  • Cue making at Niche Cues

    Just looking for some interesting bits and pieces for my facebook page and found a video uploaded by Niche Cues that gives a little glimpse of some of their cue making process.

    Take a look...

    I like the tying the splices on rather than clamping them . mike wooldridge has similar videos on youtube.

      Me too, very practical. Using clamps is always a challenge for me with tightening them all evenly without slipping

      I have seen Mike's shaft preparation video and the tip fitting one. Does he cover splicing in a video also?

                innovative, and likely to have a great little cafe down the road from that workshop, offering some of the best food in the world too.
                really looking forwards to getting a chance to have a go with a bunch of their cues at some point.

                    I bought one from Andy Gibbs just to take a look at one and it was a very tidy cue with that solid thai feel throughout helped by a firm tip. Great value for that price range.

                          we will have to agree to disagree on that one.

                            Agreed, the shellac finish on the butt end of these Thai cues are beautiful & so much better!
                            I have no problem with feel at all and really shows off the woods used.
                            The shafts are always smooth and oiled finish which is where you want it.
                            I'd say to all these Thai makers(Phoenix, Mastercue, Niche, Omin, Maximus etc).....keep up the good work!
                            Great playing and looking cues for not silly money!!

                              Remember years ago an ash shaft splitting down the grain. Glued it, got an old golf ball and unwound the elastic from the middle and wound it round the cue. Cue still in use.
