Lonergan Cues - Making a new shaft for broken pool cue
Переглядів 3,6 тис.2 місяці тому
This cue came in for repair with a nasty break towards the tip end of the cue. It was badly splintered and couldn't be saved. The customer decided to have a joint put into the cue and a new shaft made for it. The grain is a good match to the original and is a top quality piece of ash. Hope you enjoy the video! www.lonergancues.com

Cue Construction Part 3 - Second Splices
Переглядів 5885 місяців тому
With two splices already on the cue, this video shows the next steps in the process. The initial splices are planed down to reduce the amount of excess ebony, then two more flat sections are planed by hand. Ebony is prepared and glued in place.
Ikea Ivar Making Handles From Snooker Balls

Step by step video showing how I used a couple of old snooker balls to make new handles for the Ikea Ivar cabinet. The cabinet is great quality but unless you plan on staining and finishing it properly, the raw timber will quickly get dirty in a workshop environment. These should help me keep it clean!
Cue Construction Part 2 - Ebony Preparation

Preparing the material for the butt of the cue is the next step in the process. There are many different timbers which can be used but in this instance it's ebony.
Cue Construction Part 1 - Initial Splicing
Переглядів 6498 місяців тому
This video shows the initial process of cutting the first two splices ready for the exotic timber to be added to the cue butt. All cue makers will do things differently, this is the way I do it. I prefer to use hand planes because I find that they offer superior control and the final products are much more consistent.
Brilliant save, very enjoyable watch 👍
Didn’t coring out the lead change how the cue felt. Not a criticism just interested 😊
@lukepbriggs6225 With this repair there were massive changes to the cue, for a start it was 1 piece and had to be made into a jointed cue and also the shaft is brand new and not the original. Those things would have made a much bigger difference to how the cue felt than drilling through the lead.
@@DiaryOfACuemaker makes sense. I suppose adding the joint would put some heft back there too
Hello, good and creative work, but I did not understand what you mean by sand and grains.
Pool cuemaker here - do you mind sharing the tap sizes for the different snooker joints?
sad to see such workmanship on a crispian jones. (the lead i mean.)
Y is the steel bar in shaft..its also off centre...what.is thw purpose to add this ..
Isso é uma barra de ferro no interior dessa ponteira? Pra que serve Isso?
Where are you based in South Wales?
I'm in Bridgend
Loving your work pal , can I ask what you swipe your planes over before you start
It's OK I've just read other comments doh
Incredibly insightful, much respect for documenting the steps involved!
Very nice Mr. Lonergan
Can i see you put a titanium ferrule on
Amazing
Liked and watched with great interest despite the irritating "music". How is the tapered workpiece held in the chuck?
It's held using a tapered sleeve I made
Awesome Mr. Lonergan
awesome repair work fairplay
Very nice Mr. Lonergan
awesome work again . great to see the craftsmanship that goes intot he cue making / alterations etc. hope the vidoes contiue
That's the plan!
That's seriously impressive mate! Cracking job on what looked like a cue ready for the bin 👍
I always say there's not much that can't be repaired. Especially on good quality cues!
@@DiaryOfACuemaker and you've just proven that to be right 👍
So interesting how its done mate👍👏
What is the tin you're rubbing the plane over?
It's just a rag soaked in oil. It's the perfect way to add lubrication to planes and panel saws to reduce friction.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. There’s something so satisfying about watching this process! You’re an artist! 🙌🏻
Excellent video Mr. Lonergan. Please may I ask, why couldn't you have removed more of the excess ebony whilst the cue was in the lathe?
It's obviously a very uneven shape and the stress put on the timber as it spins is pretty substantial and so there will be massive flex in the cue, which isn't exactly safe. Also the tips of the ebony splices are very thin so can easily splinter off. Ultimately it's quicker and safer to do it by hand.
@@DiaryOfACuemaker - Thank you very kindly
Very nice
Jon what glue do you use for the splices ??
Fantastic videos of your amazing work, please keep these coming they are so fascinating
Thank you! Will do!
Loving these videos Jon... it's fascinating to see how much work goes into making just one cue, and completely justifies the price difference between hand-made and mass-produced factory cues. Keep up the great work mate 👍
Thanks Stu! Hope people enjoy watching them. There's definitely more that goes into them than you may imagine!
Johnathan you are just showing off with your planes don’t get me wrong the shafts look amazing but them Clifton Planes are a different level mate 👌🏻
Haha Clifton planes are a different level. I would recommend them to everyone. Not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for!
Awesome mate. Please keep your videos coming!
