    On a more serious note. I do admire the thought and effort that you put into the cues that you make/upgrade. I also like how you document their development, and how they feel and play. When someone looks at that sort of effort put into building a cue, you can understand why a top maker will come at a hefty price.

    Of course whether all of them put in as much effort as you, is something we can't know, unless they were to document the progress of the cue through manufacture, testing and finish. Which they don't, for good reason.

    I know if I was you, and I'd put that much into making a cue, I would not be able to put a price on it (at least not one that any reasonable person would pay) that would make it a viable purchase.

    I find it very interesting.
    thanks for what i see as an encouraging post tetricky.
    i'll keep doing my thing and see where it takes me
