Crafting His and Hers Pool Cues from Scratch (No Talking, just Woodworking and Mouth Breathing)

Thanks for this! I wonder if slitting saws somehow reduce the risk of kickback. I’m unsure. My current blade is a thin kerf although probably not as thin as a slitting. I was actually thinking about going back to the original thickness blade as the riving knife is kneecapped with thinner kerfs. I’ll research slitting saws today.

You made this post 5 months ago and I never followed up. You were 100% right about the thin kerf blade. I replaced it with a regular blade and it eliminated the kick back. You're a legend.

stay shiny...

you have to. that s his purpose. but i don t get cars behind glass , either. the fun really is using it.;))

The specs of the jig will be different depending on what kind of geometry you like (long points, short points, width of your returns, etc). By making more and more cues and seeing how I’m doing the cuts in these videos, I’m confident you can reverse engineer it. Sit down with pencil and paper and decide how you personally like full splices to look. How deep should the points go? Past the handle? Or short and old school? Thick returns? Razor thin? How much empty space between top of the points and joint? Once you find that out, make some tester prongs for the body. Then start taking measurements with your caliper. What shape is needed to fit the negative of this prong I just made? Once you do this, you’ll have your dimensions. CAD it up. You can make it on a table saw or cnc or wherever. I 3d printed mine.

Happy to help, any questions and I’ll be happy to attempt to answer. Do keep in mind though that I still consider myself a beginner but I can do my best to help.

Sure!

The ebony is partially cored and the redheart is fully cored. Buyers will usually specify weight, and it’s pretty easy to land right on it.

I just replied to another user on this same video- go find it and check it out for my recommendations on getting started with these jigs.

I think you were! High fives. What should I offer as prizes?

I don't know man. I am a cnc programmer with a deeply rooted pool and manufacturing obsession. I love your vids. You should make studiotronic shirts with pictures of your cat on them.

That’s a great idea. In the meantime I thought I’d have chatgpt draw you an ascii pool cue. This is the result: eocues.com/public/lol.png

Bro as always your build being so amazing. Keep them coming 💪💪💪
