I didn't start this hobby with the idea of selling cues....I just wanted to make cues for myself. Well, with each cue I made, I wanted to try something different on the next one and eventually I ran out of places to put the cues I'd made. I figured, if I could sell some of them, I could afford to buy more materials, tooling and machinery. So far I've been lucky. With the exception of my playing cue, I've sold everything I've made. I haven't made any money, but it's nice having other people helping to pay for my hobby
That's pretty much how It went for me too, and I would probably be My biggest, if not only collector, and hoard them all, if It were'nt for the fact I need funds for machinery, parts, and materials.
I do need to start letting more of them go, and taking on more orders though, that's why I finally decided to set up to spray a better clearcote. I have people I have been holding off for quite a while, because I wasn't completely happy with the finishes I was using, and now maybe I'll get alittle bit more piece of mind in that area.
Yeah It's strange, but It doesn't matter, It could be the ugliest cue I've built, and people will still try to talk me into selling It.
