Wow...that's a great job for having that kind the lathe that can make lots of cues in a short period of times to make huge in comes. Thanks for sharing of it.
Awesome video, I’ve been waiting for someone to make a newer video with this machine. Can’t wait to see more videos of this tool in action. I’ve been saving up to get this exact lathe set. His book is well worth the money too.
I have a few questions, is that black piece you set in the mold first through the center made of wood or another material? How well is the cue balanced using pieces of wood and the epoxy? Is the weight adjustable in the butt, if not how much does it generally weigh? What should the diameter be for the butt to match up with the shaft using a pro taper on each end?
Could you tell me the width of the lathe bed? I have a Taig Micro Lathe II, but for cue I need a longer bed, or maybe buy another bed and somehow align them well. Thanks
I was researching some lathe info and found your video. I was really impressed with your setup! Simply awesome. Quick question: what is the maximum length stock you can fit on the machine?
Great video, wish i could have the same cue that you are holding, you did an awesome finish. How much would it cost for 18-20 oz including shipping. I’m from NB Canada.
I know it would be a little over the top but, could you imagine putting an LED strip in this cue. The glow would look pretty cool. You could have an on/off button in the bumper.
So when you put the pin in you were drilling into wood. I never saw you add the wood core. How deep and what did you use for adhesive? Thanks Also love your cues.
Hey my brother, please excuse my ignorance of your process as I just stumbled on this video looking for this machine. But why did you put the carbon fiber shaft in the core?
so when you loosen the carriage to engage the taper bar, does it have a spring that pushes it back towards the taper bar or is it just completely loose?
Great video nice upgrade too the shop! I see u went too a carbon fiber core. Is there a reason for that? Also if its carbon how u drill the middle is there wood inside the carbon? Thanks jay
Thank you. And mainly went to carbon fiber for strength and stability. I do the cues with a 5/8 in wood insert in each end for the joint pin and the weight bolts. I have now set up the lathe for live tooling so I use the router and endmill to bore the holes for the inserts.
Where are you located? I’m curious if you’d be open to mentoring someone… I’ve been playing for almost 40yrs (I’m 50) but I’ve always wanted to learn how to create/lathe my cues. You’re damn good and looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks for sharing this , I've always wanted to make my own pool cues , how much does this lathe cost? , the tail stock you turn is wicked , what did you do for the stock and tip?
Next things to implement in my own lathes, thank you. I´m in the process to make very dedicated. I really appreciate if you give me feed back of what you would like these lathes have.
What made you choose the hightower lathe I'm wanting to get a lathe just for tapering but I'm on the fence between the hightower lathe and the taper shaper by unique.
It sounds like with a typical piece of pool cue wood, you would need the pass through headstock to be at least 1.5 inches diameter. Am I correct? When I am looking at specs for lathes to purchase, I do not see this spec listed. Is there something else it might be called?
It's called "spindle bore", the thing is that for cuemaking you do need at least a 1.5" spindle bore and 36" between centres , those specs make up for a quite big and expensive metal lathe that is usuallly an overkil for building cues, hence the niche market for specialized tools like the cuesmith
Hello i have question how its like balanced i mean is on it diffrent material randomly placed and it looks like each side is different. Thanks for respond.
What kind of epoxy do you use? I just got some to try out and in the instructions it says to pour in 1/8 inch layers, or else it could heat up too much and ruin the project. Did I get the wrong kind? Thanks!
I use totalboat high-performance and slow hardener or totalboat deep set there is a link in the description for total boat if your interested in it also using a pressure decreased the chance of thermal cracking on deeper pours
I can make them from a total weight with shaft of qround 16.5 all the way to 21oz. The feel of them as you shoot also is great. And that is not just from me but multiple people who have shot with or own one.
Jeremy has made me 2 cues and both were around 17 and 1/2 oz. Because I like a lighter cue. Both really shoot well, but I think the carbon fiber core will make them play even better (just a guess). Wait until you see the next one he is making . If it turns out how I have envisioned it, it going to be killer.
Thank you for watching and your welcome to you opinion but factually you are incorrect about it holding up. The cues are cored with carbon fiber cores as well as the epocy alone is actually harder than wood when matched with the wood they each make for an even stronger material. They play great and have agreat feel iv spent alot of time designing them with play in mind before looks and then make them look awesome. I respect your opinion and that you are a veteran builder and I always love learning new things from other builders I make full wood cues as well and it's a completely diffrent setup and technique. The same things like it won't last, hold up, or play as good were being said about CF shafts when they first came out. Just because it is diffrent doesn't mean it wrong. Thanks again for watching.
Wow...that's a great job for having that kind the lathe that can make lots of cues in a short period of times to make huge in comes. Thanks for sharing of it.
I commented earlier asking about cue lathes on one of your other vids ... glad I found this.. awesome lathe!
I’ve always wanted one, maybe in the next few years. Very good machine, thanks for showing
Turned out beautiful
Love your work. A suggestion, put some wood chips under the core as well so looks uniform. Often I roll an epoxy cue and it rolls back to its bottom.
Absolutely my new favorite channel.
Awesome video, I’ve been waiting for someone to make a newer video with this machine.
Can’t wait to see more videos of this tool in action. I’ve been saving up to get this exact lathe set.
His book is well worth the money too.
Did you ever get it? I'm wondering what irons you went with and total cost?
Great video. Glad you made it back home. Was nice to meet you and your daughter. Can't wait to see the next cues....nice lathe.... :)
That green is the best..I want it!
That lathe is awesome! We loved this pool cue tutorial - that lime green is awesome!
Thank you
@@jpaynewoodworking7510 Is that unit that u made for sale? Or can u make another with a radial pin or a uniloc joint?
I really like your storage cabinet...
I have a few questions, is that black piece you set in the mold first through the center made of wood or another material?
How well is the cue balanced using pieces of wood and the epoxy?
Is the weight adjustable in the butt, if not how much does it generally weigh?
What should the diameter be for the butt to match up with the shaft using a pro taper on each end?
Awesome video. What type of pin do you use with your cues? Do you have pictures available of your cues?
Could you tell me the width of the lathe bed? I have a Taig Micro Lathe II, but for cue I need a longer bed, or maybe buy another bed and somehow align them well. Thanks
Awesome job please do more cue videos
I was researching some lathe info and found your video. I was really impressed with your setup! Simply awesome. Quick question: what is the maximum length stock you can fit on the machine?
Very cool looking
That cue looks super sick. I which I could learn more from you. If you have an apprenticeship Package available I'm totally interested.
I build cues myself. Looks great.
Great video, wish i could have the same cue that you are holding, you did an awesome finish. How much would it cost for 18-20 oz including shipping. I’m from NB Canada.

yeah I like the green. its refreshing to the eye...by the way are you selling your cues ?
I do email me at paynecues@gmail.com to order
Congratulations on your cue lathe.
Thank you
So when you put the pin in you were drilling into wood. I never saw you add the wood core. How deep and what did you use for adhesive? Thanks
Also love your cues.
Hey my brother, please excuse my ignorance of your process as I just stumbled on this video looking for this machine. But why did you put the carbon fiber shaft in the core?
When you put the Epoxy mold Into the PVC chamber are you adding air pressure or using vacuum to remove the air bubbles?
Where do you get the carbon fiber core?
so when you loosen the carriage to engage the taper bar, does it have a spring that pushes it back towards the taper bar or is it just completely loose?
Great video nice upgrade too the shop! I see u went too a carbon fiber core. Is there a reason for that? Also if its carbon how u drill the middle is there wood inside the carbon?

So I don't know if I could do that in the shop but I have thought about doing a video series
Thanks for sharing this , I've always wanted to make my own pool cues , how much does this lathe cost? , the tail stock you turn is wicked , what did you do for the stock and tip?
I used my cenergy carbon fiber shaft it has a G2 tip and you can check the lathes out at cuesmith.com.
Next things to implement in my own lathes, thank you. I´m in the process to make very dedicated. I really appreciate if you give me feed back of what you would like these lathes have.
Can you turn shafts on that machine? If so, how much harder are they to keep straight?
Where did you get the carbon fiber core and what is the silicone mold for?
Great build sir! Do you make custom build cues for order?
Yes email me jeremy@jpaynewoodworking.com
What made you choose the hightower lathe I'm wanting to get a lathe just for tapering but I'm on the fence between the hightower lathe and the taper shaper by unique.
Honestly just wanted to be able to do the most processes as possible with one machine
Where do you purchase these lathes and related tools?
How much for a green pool cue??
If only you could work that fast in real life...
What kind of finish do you use on it or do you have to use a finish at all

You planning on getting a CNC cutter for inlays or anything?
(or can you use the CNC you already have?)
Do you sell pool cues?
Amazing 👏

@@jpaynewoodworking7510 Awesome, thank you!
what purchase package did you choose? I see there are several on the site. thanks!
The delux with taper jig shoot Chris an email on the cuesmith website tell him you spoke with me
Black and white would be cool to
Ha ha yea will have one of those in the works soon
Bellissima !! 💣🎱e’ in vendita ?
Que precio tiene uno así amigo . Para traer a colombia
Amazing!
Thank you
❤❤
Do you build joint protector for cues? What’s your email add?
how do you cut it conical ?
how much thus this cost?
I want 1 how much
amazingggggggg
How pricey is that total boat you used?
It depends on the kind you want to use check them out there is a link in the description. Thank you
I need one asap
Feel free to email me at jeremy@jpaynewoodworking.com
Think imma buy one of these... Like $3300 with all the options x_x
I might let one go for that 🤣🤣
All that fancy gear and you make a plastic cue?
I made them fr over a yeas with a simple wood lathe and hand tools. Thanks for watching.
@@jpaynewoodworking7510what is the simple wood lathe? I'd like to have a go as a beginner
What do you charge to have one made
Email me jeremy@jpaynewoodworking.com
How much does that epoxy butt weigh ? If it's more than 16 oz, it would be too heavy. That much epoxy kills the feel too. It looks pretty though.
I can make them from a total weight with shaft of qround 16.5 all the way to 21oz. The feel of them as you shoot also is great. And that is not just from me but multiple people who have shot with or own one.

Wait until you see the next one he is making . If it turns out how I have envisioned it, it going to be killer.
Have you played with one? Obviously, NOT.
Almost like a train track
The pour material won't hold up. There's a reason cues are made the way they are. I have 17 years full-time experience building cues.

Better get more experience. Guess you didn't learn much in 17 years.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👌🤝
nice sir can i have one...
Think your cue might be a little too long! lol... typically 29"
That is NOT how you build a quality cue
Give away
Dudes a scam artist! His work seems amazing but he will rob you and never send your product to you!
