Ya, silly me, attempting written communication with a semi-literate .... I should know better. Thanks for the slap upside my head, I need them now and then. :lol:

You are kinda funny for a can-adian

I must quote one of my heros, Ty Webb : "Thank you very little" :mrgreen:

Cue went out USPS signature confirmation w/ tracking info.

John Nesbit has already received the information regarding his cue shipment via: e-mail earlier this afternoon !

Now that we have beaten that dead-horse into fertilizer, what issue can we have fun with next ?

I know there is much for you guys to complain about so let's hear it !

Besides atleast KV and Chas Dillion can relax for a while if I can keep you guys busy with me....

Edward, my suggestion is the witness protection program. You can start a new life and live for short while as a non-tool.

Well here's a few to give you an idea of what some of my past work looks like !

Very simple designs, nothing fancy... each one of these cue configuration ideas were created together with the customer !

Why, thank you very much !

That's because I build practical TOOLS not ART.... and tools aren't usually made to look pretty.. they are made to get the job done ! (remember, the less cuts and pieces you have in a cue, the less absorbed the energy transfer is and the truer the feedback is to your hand... which is why house cues play so solidly well)

FYI: I never had an interest in following traditional cuemaking, it bores me... so I saw a very appealing engineering aspect of it that wasn't saturated yet and dedicated my cuemaking life to practical custom fitted relevance rather than collectible art. (not that there is anything wrong with the artsy side of it becasue it is pretty !)

Ed do you feel you can ever be honest, I mean are you buying what you say or is it just your idea of how you should represent yourself to the public?

Why do you do 3-segment handles with fiber and nickel rings then?

Jim...how does what Eddie posted vary that much from what Eric has posted regarding inlaid artsy cues?

eddie........change your bib and quit burping up on yourself. You have to be one of the worst at double talking that has ever set a toe in the industry.

Here's some engineering for you.
Buy a $10,000 CNC lathe/mill then hock it for a few bills b/c you're broke and couldn't figure out G-codes anyway.

The customers want a little personality to the cues so we settle on a happy medium and due to target weights, overall diameters and lengths, it determines the maximum amount of "flair" each cue is allowed before the original natural feel of the wood is compromised to the point of ineffectiveness, (which is also why I don't core forearms unless absolutely necessary becasue each wood has it's own specific characteristics that factor in with each construction).

Actually the Porper-B has a variable speed feed screw but I know what you are getting at. I manage to do pretty well with out it.. I'm very resourceful though and every cue I have built thusfar that you guys have seen has been done on the Model-B... I have made some changes to it since I bought it new back in 1992 to allow me full custom taper controls as well as a router jig for square ripping clearance and point cutting for those who must have points in their cues.

I do miss having the align-rite CNC (almost 15.000.00 by the way) because it is a cool piece of equipment with almost unlimited potential, but I really don't need it for the type of basic design cues I build due to the primary focus of what I do is more internal than external which is why my average price is 400.00 so that EVERYONE can afford a custom built cue.

Once again, I try to keep the designs simple, but the customer is the one using it so there must be an existing asthetic appeal too.... "a happy medium" so to speak !

You're just jealous b/c you can't engineer without real metal lathes and less than 25 shafts. :lol:
