i think if you phoned and spoke to all of the cue makers, they would wined up telling you the same thing in that you just gotta throw yourself into it and find your own way. because in many ways its about the tools, how to use them, and what you do and don't need. the only way your gonna get good with the tools is when your using them
following andy hunters videos is a workshop in itself, then theres mw preparing a shaft. its all there on youtube

Andy has been good enough to call me a few times and is a truly great guy who I thoroughly enjoyed talking to about snooker and other things.
I certainly will throw myself into it when I get a few things clear (doing a house up and a new job) but just learning bits at the moment whilst doing cues up.
I just find the topic interesting as you know so you get a thirst for watching and talking about the subject.
Have watched all Andy and Mike's videos, very good. Thing is, every answer you see on a video raises another question which is the beauty.
Do you drill weights in under the splices as in Andy's video, risk drill a hole up the shaft but not in the centre so uneven weight or buy a lathe and get it spot on, that's why it's always nice to know.
Great hobby though!

good luck on the new job shock.
ive done both with weighting, and as long as you trust your abillity and know your tools id favor cutting the weight in over the lathe, i think it gives more control when testing and splicing

I do confuse easily, it's cause I'm watching the football whilst building a website and my wife telling me we need to buy an oak table and look at these 300 examples I've found........

I was probably on the snooker forum or something similar and she was trying outfits on and asked if the latest one was too revealing.
Apparently my answer was,"No, they look really nice."
Without realising what I said she and my daughter burst out laughing and agreed the outfit was unsuitable..........and so was trying to get any sensible conversation out of me!

Were all older cues weighted the Andy Hunter way, as a lot of the one pieces have square ends but I take it if the weight is drilled in from the bottom you would get a round end.Last edited by itsnoteasy; 10 April 2016, 06:02 PM.This is how you play darts ,MVG two nines in the same match!

I arranged to meet my girlfriend ( now wife ) at the Labour club which was hosting an engagement party we were invited to.
I turned up with my cue , bought her and her pal a drink, then went for a few frames. . She seemed ok about it, as the two of them were still
gabbing when I went in to the hall later.
Also have formed many an escape committee at weddings, with brave men being sent out to find a pool or snooker table. :snooker:
