i get more out of cutting a nice shaft by hand or watching crisp splices coming out from under my plane than i ever did making a good clearance, having a ton or winning a match against a nice player so, no never. i always put myself in the shoes of the player eagerly awaiting a cue that im making for them..

Round of applause here !!!
Fantastic spirit

Fantastic reply Jason. That's the spirit of a real great cuemaker rather than for profits or fame only. Keep up the great work and ensure your feet are firmly on the ground. You will succeed based on true merit. My choice and recommendation for anyone looking for a great cue at reasonable prices and terrific prompt replies. Cheers.

really - well its nice that you found your creative calling in life. I'm sure you will go from strength to strength.

Nice work here -

Can I ask - just curious as you like playing and play to a decent standard and try them all out so my question is as a player do you ever make a cue for someone use it and then regret having to sell?

[j6uk]

im putting more into this than i ever did on the table when i was playing, and getting sharper, faster and learning all the time so. when im ready i will get down to it and mark what i make

Lol! Yep - can understand that. Once you create a "brand" with a badge there probably becomes an expectancy to produce as required by demand. I guess you need to protect that fine line of it being enjoyable and provivng extra income as opposed to becoming a burden.

Lovely craftmanship , hope you keep enjoying it. ; )

[j6uk]

..and the badge would have to say:

genuinely
handmade
for less than
minimum
wage

have a heart attack on the 6th cue. cant wait

[j6uk]

time mainly, but it is going to happen if i dont get hit by a bus.
the other thing is the business side and being inundated with orders that the craft of a handmade cue or i should say a cue made by hand cant handle

[Cue crafty]

What is the reason you don't badge your cues Jason?

[j6uk]

ferrule and super fine plane work before sanding next..


hope this to come through at the same time
