What does the future look like for the aspiring cuemaker? This is something I have been pondering as of late and was curious as to what everybodys opinion was on the subject. I ask this question because it seems to me that there is more and more cuemakers everyday. So is the market big enough to keep all these cuemakers alive, is it growing proportionately? For the part timer this may not be as big an issue but for the ones who do this for a living I think this is a very real question. In the early days of this craft there were only a few makers and these makers had to learn their craft the hard way building and modifying equipment to do what they wanted, learning from thier mistakes and granted this does still exist today but to a much lesser extent. There was no internet for free info or speacialized equipment. One other consideration would be that veterans of this art are still making cues ,it's not like the new cuemakers are replacing the old. So considering all that is there a future in this trade? Now to the true cuemaker they do it because they enjoy the challenge and just love building cues so all this is probably not all that relevant but if you rely on this for your bread and butter.....
