot. I have been thinking about a new tool I needed, and tonight finally got around to making it. How do you accurately replicate a (straight) taper...

Hello everyone. I have a project I am working on. it is top secret, but since no one reads the posts on this site anyway, I guess it's OK to mention it here.:wink: Top secret project BOSs (for Brunswick Old School) is where I take a Titlist house cue and make the butt, and a pair of...

I have a slow moving Joss raffle open right now (see my signature) but I also have a set of low-grade Aramith balls that I was saving for when 'bangers' wanted to play to preserve my nice, expensive ball sets. Anyway, you only live once, and I'm a nice guy, so I'm figuring to just let everyone...

For a cue wrap. I have seen the offers for the textured black leathers; however I want the old-style smooth black calf skin leather for my wrap. If you have a piece (or two in case I screw up) please let me know. I have a template. Thanks!

Hi Guys. I have an older 18" (maybe 10-15 years old now) Delta band saw I used when I was making guitars and was thinking of using it for full-splice blanks. Unfortunately, that is not possible now, because the saw is a giant stinking POS. I used the table saw when I made my first blank and...
