Lol, what on earth happened there? I can't pot the buggers when they stand still never mind poltergeists moving them around.

Glad you can see it as well. I had to get my missus to take a look as I thought I was losing it (more than usual that is).

Mate. I had a lot of respect for your cueing up to this latest video; that was, until I saw the reds were remote controlled.

That first red definitely moves before you hit it, the remote control must have gone off early!

took this cue back down the workshop today for a referrule. i saw it was just over 58"and i thought if it came down by 10mm and took a bit more out of the last 15" of the shart i could put a bit more of a sting in its tale.
so the cues now just under 58 at 1465mm and with a nice traditional 9.2x10mm long ferrule, one of a few i picked up from osbourn. he said they were the same ferrules he put on the cue he made for ronnies a few years back..

this brown ash is the next to be worked on, should be ready by the end of the week
