PIC request.......

This will show you some stuff about how a Haley goes together. I don't want to speak for Ron but I know that he is pretty much an open book about how he does things . I sat and easedropped on a conversation that he was having with another top tier maker and the info flowed pretty freely. I believe the idea was that with the shareing of ideas comes progress and innovation.

I would like to see some nice clear pics of all parts of a cue before
they are assembled. Finished forearm, finished handle, butt section
before butt cap installed, forearm no joint installed, ect ect

I think allot of people would like to see this also, it will give people a good reference point, to the amount of work in every custom cue.

Thanks

Do a google search for cue makers and add shop tour. There is a lot out there to look at. I doubt many of the guys on here have pictures of every step they go through building a cue and are not going to spend any time doing so to post it here.

I think you're looking for something like this? Watch a video about how this 'small time' cue maker assembles his cues next thing you know, P-R-E-S-T-O. Instant gratification. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

I have seen that video a number of times. It is interesting he glued up his points with the blank square. I know Palmer also did it this way. I wonder if anyone stills does it this way today. What would be the advantages, anyone have any thoughts? Does his son also do it this way? He made me a cue once with 8 points once that he didn't want to do but I talked him into it. I heard from someone else that he had mentioned the cue he was building for me and he had to do it three times to get it right. Maybe because of the way he built his blanks is why he had such a problem with the 8 point cue.

It is my understanding that Gus made his point blanks with the use of a Radial arm saw and as such they needed to be square when starting out so as to be indexed.

I have a couple threads of two cues in process.

One is a Davis blank, the other is a Titlist blank. Does not show EVERYTHING, but the Davis one is pretty much a step-by-step...
