I don't do cues myself, but I do make jigs and patterns for a couple of guys that do. I'll see if I can get a pic or two
Paul,
That would be greatly appreciated. I love playing pool but have always been too cheap to buy a decent stick. I go with the Wal-mart special for $14.99.
Even though I only have a midi lathe, I think I could easily adapt it make a pool cue.

Here is a link to a cue I made the patterns for. He usually gives me a rough idea of what he wants and I draw it up to scale, then machine the pattern.

The guy on the web site has some pretty sophisticated equipment. It looks like he made the lathes himself.

Most of them come from a company called unique products. A friend of mine has the Cue Monster, a cnc machine. Another has one of the taper machines.

OK, that's interesting. I noted that he had a cue going through the hollow spindle of his machine lathe. I have tried turning one-piece (36") canes without success. These ranged from 1/2" to 1" diameter. Even with a center steady rest, they were just too 'whippy' for turning. He uses the hollow spindle and two-part construction to get a solid turn.
