@@lwaxanax3171 Evidentially you reach out to him through RU-vid according to his landing page...I wish I could afford his cues. But my goodness all the CNC and Lathes and equipment and his time....Well worth his cost... And Eddie I love your sense of humor as well...
Great work. I played a lot of billiards year agon. I would love to get back to it. One of my hobbies now is kitchen knives, and your builds have inspired an idea or two. Thank you.
First, this gentleman is a true craftsman. Many of his techniques cannot just be picked up by reading a book or watching a video, this is countless hours of trial and error, learning as you go, acquiring a large variety of tooling, fixtures and jigs not to mention that he is working in one heck of a home shop complete with multi axis CNC equipment. If the goal was to make the most elegant, intricate, ornate, precise and incredibly detailed pieces of art, well he succeeded. My only question is how to find out when his schedule will allow for the creation of a cue for me. Great video and great work, very impressive.
Your attention span and pedantic approach to everything you so is incredible. You justify the investment in equipment that would be wasted on me since I was born sans patience and with attention deficit disorder. Your cues are masterpieces.
Thank you for the effort to record this construction. I must have said "wow" and "holy shit" at least a dozen times each. So impressive. Again, thanks for all of the additional effort that went into creating this wonderful video.
Incredible work.what a joy you must feel at how nice the finished cue is. A huge pleasure to watch such wood working talent. I will never forget this. I am just amazed at the intricate construction of a fine cue. Anyone would be very fortunate to own such a masterpiece.
Holy hell those are so intricate and beautiful. Absolutely fascinating to watch the method of crafting these and the amount of precise workmanship involved!
As always , top notch work . I don’t make pool cues . I am however a maker with OCD like yourself . Any tiny flaws are unacceptable. It’s a gift and a curse . Most people wouldn’t even notice what we would consider a flaw and yet we are willing to scrap hours of work in pursuit of perfection. Nice job Eddie , another beautiful set of cues !
WOW, the workmanship that goes into making them is incredible. The attention to detail is phenomenal. When you consider how much we pay for things like plumbers, main dealer servicing etc a cue like that should cost £3k to £5k.
I haven’t even watched the video yet, I’m already commenting. I absolutely love your videos. Please continue the series. Maybe I can get a cue one day. Congratulations on your success
Just exquisite pieces of functional art. My god, I had no idea what this kind of craftsmanship entailed. Inlays inside of inlays. Insanely beautiful! I’ve done all sorts of wood craft with exotic hardwoods but never tried to build a pool cue and I’ve been playing pool since I could barely walk. Every time I looked at a really nice pool cue, I wondered how the hell they built this?! Thanks to this video, I know the points aren’t just thin inlays but structural as well. Amazing work! Just subscribed. The only time I ever worked on a pool cue was one my friend won from a guy at a bar we played at. It was a Mali from the Philippines and really nice, except the shaft was dented pretty badly like some kid spent the day whacking a sharp corner with it. My buddy asked if I could fix it. Make it new again. I said, “Yep, I can steam out the dents and refinish it no problem.” He wasn’t in any rush since he had a bunch of cues so I took my time, steamed out the dents with an iron and wet rag, letting the dents become hills I’d sand off after a drying time. My buddy called me a couple weeks later and asked how the progress on the cue was coming along? I wasn’t charging anything for the work, but all of a sudden he’s in a rush! “Come on man, I need that cue back. I want to use it in a tournament next week. I need to practice with it.” So whatever, the cue was ready for finish and I finished it that day. Wondering why my friend was being such a prick all of a sudden? I brought the cue over to his apartment and he looked at it. “Nice work man! Can’t even tell where all the dents were. Took you long enough. Isn’t it your birthday tomorrow?” I looked at my watch and nodded, “Guess so, I stopped paying attention to that day in my 30’s. Why?” He laughed and handed me the cue. “Happy Birthday mofo!” That was the coolest birthday present I ever got. And I had work on it first.
Great to see another video. Gorgeous cues, if Michelangelo were alive I would think he made them. Either him or Tiffany. Loved the video and thanks for that.
First of all, absolutely amazing and stunning craftsmanship. I mean, I wouldn't have guessed that the most amazing wood work I've seen on RU-vid would be for a pool cue. However....I hate to be that guy, but it must be said...the cat knows where the bodies are buried, ya?
Omg I’m amazed at your talent. Your videos are so relaxing and satisfying to watch. Your attention to minute detail is incredible. I don’t know which cue I like more! I predict that one day you will be one of the most sought after cue makers in the world. Your cues are pure perfection! Wish I could afford one.
I thought you were going to be working with waddy wood. Now THAT is rare. I'd love to see you work with it. They used to make fence posts out of it, and now only maybe 100 trees exist in the world AFAIK.
I’m a fan and will continue to watch your content. You are a great storyteller so I’m glad to hear that your channel will evolve rather than end. How about….’Im Anthony Vella and I have a story to tell you’
I have some big pieces of tulipwood in stock. Never used them tbh. But from the looks of it.. you could make easily more then 50 cues from it. Probably alot more.
Beautiful work as always! I’m confused by the challenges of getting tulipwood though. I know nothing about it other than the Olhausen pool table I have said it was made out of it (and I just looked, it’s still being sold). I’d think that getting blanks wouldn’t be an issue if they could really make a (relatively affordable table) out of it. On the other hand, why would they claim to be using a wood most people don’t know anything about (then charge more for Cherry etc)?
Maravilloso trabajo. Llegas a niveles de excelencia perfección en todo. Felicitaciones. Te escribo desde Colombia Me encanta jugar billar. Dos preguntas. 1.Cuantas horas lleva hacer un producto como estos. 2. Que costo tiene cada uno.
Awesome craftsmanship sir...down to the joint protectors also..!! I love work that comes out of a house garage with just on hand tools. It started with my coworker when he did his custom Harley bagger bike from full tare down then back together show piece. If i didn't see it being done myself i wouldn't believe custom could be built/come out where it did..!!! 💯😎🤙🏽❣️ TV got me fucked up to only think from big shop with employees..!! 💩
Great video, I'm a new fan in the UK. I would love to know about that laithe cnc machine. The things it does are incredible. Wonder what it could do for table legs.
Videos like this one, are the reason I subscribe to YT Premium. It almost feels like when I'm relaxing Sunday morning, and watching golf. Calming and entertaining. I'd be happy with just a $100 stick. I guess these two sticks at 75K per pop. Any guesses?
Man takes thing in his Hands, see them, use them and take them for granted. But soon man watches closely how Things are done, you start APPRECIATING theme! √√ I do NOT play pool, but I enjoyed very much the making of … √√
