Rewrapping machines and videos for New Cue Builders?

[TheWizard]

Hey Guys

Are there any videos on how to install linen, leather/exotic and cork wraps?

Also, where is the best place to get a good wrapping machine to add onto a cue lathe suite?

A buddy of mine has his own lathe and is able to replace tips and ferrules and he does a brilliant job, but he wants to learn how to install various wraps, including cork wraps and he has a ton of old cues that he's got to practice on, but he would like to know how to go about installing various wraps

Also he would like to know how to cut the wrap groove in the butt sleeve for players who want a wrap installed onto a previously wrapless cue

If there are any videos that can show how what the best way to do this, it would be very much appreciated

I really hope that you guys can help and any info is greatly and very much appreciated

Thank you everyone in advance

Willie

P.S. FWIW, I used to wrap my own cues by hand when I was a kid and yes, it took me a good hour or so to finish a wrap on just 1 cue lol, I had said that I could do this, but it would take too long if there were about 10+ players looking to have a cue rewrapped lol

First, I would suggest buying Chris Hightower's book, as it covers all the topics you've inquired about.
If you're not a reader, there are videos out there, too:

Chris (cueman on AZB) Hightower's website (for book and videos) http://www.cuesmith.com/index.php?page=book_video

Jim (billiardbum on AZB) Sickles with Unique Products is very helpful and his website and videos can be found at http://www.uniqueinc.com/instructional_videos

Lee (brianna187) Malakoff with Brianna Products has videos on his site http://www.briannaproducts.com/learn.htm


Good luck,

Thank you for posting the link ELBeau, I really appreciate it buddy and some well deserved rep points have been sent your way :thumbup:

There's definitely a great selection of DVD's and equipment on all three of the site, but I'd definitely have to say that Jim's & Lee's websites seem to have the largest selection of parts and equipment available for cuemakers/repairmen :thumbup:

Thank you very much once again, I really appreciate it alot
