Hopefully that's not the price on my cue . My pockets are deep but unfortunately the only thing at the bottom is lint. LOL!:eek:

No kidding.
I need sarcasm fonts.
I was just kidding.
I draw on Autodesk Inventor to get my jigs made . From Inventor, my drawings are imported to a CAM software. Editing is done on that, then the g- codes are created for the cnc.
I just had jigs made and it took 6-hours for the cnc shop to work on my jigs.
That after I spent days in drawing them.

What are you drawing? All you do is glue three pieces of wood together . :grin:

With CNC, you can whip out the cue in minutes.
You just hit the magic button.

:lol: That button never seems magic when I'm the guy hitting it.

IMO I think its funny that nobody asks , how does it play, what's the hit like ? Inlays are decoration , some instances less than a 1/16 deep . Doesn't make the cue stronger , nor do you feel the hit better , mostly just makes the cue cost more . I'm old school . IMO making a cue that plays solid with lotza feel is the art . Looks don't make the balls go in , it's more of a mine cost more than yours deal , more dollars than sense ... I have done inlay using pantograph and cnc , a lot of work FOR SURE . Go ask a machine shop what their machine time costs , high $$$$$$$$$ . IMO I like old school and I like to let the wood do the talking , good wood makes a good cue , not inlays ...:eek:;)It is a hell of a cue , I think I'd rather blow it on some land ...

To each their own. I like my cues to look pretty too. the little bit of extra spent on a nice looking cue isn't going to change my lifestyle, and every since the very first cue I bought, I've chosen ones that both hit awesome, and looked good. I will admit, I've purchased one cue that simply hit so good I could not put it back on the shelf, and it was as plain as a sneaky-peet. But for the most part, I like pretty cues. Damn the cost.
 
Clever advertising. The price is probably negotiable. I'd like to see more full customs from Pechauer. I greatly respect that they have making cues for a long time.

Really? The hit? Why arent you making cues out of plain old sraight grain maple instead of buying what appears to be 100% premade, decorative components? Your not selecting the finest woods, experimenting with construction techniques, etc. Nope!

What you are doing is securing your place in history as Mr Nobody....your actually doing quite well at that without much effort.
 
Hey forget MasterZ. U can get this one of a kind cue from Budget Cues for only $45K. That's a $5K savings over the original Pechauer direct price. And that's a neat trick of having such a one of a kind cue available for sale from 2 different dealers.
 
man it's a beautiful cue but for that money I can buy a brand new challenger RT and stick 20 grand in the bank my way makes more sense I think.
 
Well

No matter what the cost still just a Pechauer from CnC that would be easy to remake on a CnC

No trying to dog it out it's cool but still just production to me
 
I like CnC cues.....Josey, Cogs, Volmer, BB, almost every other cuemaker who does fancy inlay work. CnC does not necessarily mean rounded points. It just depends on the cutter size and the talent/skills of the cuemaker.

A CnC is just another woodworking tool, for the cuemaker. The quality of product that comes off it depends on the talent of the guy operating it, and the time they are willing to put into it, as well as the money for the really small cutters that they break all the time, etc.

...but $75k for a Pechauer is a little over the top. I wouldn't pay a cent over $71,835.82 for the cue....

If I were to build that cue I think it would be a life time project. At my age it would never get finished.
