    Ok healing shaft in 3/8x10 modified joint

    The common inner diameter for 3/8-10 modified is .308 inch. It is best to bore out the hole on a lathe. Without a proper lathe, you could use a 7.8 mm drill bit, carefully letting the drill bit self center. Then you might still need a tap to clean up the threads.

    Where are all the CF butts?

    I have assembled a couple of butts from carbon fiber. I wanted to make a break cue with a 7 ounce shaft and overall weight of 18 ounces. The cue didn’t perform any better than my jump break cue. A friend tried the butt and loves it for regular play. I made a second one and with a titanium pin it...

    Tips that don’t require sanding to install

    I feel that CA bonds best with clean flat surfaces. When installing leather tips, like Ultraskins, I sand flat with 220, then apply a layer of CA. I let the glue soak in for a moment, spray it with accelerant then sand flat again before installing. It all takes time. And when sanding care must...

    Tips that don’t require sanding to install

    I install tips. For most tips, I sand them flat before installing. The Kamui Clear, Rhino Time Crystal and Caiden Fighter have flat glueing surfaces that install well without any sanding. Are there other brands out there that don’t require sanding to be flat? Leonard

    Help with opinions about O'Min, or Cueroc pool cues?

    I have a "tulipwood" O'MIN cue. It may have been made in China, I really don't know. As a hobby cue maker myself, I can say that this cue is very well made. I believe it does have carbon fiber tubing in the shaft and it has a stiff hit. The wood is not actual tulipwood but is like Diamondwood...

    Show off your Burl cues!!!

    I don’t know if this forearm qualifies as burl. It is from a very gnarly maple that I harvested. I stabilized it with black dye, I kept this cue simple, I was an experiment to see if I could make a built in telescopic extension.
