Now I don't want websites or makers that make out of a factory by 50 different people like Cue Craft for instance, I am looking for people who actually use their skills as an individual to make their product and not rely on x number of staff to make their products.

There are at least 4 on that list which don't fit your criteria. Welshpool I don't know but I'm pretty they don't fit either.

Why are Peradon and Dunns there? They're not individuals. Same with Craftsman and Mastercues! This was in my 1st post.

Not the ones who don't do their own cues, but have employees that do the work, like: craftsman, mastercue, dunns and peradon. No artisans there. WPT get cues made for them, as far as I know, and they use the exact same wording as Mastercraft to describe the cuemaking process used, so I think that 2 +2 = 4, but why don't you contact Bitter? He can confirm.

Another one that makes his own cues is Martin Chesworth of chesworthcues.

craftsman cues is a family run buisness i belive there are only a few of them who make the cues dave brown is a top cue maker.also i have been told by members of this forum that martin chesworth does not make is own cues i have been to his shop in sheffield and he does'nt make them there thats for sure i was told they are craftsman.

Clarification... ? ...there seem to be ranges of "hand-made-ness"
from different makers... can we say that the list contains only those named makers who at some stage have a significant hand in their making? *

* by that I don't mean picking out wood

I agree that Dave is a top cuemaker but I don't think he makes all the cues they produce; I don't know how many people he employs but we don't know how many is too many from Ferret's POV. Parris is the biggest name in the cue world but when did John last make a cue? He's got a team of 11 people working for him, does that exclude him? I don't know, so Ferret'll have to be more precise.

I know Martin doesn't make his cues in his shop, but I was told that he still makes his own cues and he says so himself; who do we believe?

I'm not having a go at you, ste bed, so please don't think that. We're all trying to help but the criteria are too vague. Ferret, some help, please!!

There is just one German cue maker who makes also Snookercues:

Unfortunately only in German and a bit unorganized website, but definitely handmade cues...
even if they are a bit odd...

[ste bed]

i think there are 3 at craftsman cues dave is son simon and some other bloke and they do make all there own cues exept for the new classic cue range . as for martin chesworth well. if your looking for individual cue makers i bet there's not many out there mike wooldridge even as people working for him .
