Have you seen the movie 3:10 to Juma yet. Pretty good.
You are just a little twisted!! That's too funny! Thanks I really needed a good laugh!! :thumbup:
IF I were to use it, I would use it when a situation called for red.
Hopefully someone can post accurate pictures of this enigma.

LOL, Well obviously..... 
Let me re-phrase the question then, in what instance would you need red juma or can you give an example of a "situation" where red juma is called for ???
I'm narrow and closed minded some of the time coupled along with inexperience in cue building, so all I can think of you would use juma for is ferrules, butt caps, or joints and I've never seen a red ferrule, butt cap, or joint before.
Is juma used for other purposes in cue building ?? I am not a cue builder so I don't know what else it is used for in the process of building a cue.
I have my own lathe at the house but I am NOT a cue builder or even a repair guy, I just have the lathe to do my own tips, ferrules, and shafts, and MAYBE 1 or 2 from VERY close friends on my team, other than that, I don't solicit any business because of my lack of experience. I have a rod of juma at the house, but I can't imagine a "situation" where red would be used.
OK, thank you, that makes sense. I didn't know cue builders used juma for rings and accents.
I love the consistency of Juma
I have a couple things in mind for the red already.
I have a maple plain Jane that has an ebony butt plate.
It needs a buttcap replaced, I think red will be the answer to the question of white or black
So a red buttcap. Thanks cuejoe, as I said, since I am not a builder or repair guy, it's hard for me to understand what some of the materials are used for. I'de love to see pics when you're done.
Also, thanks for all your videos on youtube and taking the time to video yourself and help others out.:thumbup: When I first got my lathe a couple months back, your videos were pretty darn helpful when it came to trimming my tips and I also watch your video on doing a wrap over and over, I'm fixing to try my first linen wrap on an old junker McDermott I have thanks in part to your videos.
I'm glad you like my dumb vids
I'm trying to think of some more videos to do... Any suggestions?
I'll definately post pics of the red Juma
I've played pool my whole life but considering I'm VERY new and inexperienced at cue repairs, I watch every single video I can find. I'm interested in EVERY aspect of cue repairs so ANY video you do will be beneficial to me.
I want to TRY and make some joint protectors for one of my cues, so make a video of you doing some joint protectors.
I've got one junk shaft that needs a collar put on it, it's a plain black phenolic collar and I've also got a Muecci shaft that needs a collar but it has ring work on it and that is way beyong my skills at this point.
Any video you could do involving ringwork would be extremely helpful to a beginner like myself. I want to do something simple on my joint protectors, like an ebony protector with a silver accent ring about 1/3 of the way down.

Making joint protectors is good practice. After you have made both a male and female for the same thread, screw them together and see if the bodies fit flush together. This will test how concentric your work is, as well as diameter tolerances.

I haven't used red juma, but I did get some red material for a cue I made for a local biker. His club colors are red and black, so I used a redheart blank that had a single black veneer and made a buttcap from this weird red stuff I found at work. When I cut it, it turned bright pink, but when I sanded it it got darker. Then when I cleared it, it turned a nice blood red. It turned out pretty good, and the guy loves it.
