I would love as a sign off, Jason to make a video, from blank to finished cue, every step explained in detail , just set up the camera and film the whole process from start to finish, I know it won't happen but it would be the best video I have ever seen and may even encourage folk to take up cue making( would he want that? Lol).

As long as you get them at a good price yeah, if you overpay .... financial suicide !

It surely is, JP Ultimate around £1000, without a badge i expect most people wouldn't pay £200 it's just the way it is
Take James Butters as an example, you can pick up an unbadged cue from him around £95 delivered, a badged one will be command around £200

Very true.

Yeah, but Butters only badges cues he thinks are worthy of his name.
I bought one of him years ago from ebay, paid straight away and asked if he'd fit a butt joint for which i'd pay extra for.
Got a one word reply.. no
Miserable git !

Ha ha ha, i have asked him in the past to make me a cue, he said no !
I just got a nice badged one from him this week tho 2nd from right

.....Also there is something about an unbadged cue that gives it a coolness - if you know what I mean lol

You charge more for a badged cue

but of course!
its all about the badge don't you know! :wink:

[mikeyd100]

I think the way to end should be with a J6UK badge on those cues!

Ha yes, I asked him that a while ago, would be a great finishing touch but he has his reasons.

installed an old ferrule and worked the butt to remove all the flats

[DeanH]

look forward to the end result and the review

[j6uk]

grain pattern, wood density and vibe. if it looks feels plays the way i think it will then i'll cut a front splice in

every cue has a story, some more interesting that others.

this one is intriguing with character, should have this down by the weekend

in what way intriguing?
