j6 cue stories

[winphenom]

thanks man,
unfortunately both are spoken for.

Haha....me too mates. I want both as well. Is this the cue J6uk? Plays very well and stiffness is just right I feel. Let's see what are the thoughts.

I'm only kidding you know me but seriously it is a good way to market your stuff. Can you imagine how it would go if John Parris videoed his cues and took this approach to selling them it might go something like this.

Nice cue - I like the reviews. I'll have it if it comes with your cue action

Is that an older shaft that you've worked on or a new one that's been oiled? Looks a lot darker and more yellow/brown than a lot of the new cues....

this was taken from an an old boys shed, he said it'd been laying there ever since and that it was russia. 'you can have it if you want it' he said, couldnt get the planks under my arm fast enough.

Really nice work again mate, I do like the one pieces!

cheers marc

cant remember des, but all my planes were the cheapest on amazon, but it was a good experience service them so they functioned as they should. the amount of work iv put into them and cues iv made with them,quite attached to them now. though thats not to say i wouldnt be interested n lookng at others..
m n shefieled a good few times a year so i'll be in touch next time im up.

That'd be great Jason, you can come and listen to my silly stereo and I'll buy you a pint somewhere. I'm not playing snooker against you though

What kind of cost were the draper planes Jason? If you decide you want another plane give me a shout, living in Sheffield i know of a few tool shops that sell second hand tools, varying from engineering to hand woodworking.

I'd imagine some of the planes made here 50 years ago might be a better bet than some of the new ones available now....

Jason ....is your jointer plane made by faithful ? . If so how do you like it ?

I was going to order one of the faithful no5s but just won an auction for an old Stanley ballie for not much £s .

I fancy one of their no7s though

Cheers

my 4 and 5 planes are made by draper and my no 7 is a silverline. all of them needed a days worth of work to get them functioning properly.

[Ninja.cues]

If you can get them.... Try the laminated Japanise blades, hold a sharper edge that lasts longer to, for not that much.
