ok so I have this guy what wants me toe reproduce these two joint collars on to some sneaky peats. (he bought out Danny Veighs when they went out of business so he has I believe fifty of just the shafts with no butts) And it looks pretty straight forward I think. it looks like I can buy the ring here. http://www.muellers.com/BlackandBrass-8-Pair-Dash-ShaftandJoint-Ring,7662.html and I can get the brown phenolic here, http://www.cuestik.com/store/product.asp?DEPARTMENT_ID=106&ITEM_ID=5890. but i am missing the colored rings and the regular wood rings. Could anyone do me a favor and check these out and make sure these are what I'm looking for.
Now I'm guessing the regular wood rings are maple, but are the colored rings maple as well that is just died and if so where can I get maple that has been died that color.
Second question is (and I know we can't discuss it on the main boards but someone can message me) what should I charge per stick. He is looking to buy a bunch of cheap $25 sneakys, Have me reproduce the colors on them, then either put inserts in these to make them work with the new sneakys or change the pins in the sneakys to fit this shaft. I have decided the inserts will be way easier so that is the rough i will go. But I'm still stuck on how much to charge per collar.
I know the ring is 2.65 and the brown phenolic will probably run a buck a foot. And I'm guessing getting either die and wood or getting died wood will cost me a small fortune. so I'm guessing after everything is all said and don't i will be into each collar less than ten. But i have never done a job like this to know what i should charge?
As usual any help wold be appreciated and thanks in advance. George
