Is that a Model M on the bench???
Yes Sir
By far, one of my most challenging restorations to date. I kept everything original, epoxied the broken pieces back together except for the obvious broken butt cap and M. O. P. Rings at the -A- joint. New joint screw and stainless joint. Made a cup holder for each piece in the bottom, bored it and epoxied phenolic rings under them for consistancy in re-fitting them. I look back and smile now but the challenge almost broke me.
Fantastic work Mike. That is absolutely stunning. Your craftsmanship, and repair abilities, never cease to amaze. Truly phenomenal job!

Thank you Gentlemen. I start with positive thoughts and hope for the best. In my customers letter, he just asked for me to do what I could.
Nice work,
You should take pride in the final outcome of those cues.

Thank you
The original taper of the joint was .028. I did a pass and made the taper match the cue. I lost .005 at the end.
Unless the joint has been replaced, it's likely to be nickel silver, given the vintage. It shines up well, looks beautiful.
All the best,
