Can anyone recommend a video for doing wraps that include the whole process including cutting the cue for the wrap. Google is not helping. Thanks.

Cuejo has a very nice video on youtube on how to install a linen wrap. It doesn't show how to cut the wrap groove. If you don't already know that, I wouldn't attempt it myself, just my opinion though. Nevertheless, Cuejo has some nice instructional videos on youtube. Good luck.

Hi,
One tip I can offer:
I have been doing wraps for about ten years and today I do not my spin my lathe when I install my wrap anymore. I turn the cue by hand while holding it loose between centers. By doing it this way I have fond that I don't need a roller press any more and I just burnish the linen with a small oak square for flatining to attaining the look I want without a small gaps between any linen strands because I hand wrap the string and render the string very tight without gaps with no need for the roller tool.
It takes me an extra 20 minutes but I feel it was worth it
Good luck,
Rick
