Tapered not flat or piloted joints.

I mostly teach ancient greek philosophy as an introductory course, but my major was in philosophy of religion and 19th century philosophy. It is indeed a different line of thought than cuemaking, but in a way both seek perfection through their own mean, that's what I like about cuemaking.

~~Hi Eddy!~~

It's great that you found 2 jobs that you love. I've always been interested in trying my hand at cuemaking, but the lack of machinery and an average ambient humidity of 95% work against me. Oh well, I'm trying to see if I can make some cue cases on a hobby level..at least leather don't warp that easily..

My main job is in a totally different field, I work as a philosophy professor in a College.

Oh god, you can make me a cue and help write my 101 essays at the same time!

Btw, thanks for the very informative post. I took a high interest in your conical joint when i first came across it but now I have a much clearer picture of what it does and how it fits.

I don't mind helping you out on your essays but the price of the cue is not gonna be the same! Good luck anyway!
