So because I had to get myself a break cue (the shaft shattered on my bk2 after I put a Taom tip on it and the tip cracked after the second break.)
I had an old fury sitting around where the pin broke and cracked the forearm about an in down from the collar. I was doing it more as a proof of concept but out of necessity as well. I had a brand new sneaky peat sitting around with a shaft I picked up for fifteen bucks. so I cut the forearm 5 inches from the collar and then treaded it 5/8-18 thread then cut three inches off the fury and bored a 5/8 hole and tapped it for the female thread. I used a phenolic ring in between epoxied it then screwed it together. I got it to where there is a 6 thousandths variance on the dial indicator so I was only 3 thousandths off. I let it dry then finished it. Then I put a g10 ferule tip combo on the shaft.
What do you guys think. (I mean besides the mismatched wood which honestly isn't really that bad) I think I did pretty good for my first time. I rolled it and you can't even tell its two pieces. I think it came out awesome but I'm sure time will tell. Especially with it being a break cue.
