I need someone to come over here and make me sandwich. I don't want to know where to get one, that's not what I'm asking,
i am interested in making them
its just hard without a lathe is all

Wouldn't let Baxter change the tire on my car.
I ordered a 3 piece set from him with coins; cost me over a hundo. What was delivered can only be described as turds with joint pins.
Unfortunately I agree. I paid $75 for a set and they were at best mediocre. I am sending psychic signals to Tony Layne and Anton Tanaka to message the OP about doing joint protectors.
I would try to direct you to the correct section, but you are not looking for recommendations.
My name ( for what it's worth :frown: ) is Alton Takata.
I live in a Grass shack in Kealoha , Hawaii.
The Kealoha State.
People.. :smile:
I am retired.
I do not make JP's.
I used to make them.
Not anymore. ( Only for a few "Friends".. :smile
No money in making JPs.
That is why your cuemaker will not make them.
Since your here, here's a nice Cue Cap :smile:

With all due respect, who needs joint protectors anyway? I mean they look cool and everything, but has anyone ever abused their cues that much that the pin got screwed up? I pretty much abuse my cues and I've never ever had a problem with messing up a pin. I get it especially if you have a high-end cue and it completes the set, probably makes for an easier sell too. Just my two cents.
you could stop right there
none of it is needed, you can play top pool with a house cue
but we spend the money cause its addicting, and cool :wink:
From a wide variety of manufacturers, here are hundreds to choose from, for any non-metric type of thread joint:

You're correct. Boys like their toys tricked out.
Left a poolhall one night with my cue case strapped over my shoulder. I opened the car door and flung the case in. Like an idiot I didn't have the top hasp secure and my cue slid out and hit the pavement, screwed up the joint collar and bent the pin. I don't remember leaving the top of the case loose, but I sure remember that sound of my cue bouncing around in the dark. I use joint protectors now, but I also double check to make sure I close my case every time. And I'm practical, so I buy the cheap black plastic kind. They serve the purpose.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I know it's over the line but I'm going to make a recommendation. OUCH!
This guy made mine but has a lot of off the shelf

Reread post. He doesn't want recommendations. :rotflmao:
Nice looking stuff. The only problem I ever had with purchasing Joint Protectors like those
is that they seem kinda pricey, but I suppose that if I was making something as detailed
as those that I intended to see I might charge something for them. I generally make my
own. I find some wood or a deer horn or some nylon or plastic, something that I like and
I turn them out. Some are really an experiment and make me laugh, and some turn out kinda nice.
I like the stuff that the real craftsmen do, like on the website, it just seems like a lot to spend, but they do look nice.
