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.

Micarta And Its Many Myths

What is micarta? The actual word and definition has become diluted through the decades since its invention in and around 1911 by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.  Micarta was actually produced as an industrial laminate for electrical insulation.  Soon afterwards it was started to be used as a decorative laminate and thus Formica was born.  Both products were marketed under the trade name 'micarta'.  As such, it became used generically.  Micarta today has been used by any laminated composite material including glass epoxy otherwise known as G10.

Westinghouse produced what is called 'antique ivory', better known as a grade FR-2 laminate.  This was comprised of paper sheets which were soaked in epoxy resin and then baked and pressed into huge sheets.  The color was incidental as it was an industrial product.  Color was really never a goal of any industrial laminate.  In fact, the color from run to run varied greatly.  The purpose of the FT-2 was to be an electrical insulator with different characteristics than the much more common paper grades which were manufactured with phenolic resins.

As for the asbestos laminates we hear so much about, there were actually two grades.  We believe neither of these two grades have been produced in the USA since the mid 1960's or so.  They were indeed manufactured in Europe during the 1970's.  This material was for industrial use as an electrical insulator as well.  This material is extremely dangerous as it is asbestos based.  Fortunately, little remains today.

The Westinghouse micarta division was eventually sold to International Paper (IP) in 1995 and was run for several years.  They manufactured these micarta laminates for decorative purposes while based in South Carolina.  Eventually IP sold the facility and it was subsequently sold again.  It was eventually liquidated and sold off around 2004 or thereabouts.

These slabs are cut from the finest Elephant Ivory Tusk. We sell this in two sizes; small random slabs and large random slabs.

Small random slabs are .125 thick. They vary in width from 1/2 inch up in to perhaps 1 inch in width and usually run 2" to 4" in length. These are random slabs and are priced as random slabs. At this price you cannot specify lengths and/or widths.

Large random slabs are .125 thick. They vary in width from 1 inch up to perhaps 3 or 4 inchs in width and usually run 4" up to 10" in length. These are random slabs and are priced as random slabs.

At the above prices, you cannot specify lengths and/or widths. We are selling this by the ounce. The larger your order, the larger the pieces we can offer you. If you order 2 ounces of random large slabs, we can't provide you with 10" lengths. Remember, the wider and longer pieces require more weight so we recommend ordering at least 4 ounces to get some super large pieces. We will round your order up or down to accommodate what we supply. In-other-words, you may order 4 ounces but we may supply 3.75 ounces or we could supply 4.5 ounces depending on the size of slabs and weight of the slabs we choose to come close to your ordered weight.

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 runs 90 minutes.

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.

If you are accustomed to building cues with points and want to learn flawless veneer work or if you just want to see different technique, then perhaps you won't need the previous DVD - Proper "V" Point Construction Techniques. However, if your point work is not up to speed without doing veneers, then this DVD will not produce the desired results. Flawless construction technique will produce the desired results. 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!
