  • as J6 has said they all start round anyway, so why extra to request one - answer is that they have to do a special email to their Thai supplier to NOT chamfer one of the cues from the batch they are waiting to ship out; £25 for the admin not actually for the work on the cue :biggrin: :wink:

      Great to see Jason showing pics of shaft preparation. No Thai badgers infesting his workshop.

              • Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you get them round? If you use a plane will it not always be slightly ridgy even if just taking slivers off?

                    • Cheers J, I find it fascinating, I'm sure I'm not the only one who really appreciates the time you take to do this thread and give us an insight into it all.

                        • the next shaft is coming along very nice. 0.5mm over
                          now a wet wipe down and let it lay for a few days

                          • That's a nice straight grain jig you have there.

                            Careful it doesn't end up as a cue!

                              • I would love to make my own cue, imagine knocking in your highest break with something you made with your own hands!
