Wood Lathe

[ADR147]

a lathe that can take a full length cue is an expensive option - try this.

Lol I give up...

Brilliant

I think since Trevor has offered to show you the best way to do it this is a bit of a non issue now anyway, pluse ADR's tip guide is still floating about.

[ADR147]

don't laugh at the pencil sharpener - if you have a new one like in the photo it works very well.

[Darth_Spud]

I would never of thought to try a pencil sharpner. When did you think of that then ADR?

[mattyuk]

my sharpener is better.

[Wity]

Think i'm gonna buy one of these and have it converted to an electic pencil shapener tip shaper and chalker. Sure someone can do it for a ton or so.

A pencil sharpener can indeed work very well.

HAHAHA! I must admit that made me laugh! Touché! :snooker:

You want to buy a lathe just to shape your tip?

I'm guessing you have more money than sense? you could do a perfect job with your hands and a 20p bit of fine sandpaper!

But each to their own i suppose.

I'm sure theres some sort of ancient saying about using a "something big" to break a "something small" but i can't recall it exactly at the moment.

Well put it this way - If 6 of my mates are going in with this and the lathe costs £150 then we have only spend £25 each - Hardly breaks the bank. And of course theres always second hand! If spending cash on a tool that is overkill for the job is your logic then why are some of us spending £300 on cues when Stephen Hendry won 7 world titles with a £40 cue!? Not that there’s anything wrong with that but the same logic applies here. I suppose you would have to agree that some people (including my girlfriend) think that £300 for a cue is ridiculous. Anyhooo – I’m sure Trevor’s method of re-tipping is second to none so can’t wait to see how he does it. Thanks for the cynical comments, keep them coming…

[Wity]

Ye gods theres 7 of them ! A full pool team, I hope you have a big van for away matches, the lathe might be carryable but the generator to power it sure wont be

[Wity]

My whole retipping gear fits in a sunglasses case btw. :P

[Darth_Spud]

You should see the van though! Looks like the A Team van! Oh btw Wity the guttering on my house is looking a little dodgy, how much are those cases your selling?
