So, you want to build cues. Why? Perhaps it's for the long hours. Perhaps it's for the many frustrating moments. Perhaps it's for the waste of large amounts of wood. Perhaps it's for the hours and hours you spend in the shop only to come out with one huge screw-up. It's surely not for the money.

Are you looking for a hobby? Are you looking to build your own cue? Are you looking to make a few cues here and there for friends and family? Are you looking to supplement your income? Are you looking to build a new business? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to watch this DVD.

We'll take you through the very beginning stages of what to buy, when to buy it and why to buy various items at the pace we set. We'll help you decide what tools to buy. We'll help you decide what lathe to buy whether it's a Proper, Hightower, Unique or a twelve-hundred pound floor lathe. We'll demonstrate on each of the previously mentioned lathes so you can make the best decision for your means. We'll talk about the benefits and draw-backs to each. This is an extensive beginning introduction into cue building and what it really takes from the bare minimum to a fully blown-out shop. You can get in for a couple of thousand to tens of thousands. It all depends how deep your pockets are and how much time you have to invest.

There is nothing on the market that comes close to this DVD. It will help you make the right decisions, steer you in the correct direction and show you what to buy and why you need it.

This DVD is only an introduction into cue building. It is not a how to and does not demonstrate any aspects of cue building. It is a lecture on cue building. You'll learn a lot from this DVD and you'll be more knowledgeable once you decide what you want to do. This DVD is money well spent.

This DVD runs approximately 2.5 hours.

Installing a butt sleeve is a simple procedure, correct? Wrong. There are correct methods and incorrect methods. We show one simple method with techniques that make it easy and accurate. Additionally, we also show a method that few cue builders utilize but produces great results. We believe this method has never been shown and demonstrated. Although more labor intensive, the results are worth it. We demonstrate by showing you how to achieve total accuracy and precision as well as mastering the technique. This DVD is excellent and extremely worthwhile.

As previously mentioned, butt sleeves are a cake walk (hardly). Well, here's an unsolicited comment: "On a different note, I really liked your new dvds. I was pleasantly surprised that the butt sleeve dvd had as much information as it did". JB, IN.

For 90 minutes there's a lot of valuable information in there! You don't know it all.

This is probably one of the hardest things to master in cue construction. When we finished taping this DVD, Bob said that we made it look so easy. And it really is. If you follow our step-by-step procedure, you too will find it easy. We've seen so many cue makers battling themselves in this area of construction when it's all unnecessary. If you listen and apply, it will all come together for you as easily as it does for us each and every time. It's not difficult once you know proper techniques.

This DVD will run about 65 minutes.

This is one of the hardest parts of cue building to master. We've taught people how to do a joint pin and they do it accurately in our presence but when they try to do it at home it's not so easy. The joint pin installation can be one of the most frustrating areas to cue building.

In this video, we'll show you how to properly install a joint pin. We'll show you what you need, why you need them and finally how to do it. We'll also show you how not to install a joint pin and why the problem is created by different methods. We'll also show you how to save that cue from an improperly installed joint pin. You'll learn everything you need to learn and why things happen and finally how to do it properly for 100% success each time.

And we'll show you two different methods of properly installing the joint pin and two different methods of when to install it.

This DVD will run 72 minutes.

This DVD will cover proper shaft cutting techniques for maximum yield. Shafts have a tendency of warping and our procedure for cutting shafts and how is by far the very best. It yields almost 100% usable shaft wood with minimal warping. Joe has tested and tried many methods and procedures. This DVD shows the best time schedule, method and to what size as well as dipping procedures in Shaft Dip (the DVD mentions Resolute but substitute it with Shaft Dip). This is a must have for the beginner and even the veteran as we can all learn something.

If you're looking to just do tenons, tips and ferrules or if you're looking to learn how to build your own cue, then this video is for you. There is nothing else on the market like this video. We'll show you how to properly install a tenon. We'll show you how to properly install a ferrule from threading the tenon to installation. And we'll show you how to properly prepare a tip and install it.

We'll also show you how not to install a tenon, a ferrule and a tip. We'll lay many of the myths to rest and show you many little tricks which you'll never figure out or which will take you years to figure out. We show you how to avoid the glue line between the ferrule and shaft. We show you how to mate the tip and ferrule so that your work lasts for the life of a tip.

This DVD covers two proper techniques of installing veneer work to your points. It will also cover how to cut veneers with and without a mill in detail. We'll show two methods both of which produce accurate and clean veneer work. This is the ultimate in precision veneer technique.

If you are new to cue building, you will need to purchase Proper "V" Point Construction Techniques to fully understand how point work is done. This DVD picks up where the other one leaves off. Doing veneer work is the next level of cue construction.

And, unless you know how everything is accomplished up to doing veneers, this part will not produce the desired results without flawless construction prior to doing veneers.

After viewing this DVD, you'll find that doing veneer work, as labor intensive as it is, will be very easy and rewarding. Our step-by-step procedures makes it easy to follow and understand. It's really a no-brainer!
