How Handcrafted Pool Cues are Made - Shop Tour!

[@philbrownred6500]

People who make pool cues are extremely talented in my opinion.

[@RByrne]

Wow, I've been collecting custom cues for 15yrs and never really saw all that goes into them. Truly great craftsmanship. I'll keep an eye out for his cues in the future.

[@Thom4123]

What a amazing craftsman and incredible product. As a woodworker his prices are more than reasonable with all the details and the process it’s actually a bargain for all the work put into each one. Thank you Colin and Take Care.

[@knecht105]

I agree the price is worth the amount of work they put in. Thanks for watching!

[@bmay8818]

Wow, those are incredible! That's someone who has mastered a craft there.

[@joebrown1382]

Wow I truly enjoyed this video as I am a player. He does some stunning work on these cues. I have a Brunswick Willie Mosconi signature cue that I bought when I was 17. The cue is now 55 years old & still plays very well. I just bought a new cue excited to see how it plays. Thanks for this video Colin.

[@knecht105]

You're welcome, Joe! Thanks for watching.

Thanks Colin and Scott, great to see this. I was a machinist for much of my working life and can really appreciate the accuracy.

I had Scotty refinish a cue for me years ago. Incredible work! Way to go Zach!

[@knecht105]

Yup ... he does amazing work!

[@jasonjohnson7411]

What’s Scott’s Last name? Does he have a website, eBay account or Facebook page? He has incredible talent! Needs his own KZbin channel! 🙌🏼🙌🏼😳🤯 🎱

Very Cool process on how to make a pool cue. Amazing craftsmanship he puts in to make one cue. Thanks for showing this great pool cue workshop Sir.

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@stlpinstriping7772]

I played pool for over 20 years and never had any idea of what went into crafting cues. I was blown away when I went to the Schon factory and saw all the steps that went into making one.

[@brucemiller1696]

Had old one with ivory dice on the butt. Sad i sold it.

[@nigelvernau6962]

Good work to him they are stunning

[@jbb5470]

Absolutely beautiful work! A true craftsman!

[@knecht105]

Fully agreed. Thanks for watching!

[@tedspens]

That is some beautiful workmanship. Thanks for sharing it!

[@perrywalker3887]

I have two of his cues. Each are one of a kind not a factory production made by the thousands. A collector’s item you can play with and enjoy.

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

Impressive. Well worth the money.

[@knecht105]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@sauletto1]

This was very awesome !

[@ozzstars_cars]

I miss pool halls. It's not how nice your stick is, it's how you use it that makes you a winner. 😁

[@knecht105]

LMAO!

[@coady-wp3xf]

pool haul and the boxing ring. they dont care who you are or how rich you are. its all how you play the game.

[@huwdavies5264]

Nice video Colin. Amazing how much work goes into a nice pool cue. Cheers, Huw

Beautiful cues

[@thejrodshow7679]

He's a great guy and his cues play jam up👌

[@DannyWalker1949]

0H Man, These look S0 G00D❕ He does such a Nice Job. I used to shoot Pool back in the 60's and 70's and was decent at it. But, with my health problems now its out of the question for me to do it now-a-day's. I'd sure like one of his Q-sticks their awesome....

[@knecht105]

Yup, they sure are nice. Thanks for watching!

[@pennyroyal3813]

Great video Colin. The visits to artisans are always interesting.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for watching!

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Made a few cues many years ago with a cue maker out of Chicago. Wanted to get into it but the machine cist was prohibitive for a poor luthier....lol. Thanks Colin,. Great video. Those cue prices are fantastic. I paid $500 for my DP cue and it was 2nd hand 5 point

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Beautiful looking cues...

[@knecht105]

Yes, they are. Thanks for watching!

[@fabiandaroca]

Beautiful Cues!!!!

[@benniedonald]

Love the video and this is very informative.

[@erwingvela]

Very very nice work thank's for the video how can I contac this gentleman??

[@imout671]

Very interesting. I would like to have heard his story of what got him started in that career. Seems most people back into a career they never saw coming. Thank you.

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Very good! Thanks

[@snoozin99]

I wonder how this guy got into doing pool cues and specializing in them. Was it his dad or someone who passed it on. I'm always curious how people get started in something that's a rare trade. Love to hear back from you :)..

[@brucemiller1696]

I am an anal perfectionist cabinet maker for 30 plus yrs. Tired of the bs with contractors etc. Used to play pool many yrs ago so makes sence. Working on selling shop, finishing projects and wean away from cabinets and make cues. More perfection and no headaches with others........

[@brucemiller1696]

Also, tired of seeing the same looking cues made from everyone. Mine will be different/better in every way.

[@thejrodshow7679]

I got into it because a friend of mine started doing tips and repairs about 10 years ago. Now he has about 50k worth of equipment and another 20 in wood haha. Most cue makers are former players that just love the game.

[@itzMoJo67]

@@thejrodshow7679 that's awesome, i've been looking into building my own cue lately.. i play quite a bit in leagues and tournaments. and i've always appreciated working with wood..

[@thejrodshow7679]

very nice great video to see

[@2502860]

How can you tell the cue is professionally build by looking at pictures. Lot of times I'm thinking I'm looking at laminated inlays

[@montyhoutchens4207]

I've got some 2×2 Teak wood I think this guy could put them to good use

[@joeblow2834]

Beautiful cues! However, how often do you look at your custom cue? When you show off your new cue for the first time people are ooo-ing and aww-ing. After that, not much attention is paid other than by you, probably. The fancier the stick the more showing off, kind of like the 60 year old in a new sporty Hellcat. Happy shooting.

[@renturner87]

Beautiful

[@andyaitken4243]

I’m looking for one word.....oh yeah that’s it......wow

[@wayneburba9457]

Andy Aitken where are you located Andy. My mother’s maiden name was Aitken.

[@andyaitken4243]

Wayne Burba originally from the UK, spent a few years in the US but now live in Australia. It’s a Scottish name originally.

[@wayneburba9457]

Andy Aitken yes, My grand parents and great grand parents. English Scotch, and Irish. Family settled in Hamilton and Toronto Canada. Then they moved to Massachusetts. I had a grand Uncle Andrew Aitken. He headed up largest steel mill in Canada.

[@andyaitken4243]

Wayne Burba when I first got to Melbourne here in Australia I found out the first brewer of beer here was Thomas Aitken way back around 1880. Not a well known last name but I like that.

[@wayneburba9457]

Andy Aitken my Grandparents said If the last name is spelled Aitken they are related. Saw in documentary where William Wallace grave stone is in Scotland there is a Wm. Aitken buried near by.

[@pinewoods4646]

Absolutely stunning. I am beginning an attempt to make a cane, I would like to try some of the inlay techniques for it, would love to learn more.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for watching!

[@MCtravler]

A cane! 😂🤣😂

[@willemkossen]

Those are nice!

[@knecht105]

Thank You!

[@GermanFistable]

I'm curious as to how he cut the right angle slots in the shaft, to accept the vaneer points. That has to be done on a machine, right?

[@gerrygolder7537]

One hell of an artist, can see where the costs come from

[@knecht105]

He does incredible work. Thanks for watching.

[@brianturnbough]

You should have a link to Scott’s website in the description.

[@rjperkins365]

Ha saw handcrafted pool cues and never expected to see you.

[@johnthompson3462]

Fantastic vid.Wish it was longer and more in depth.They look almost to complicated to be real.$800.00 is not a lot when you consider how long it must take him. I wonder how many don't make it from the first rack,because they warp

[@knecht105]

I agree the price is worth the amount of work they put in. Thanks for watching!

[@kennybales9786]

Finding good wood. That's how it started with my mom.

[@kennybales9786]

Aw! The guys heard me @3:19

[@conradp.woodturning972]

I'm actually hoping to make my own pool cue sometime soon! Although it may not be as great as these ones shown here, it's something I'd like to give a try. Being from Australia I'm hoping to make it from native hardwoods such as jarrah and other eucalypts. Just a quick question - for those inlayed points, how are the grooves for the veneers made? Where they cut with a 90 degree v groove router bit? Thank you Colin for sharing this with us!

[@brucemiller1696]

EVERYONE DOES POINTS. Do something different that nobody else has done. Be creative.

[@samuelroberts334]

What finish did he use? Great video!

[@thejrodshow7679]

They usually use epoxy to finish cues im pretty sure. Some old scool cue makers out there still use a oil finish for cost efficiency and for the fact that it's not as bad as the chemicals. Check out Bob Dzuricky on youtube he is a fantastic cue maker out of PA and has so many awsome vids

[@fixingtogofishing]

Got a link to this guy if someone wanted a custom cue?

[@bigaku123]

What's the link?

[@ikharl328]

What’s the cue brand?

[@peterpangan6219]

Sir how much your cues. Can you give me a price. I like 4 points but the butsleve has no design

[@mariogomez8971]

You guys have to be Canadian ay

How do I buy a cue?

Interesting...

Thank You!

[@mydreams299]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rayb1966]

Didn’t show how he carved or routed those fine inlay points. That’s the biggest mystery because those points are so fine.🤷🏻‍♂️

I saw your video

We're can we by these

His website is here www.zaccues.com

[@raabsand]

Beautiful work but those are crazy prices. I'm sure it's right with all the work that goes into it but you cant be selling many

[@knecht105]

He actually does very well with them. They're well worth the price for the work he puts into them. Thanks for watching.

[@raabsand]

@@knecht105 I see that but it's a niche market imo

[@WalterRiggs]

Wish the audio was better.

[@ahaygood11]

Would be nice to actually see him make the pool cue. All he did was explain it.. we wanna “see” it done

[@davidshaper5146]

$800 seems like a lot for something you smash over someone's head.

[@frankieg3953]

You use the house cue for that.

[@C_L_Thomas]

Ha. Too many times I have run in the opposite direction with my Palmer in my hand. These are not the cues you get into bar fights with.

Way too pricy but i got to say the cues looks good not bad ass but i prefer meuccci

[@MCtravler]

You lost me at hanging your shafts for a month. The custom cue builders I usually deal with, age their shafts for years. Not months!

Hard to understand what you are saying. Voices echo all over. Need a better mic perhaps.
