Beware of hobbiest cue makers

[jb134]

You couldn't sum marketing up and better than this. I've had loads of more than acceptable cues of Jim and never came on here eulogising him. An unhappy customer kicks up more noise than a hundred happy ones.

I think you had a result with Jim, if you go to any big retailer for anything you get a repair first not a refund, full or partial.

A brand new cue shouldnt need fixed lol

Like i say not worth 230 at all and im glad all your cues were good did u pay what i paid?

I doubt even a cheap machine made cue would not be absolutely straight compared to an engineering straight edge, ?
Most handmade cues do not have an even taper but have changes in gradient along the length.
So comparing to a straight edge is not a legitimate exercise for cue straightness, it is comparable to "rolling it on the table"; looking down the cue is the best judgement.
It seems that no photos were taken at the time, we may never know just how bad the splicing-points were.
Got to say, this is the first time I have read a bad review of JE's work.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but the rudeness - I can do without.

Also did I miss a post but I don't recall anyone bring anyone's wife into the conversation?

Did you not take any pictures Brian? A picture is worth a thousand words! Would have backed up your claims but without any on this thread no one can believe what's typed...

No excuse haha, I'm sure that I'm younger than you and I do try my best to construct a simple sentence without the need to abbreviate every other word.

Likewise, I'm not the most articulate of people out there but I still manage this simple task.
