Cue Repair

I have posted a few repairs step by step to show the process. I was wondering if there is anything, in particular, that you wanted to see? I don't care how big or small.
 
I'd like to see some forearm repairs.
Some of what I'd like to see-

1- Cue without points:
A- Break below main joint.
B- Break at A joint affecting forearm only (handle salvageable)

2- Cue with points:
A- Break above points
B- I assume broken points are unsalvageable, but you always seem to have a trick up your sleeve.

Thanks for the offer and your time!

Perhaps you could post the reply in the "Ask the Cuemaker" section?
Thanks again!

I'll second the request for repairs of forearm itself (not involving the points). I have a Schon sneak pete with a broken forearm that I would love to salvage.

Post a pic and I'll see what can be done. I assume it would be similar to this. (see pics) The trick is not in the clamping, even though that a big part. The trick has always been hiding the glue line. I have a pretty good technique, although it is not 100%. I win a lot more than I lose.

I have some pics of this Predator in bad shape. This break actually when into the points. I did not take "after" pics and I am not sure why. This at least shows some of the process.

Hey Ryan, How about a repair like my KF cue is in the need of? It has a warped forearm above the handle. The warp starts right at the point of the handle connection to the forearm where the points are. It lifts about an 1/8" to 3/16" off the table when rolled. Sorry I do not have a video or a pic but hopefully you get the idea.

Are you sure it is the forearm? It may be the handle, especially if it lifts at the A-joint. There are several things that will factor into the price but figure at least $150 to replace a warped handle.
 
It seems fine from the top of the handle back to the butt and when rolled the joint comes clean off the table. You'll get the chance to see it eventually...

Nice before and after pictures. Are you able to salvage inlayed buttsleeves as well?
