    McDermott Chops Cues

    For whatever it’s worth I noticed my chops cue and others are very uniform. It looks to me like they’re made from stock for boards that aren’t shaped out yet. Just flat plywood. I found when cutting up my son’s broken boards that getting the lines to be uniform is hard because these boards...

    McDermott Chops Cues

    So I’m working on 3 cues of this style. All are centered on the handle being from the skateboards. With forearm and butt being something else. The one pictured will have a purpleheart forearm and butt. Regular maple shaft. No inlays. Simple and basic design. I have another that will have...

    McDermott Chops Cues

    I’m making these myself. My son skates and his sponsors fund new boards when he breaks them. These won’t be as over the top as Chops. I’m also a hobbyist not a full time cuemaker so they’ll be on the more basic side of things. It’ll be a few months before any are done if you’re interested let me...

    Is there a way I can just cut a corner and buy colored rings from someone?

    Don't waste your time with Danny Castaldo of California on Facebook

    Yeah and let’s root out the shit. There’s nothing life threatening or wildly egregious here but god damn if basic integrity isn’t just a thing of the past. If I’m engaging someone for a purchase it’s a good faith engagement and this guy asked for information to send payment based on an agreed...

    Satin smooth butt material/finish?

    In relation to tung oil this is my belief also. I originally did finishes like that and it really worked best after you play with the cue regularly for a couple months. Let it interact with your hands. Body oil, little sweat, condensation from a drink etc. after a few months the finish mellows...

    We all have everything to do with it the moment the thread was made. That’s the point. I don’t come here to read your annoying analysis. I come here to pile on

    Searing Cue

    It’s obvious to everyone but you. If you get screwed by a nobody there’s no reputation at stake and no collective network that might know someone who’s knows someone who could possibly help get your property back. The garage guy is probably not attempting to make a living off his cues either...

    Searing Cue

    Cool story bro. This is like a Cheech and Chong drug deal. Only you smoked all the weed, passed out on the sofa and it was all a dream.

    Searing Cue

    Because a normal person would have said “I mailed your shit back, sorry, life got in the way. Apologies”. Instead we got everything but… “I mailed your shit back”. If he wants to come back and give you the clarity you need. Great. If he mailed his stuff. I and everyone else here will say…...

    Searing Cue

    Apologies are great. Be about it, don’t talk about it. OP does not want a 12 month promise to be made whole. The correct response should be. “Upon reading this I located your cue. I immediately shipped it back to you. Here is the tracking info”. That’s it’s. Just return the man’s...
