Cue making

[Train1077]

How expensive would it be to make a cue?

I mean equipment for it?

I would love to try to build a cue, or learn it from someone, but I know there is no one in Denmark where I live. Unfortunately.

I guess a lathe is quite expensive.

I would suggest first you go to the "Ask The Cuemaker" forum here on AZB. Then get Chris Hightower's book on cue building and read it cover to cover two or three times.

Good Luck!

Depends on how much you want to 'make'.

You can buy alot of the parts already made and then do basic cue assembly and finishing. Quite a few 'builders' do just that.

You'd need at least a basic lathe and hand tools to end up with something playable tho.
