Cue Building Cost to Start?

Hard Knock Cues said:
I'm still barely producing any cues since my first one 10 years ago, by hand with and old sears lathe. I just love doing it when I can and a major tool junkie. I hope to semi retire making more cues in about 3 years when I'm done paying for my daughter's college.
I'll keep trying but not sure if I'll ever be able to only make cues and make a living from it.
But heck I sure do love it 😍

I thought when I "semi retired" I would build more cues but that's not reality.

Now that I'm here I find the time I enjoy spending on building cues has not increased and there's a lot of other things I didn't have time for before that I like doing now.

Sounds like reality fo sure.

But does that urge to buy every pretty piece of wood you see every go away?😂

It does not, at least for me, and I still have some of the wood I bought in 2004 and every year since. As an aside, it's harder to find the same quality as 20 years ago and the prices have gone up exponetially. I'm confident that trend will continue.

Im with you, I keep telling my wife it's better than buying stocks in the long run.
I bought some pieces when I started getting the bug, around 2010 and some have doubled and tripled in price.🤑
