Ryan-i sent you an email, thanks.
Chris, Mike-thanks for the advice. can i seek your help on something else? if, just if, i manage to somehow convince the wife that i can put a basic lathe in my house, what would you recommend i get? i only need to do a few things: change wraps, tips, ferrules, sand shafts, change tapers etc. all the basic repair stuff. Mike, then i can seek your advice on how not to destroy some of my cues
