Shaft Saw Machine

Ya ok? Do you have anymore fairytales to tell because I love hearing stories.
Man oh Man, I dont think this is what this forum is meant for. The guy's right, I spent many many hours building a shaft machine and lots of trial and error, because I couldnt afford a quality machine built by Blud. I understand his point of view perfectly. Im not calling cuemakers to tell them how I built mine either. Im happy to give some info but the construction took alot of knucklebustin and Im not willing to share this. Some things you gotta work for or dig deep and pay up if you want the easy way out. I have a few machines built by Blud and the quality is excellent and they are built to last. Yes,they cost more than lightweight equipment but you get what you pay for. Ive been to his shop and he's a no nonsense cue builder who fabricates cue machinery for a living. Leave the guy alone and learn as much as you can from his posts. Thats my point of view.

I have no doubt that bluds machines are top notch and I have plenty of respect for what it takes to develop mechanical devices . And you are right this is not what this forum is for. I never once discredited blud's machines or his abilities. My last post was in regards to Mr web's comment regarding me having been sent pics and that this I have no clue what he his talking about. My initial post was one that has to do with ethics. I was simply pointing out that he keeps saying his motives for helping others was genuine and I simply called bull$%#,that is it that is all. People can call me bad for pointing it out and they can disagree, I have no problem with this. Anyway I am no longer going to argue my point I said my bit.

I do not fault him for not giving away knowledge concerning his machines, I agree that it is quite reasonable. My point was that he seems to have a different set of principles when it comes to building cues. And I take issue with him being dishonest when stating his motives. If he wasn't selling machines I do not think he would be so willing to help others build cues.
Dear canadian cue,
your all wet. I'm not dishonest at all, sir. You can take all the issues you want.

I have helped many cuemakers with problems, for FREE.....as I have with folks who can't afford machinery built by me. I have also done the same with folks like you, who can't aford to buy anything I build. I have also charged cuemakers and charged for my knowlege to cuemakers and some wanta-be's machinery makers.

I have certain things that are my livelyhood, as I'm sure you do too.
Why your stirring crap, only you know.
By your writtings about me and how you need help with a machine, I assume you want me to send you drawings? RIGHT..
Well wish in one hand and crap in the other friend. Won't happen.

Machinery, I got orders for three, sir, [3] CNC SAW TAPERING MACHINES within the last two weeks.I also received an order today for a new CNC 4 axes mill [parts and pocket machine].
Go back to work, save your money, my friend and 15K will get you a new four/headed BLUDWORTH CNC SAW. It cuts, fronts as short as 13", also handles, shafts and butts up to 31". Two axes controler, with servo motors.If that's out of the question, save your money for a dual head mechanical/saw for only $5,500.00
Both machines weigh in at about 800 lbs each. It's a man, no tinker-toys come from my shop.

kiinstructor,
Why the guy is pissed, is anyones guess. I do help cuemakers, lots of them, as I do with guys who want to build there own machinery. I just draw the line when it's nessesary.
Many thanks for defending me.

Your Welcome Blud. I want to thank you for all your help and the lessons I learned at your shop. I believe your one of the guys who make things happen and maybe a little rubbed off on me. Continued success. Mark
 
Blud I targeted you because your post struck a nerve concerning a bigger issue. I am an idealist and in my eyes people like yourself sold out this industry. I feel you are profiting by the great number of new cuemakers while the core industry suffers because of it. When you state your honorable intentions the question which comes to my mind is who are you trying to help? If one maker helps another with nothing to gain thats one thing for someone like yourself I think you should not be so blatent about it. You seem to think that I want help building a machine.That isn't the case, I have been tinkering and building sinse I was very young. Designing and machining is what I do for a living. Personally I would not get any satisfaction from copying someone elses work and to build a mass production machine would serve no purpose. I build cues and related equipment for the love of it. To sum up I apologize for going overboard and for hijaking this thread. In my eyes I was defending a principle not trying to harm your buisness.
