Any Suggestions Cue Lathe Instructions

[pletho]

I am thinking about learning to repair cues it is something I have always wanted to do, I am not sure what would be the best cue repair/building lathe to buy, one that will last is what I am looking for/ portability would be nice also. But quality and durability are my main desires. Any suggestions on where to start or videos or books to learn from would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any cue makers who actually would consider training or teaching some things one on one in the midwest area? I live in Kansas City

If you really want to learn, see if your local cuerepairman would let you watch him replace a tip and ferrule on YOUR cue. Go from there. If you like it, then check into the videos.

You can cruise on up to Lincoln NE. I can show you a thing or two. We've actually kicked around the idea of having a seminar about cue repair/building. Something like a 3-4 day course. We have a motel right next to the shop......
