My workshop

[Cue crafty]

William Lindop of Manchester manufactured this type of signature cue and did various designs with Fred Davis, Rex Williams etc on the plates. Maybe SW Hancock commissioned them to make this model to commemorate one of the comps they did possibly.

Couple of similar models on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_n...4&toolid=10001

all I can find is SW Hancock sponsored some local (Bucks) competitions back in the early 80s and I assume they had this cue made. I have not seen any other than this Pulman cue.
But this look is often seen with other retailer and player names.

Seen very similar looking EA Clare, Halex, and Riley Burwat.

Just finished a refurbishment on an SW Hancock John Pulman Mastercue. A very old or a rather neglected one piece machine spliced maple, 58 inches long, 10mm brass ferrule and weighing in at 16.65 oz's. The rather heavy varnish on the butt hid some flaws in the maple just above the splices and the join of the butt wasn't exact in one place, and it was bent which I had to rectify. Other than that it's in pretty good nick if it's old but in poor shape for something newer, which I doubt being a signature John Pulman. Any info on this company or type of cue would be welcome, pics below, sorry no before pics

Forum members in the UK, Jays Yorkshire Workshop BBC2 wednesday night at 9.pm, one of the teams will be making a cue and case, should be interesting.

Well that was something and nothing wasn't it. Spent hardly any time showing what was done, and what was shown was probably how not to do it. Who's decision was it to fit a ferrule with a screw on tip ? I'm baffled really, the producers should have contacted someone in the know and tackled the job with a bit of foresight.
John Parris has nothing to worry about but the general public might believe that all cues are made this way and wonder why a handmade item is two to three hundred pounds plus.

If you made a batch of these up in different woods they would sell like hot cakes I reckon.

To be fair you'd need the butt of the cue to attach the mini butt to it to before cutting the flat on the mini butt to make it match the one on the cue butt, otherwise it could end up anywhere.

Bloody kill joy!

It's what I do best

[Cue crafty]

To many different joints to do that imo.

It lines up exactly with the flat on the cue, I prefer this to no flat as I use the flat with my rest grip and think that maybe others would like it too.
