Everyone with a lathe makes bowls and candlesticks. You're different - you want to make pool cues. Not only are cues a great gift, and wonderful items that you can use yourself, but they're a great side business. There's demand out there for well made cues, and you can sell into this lucrative market.
The first steps in cue making are getting the right tools, and getting the right supplies. There are a lot of inferior tools and supplies on the market ... and sometimes getting the best doesn't cost too much more. Whether you want to equip a minimal shop, or really go to town, the advice you need, from a real expert, is here in this DVD.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the best cue building DVD that exists.
Note: this video is an introduction to the wonderful hobby (or business) of making cues! It doesn't get into the detailed techniques - for that, you need to watch the rest of the series!
(about 110 minutes)
There are three tricky bits in making pool cues: tenons, tips and ferrules - master these, and you can turn out a great product. To the best of our knowledge, there is not other video on the topic, anywhere. This video demonstrates the right way to do tenons. Ferrules are trickier than you think - this video shows the right method. Tips? Lean how to make them at the hands of a master.
There's a lot of rumor and second hand wisdom in the wood turning community around making cues. This video dispells the bad advice and shows you the hard-learned lessons that you need to know. Glue lines can be the difference between a mediocre cue and a great one. Do you know how to avoid them? This video shows you how.
Don't just make a pool cue - make an excellent pool cue.

Terrible .....Barrington talks too much!
His name isn't Barrington, it's Joe Barringer, and he's a MASTER cue maker. IF you think he talks too much, mute the sound and just watch the master work. If, however, you want to learn from his mistakes and knowledge, you have to listen. Otherwise, I don't want you near my cues........... Richard P.
Joe talks alot but what he says makes sense! He's a matter-of-fact guy,too! I can't wait to pick his brain for cue building knowledge, and some bytes of humor. His company 'Cue Components' is first quality and square business.
