Jim do your make your own cues? you got a website?

[jim evans]

hi ultimate ime a novice cue maker still a bit hit and miss but the cues i make are all different because i dont plan generally what design im going to do i just go in my shed and start generally with a shaft about 60 ins and design as i go along some have been spot on some arnt mainly glue lines or splicing not bang on but i try them all and if i can play with them most people should be able to,not got a website dont intend going on them lines do it as a hobby more than a buisiness

I'd second that, it'd be great to see how things are going and up dates on your progress in cue making.....!!

these are some i was going to put in the sin binpics not good the 1 on left is the 60 ins 1 ime on with the 1 with badge is not that bad just not stiff enuf in my opinion might suit someone else the others splicing just not right, this 1 is going to dwayne or dwot as is avatar sez

[Ultimate_snooker]

Thanks for all the replies lads, much appreciated! Jim, how much would you be looking for one of your cues including postage? I tried PMing you but the forum wouldn't let me, maybe because I haven't posted enough yet? No where near making a decision haha, so many different options!

[jim evans]

like i said in post there not spot on thats why there in the sin bin,the 1 i am working on at min the 60 ins 1 just needs wheighting prob 18 oz,and a bit of finishing you can have for £50 posted ,all the others whats in sin bin are around £50 -£70
