Don't think anyone will tell you the exact step by step guide, as it would do them out of business maybe.
But have you seen this short video for a basic idea ? Scroll down to the one called "cue production"
Looks like you need wood, clamps and planes lol..........oh and a whole dollop of skill

is there anyone in the uk that could do day or 2 cue making info/course \ because id be happy to play to do something like this when i come over later this year?

I have always wanted to have a go at making my own cues but have no idea were to start.

If any cue makers do start offering a course Id be more than willing to part with fair few quid for it.

i think that they should do it and u get to keep the cue that u make but they think u will take business away from them

My father always told me never to show anyone your job...

I dont think any cue maker will give you a lesson as it will affect their business.

Also every cue maker have their own way of making cues.

i think the chances of me taking there business would be very slim at best ive worked as a sparky since i left school but i do really love working with wood and to top it off i live in Australia
