Black Magic: Hand Crafting the Most Vicious Pool Cue Ever
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2024
- Today on Studiotronics, we're making a pool cue from scratch. Jack's full splice cue is 62 inches of African Blackwood, Abalone, and carbon fiber.
This is, to date, the most challenging build I've attempted. Thanks to Jack for letting me take on his vision.

Everytime i see this thumbnail my heart flutters. I'm not a fan of fancy cues, but this thing is so beautiful.
This is by far the most beautiful cue I’ve ever seen. Great taste in my opinion. Incredible!!
Probably my favorite cue I’ve ever seen but the amount of effort and time you put into it I already know I wouldn’t be able to afford one 😅 beautiful work
You Sir are a F... Samurai. A true master of your craft. Cue looks amazing and the video editing and sprinkle of humor is a work of art too.
Was super excited to see a new video from you . I realize the amount of time that goes into your work . I appreciate the fact that you take the time to film it for us to enjoy. What a beautiful cue .
Wow, art, science and technology , you are very gifted. it's a beautiful piece of art!
Thank you so much for sharing the process of another masterpiece, simply gorgious!
Holy crap! What a gorgeous cue! I can see Reyes, Strickland, Duell, Bustamonte’, J. Shaw and other Pro’s clambering for it. It’s beautiful!!
My most favorite one so far, probably the most beautiful cue I've ever seen! Georgous 😍
Loved this video, I was sad when it ended because it was so educational and enjoyable to watch. Your technical knowledge and manufacturing skill is way beyond mine but that only adds to my appreciation. Your shop looks amazing, I can’t get over how much equipment you have and I like how you strive to always learn and improve. Spectacular cue. Thanks.
Amazing craftsmanship. Excellent results as ever. So enjoyable to watch. Thanks for putting the videos out.
Amazing work!!! The all black look makes the abalone stand out. I absolutely LOVE it. Keep us the good work❤❤❤
Oh man!! Nailed it! 🤟🏻🎱
I’m a Captain on the Upper Mississippi River. We’re currently pushing some barges up North between Illinois and Missouri in a snow storm in the dark. 💨 ❄️
I have a steersman so I mostly just “correct” him from the couch. 😜
When I seen this new video pop up I had to watch it.
Thanks for another trip through the shop to get me off this boat for 21 minutes of awesomeness. ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤
I wanna see the kayak video now. 🤷🏼♂️
extraordinary shop, amazing skills and a one of a kind cue.
playing this cue would be a spiritual experience.

Outstanding, tons of patience. ❤

Stunning craftsmanship 😍👍.
Nice work...as usual !
Love to see more cues soon
You are amazing! For sure that cue is perfect❤️
*_Wow, that's a mighty fine cue!_*
Impressive work!
Awesome Cue!!
Beautiful work..
This is better than most things on television. I would love to see bamboo incorporated into a cue.
it is nice to see too.. but its not a durable material for a long term use
@@user-qt7dy6wy4f really? I have some fly rods that would prove otherwise. I think you have to impregnate the bamboo with resin.
@@cheemomugdoo799without trying to be rude or anything…there’s a difference in stress levels. Fly rods bend back and forth, cues get slammed on end into a 6-ounce phenolic ball. Bamboo inlays would probably work, but as far as an entire butt or shaft made of bamboo, I don’t know.
@@SergioPena20 no offense taken, and I agree with you. My idea was just a bamboo inlay of sorts, not a complete section of bamboo.
@@cheemomugdoo799 I think it would work, but like any other design, everything depends on the size of it and how good you can glue it together.
Love the Blade Runner reference.
I am jealous and wish i was making cues but These build videos are awsome and very soothing to watch.
Amazing👍super nice cue!!!
Congratulations. You're doing a great job. I would also like to see your 3 cushion cues
Absolutely incredible
I am in awe of this man. What dedication and talent he has! When he was on the computer figuring the V cuts for laying in the Abalone, that blew my mind. I’m a huge fan of black anything and this is by far the most beautiful cue I’ve ever laid eyes on, wow! The Abalone against the glossy black African wood sent chills up my spine. I would name this The Black Mamba and have him inscribe that somewhere on my cue and I’d cherish it forever. I could never afford such a beautiful piece of art, but I’m just curious, how much would a cue like this run? $5000? $10,000? And me being 5’10” I prefer a cue longer than the standard 58”, so 62” is absolutely perfect. Thank you for this wonderful, entertaining video! You do incredible work! ❤❤❤
Makes my day when you post a vid. Totally totally cool.
Hope you make more videos,i love it
Gorgeous!❤
wow it's beautiful.. black is beautiful
craftsman. and rock star combined. beautiful. :)
I’m so amped up that you are making me and the wife cues. Simply stoked about it
You are amazing you do something crazy well done keep going bro
That cue is awesome.
Beautiful wood
The cue with the V is a Viking.
You’ve got some nice toys in that workshop I’m so jealous
amazing craftsman
Beautiful cue
MAGNIFICENT just MAGNIFICENT !!!!!
That cue is otherworldly.
Really beautiful cue! Congratulations!
Those abalone shells and black wood combo is just great.
The shaft finish is more like a Revo you would say?
I'm really wondering how much a cue like this would cost? 3 or 4k maybe?
His patience and accuracy can plan for Mars landing, I believe 😊. Such a beautiful piece of art.
You know it’s a good day when this guy posts
This is amazing
What would you compare the hit of the cue to? The three best cues I've shot with are a '96 Southwest, a late 90s Scruggs, and a Helmstteter wood joint carom cue. The best hit was the Helmstteter; the feel was the Southwest; the best control was the Scruggs. This is the best way I can explain it.
black beauty,, i think i could never afford your cue, but always nice to see you made one 😀👍👍👍
Talk about mad skills….WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯
i enjoy watching your cue making videos, for the CNC program you coded for the abalone shell inlay, did you do a dry run first or go direct?
This is a Work of Art, no less
Awesome. I'll take one.
What a beautiful cue that is , really nice one of the best looking Cues I‘ve Seen in my life. What will cost this Kind of Cues?
Awesome!!!
Nice man.
This is the video I was looking for.. I'm sitting on a Larry Vigas that I'm very proud to own.
I have a 3d thought for a window cue that I'd love to own too. Every starburst offers a different view and a new break.. If you are up for it.. I'd be honored
that's a very nice cue
What was the final weight of the cue and which tip did you choose? Thanks for the amazing video. Master craftsmanship.
Beautiful cue! Wonder if the African Blackwood has a more firm hit or sounds more solid.
Gorgeous and stunning, how much would you charge to make another one either with the abalone or with dark purple?
amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I have a Peri cue V30-01 with abalone shells it looks great
I prefer a 60" or 62" cue over the standard 58". The problem is if you want to take it on a plane a 60" cue will barely fit corner to corner in a 28" suitcase, which is the maximum size allowed on many flights. I use a 60" cue. It seems like a standard size cue with an extension is more convenient but I haven't tried playing with an extension either in the center or a butt extension. Shane Van Boening used a butt extension all the time for a long time so it must be okay.
Beautifully and skillfully done. Bravo! What did this cost to build?
Are absolute cues made by production, or are all the perfect ones always hand made? I've played thousands of games of pool, but I'm tied to oxygen 24/7 w/COPD, but I would be beside myself if I owned it! It would be handed down to my family! Just awestruck watching you work, and the patience you have, is a rare thing now a days! Looking forward to see more! "With ❤ and 🙏's. (Just for s and gs,"how much would you sell this cue for)?
