Absolutely outstanding! As a long time fan, I have grown used to watching your work. Thank you for sharing.

[@CWWahl56]

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.

[@curtisbarbarapowers8095]

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.

[@johnallen9583]

ALWAYS PUMPED WHEN YOU DROP A VIDEO!! Absolutely stunning.

[@sixcues]

Been waiting forever for another video! Nice work Eddie, 2 beautiful Cues!! Now could you make a video at least once a Month?

[@Jesselovespinball]

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 !

[@miniwizard]

Holy hell those are so intricate and beautiful. Absolutely fascinating to watch the method of crafting these and the amount of precise workmanship involved!

[@ronanderson5736]

Awesome work on that cue! Amazing woods used! ❤

[@SuperBigwill85]

These are mine and the wife’s cues! Wow sir, just amazed at these. They play fantastic as well

[@EricReitzel]

How many Organs would I have to sell to get one of his cues? Truly an amazing craftsman.

[@SuperBigwill85]

@@EricReitzelthe wife commissioned them and won’t say lol

[@lwaxanax3171]

How do you order cues from studiotrinics?

[@EricReitzel]

@@lwaxanax3171 Evidentially you reach out to him through KZbin 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...

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

I’m so curious, how much are these?

[@delhenry9837]

Insanely beautiful cues and the craftsmanship it takes to produce them. The inlays just blew me away!!!

[@tomb1105]

Beautiful work!

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

Talk about a niche market! Beautiful work sir!

[@garry9296]

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.

[@benjamaniac08]

Awesome video once again. Big fan!

[@Woodstock271]

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.

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

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.

[@mambangjek2832]

So amazing. Excellent workmanship!!

[@Studiotronics]

Appreciate it!

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

Might be your best looking work yet

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

[@jmichaels4228]

I didn't even know I needed this video in my life❤

[@josephadair2338]

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’

[@RonWhite-vv7sx]

Amazing craftsmanship! Just wow!

Nothing but artwork!

[@TheJTTaylor000]

Absolutely incredible work.

[@Studiotronics]

Thanks!

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Nice work man. Be awesome if you made cues for sale accompanied by the build video, would be truly one of a kind!

[@samponette3306]

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.

[@mattwillard79]

You really make some beautiful cues

[@guitareputz]

nice work ...I now "need" a lathe

[@DwynAgGaire]

mesmerising. kudos to you man!

[@Robbie1075]

Wow!! AMazing works of art those cues turned out to be.

[@Studiotronics]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mehmetakifsirin9915]

great job. If I send you the autocad drawing, can you make a difficult cue?

[@scsherman75]

Beautiful.

[@Studiotronics]

Thank you! Cheers

[@duylinhtran8266]

I am still looking forward to seeing you make a sample for the 3C course!

[@tshacked]

Wow. That Karelian Burch is amazing.

[@Studiotronics]

It really is.

[@willguidry5860]

Phenomenal work sir!!

[@jeffbaytos98]

Masterpiece! ❤

[@shortymack340]

Beautiful cues I wonder has he ever made a video of the performance of his cues

[@look4truth480]

Wow. Just wow!

[@Richard.Dawson]

Buy an electric flyswatter tennis racket for $15. It's a tennis racket that zaps the fly when you swat it. It works great.

[@mikebingham469]

Tulipwood is the new BZ Rosewood. Getting hard to find a cue blank size.

[@derrickis]

What is a comparable cue name brand to these? Also what would be an average price for a cue of this caliber??

[@billeverett4090]

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)?

[@MadAl2003]

That set of cues looks like good guy bad guy set

[@johnvaluk1401]

Wow beautiful.

[@RipperWrath]

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?

[@scottyelder8351]

Tulip Wood is in my top 5 all Time favourite Wood .

[@Studiotronics]

Same.

[@TeensierPython]

Well done. I wish i could afford one.

[@josevicentevillamizararias21]

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.

[@poolsicario5882]

Do you refinish wrapless cue? I love the design and the finished ❤❤

[@kidc2004]

Subscribed! Still looking for that window cue that looks 3d with stars and galaxies in my windows. Or like you're looking into a window or inside the cue. With pretty basic woods for the rest. I do like the look of some tulip wood. Or any woods similar to some to the old rat cues. Those were cool and looked pretty basic or biblical'ish. Oh, some killer spalted maple wood with black windows would help give that look.

[@robertlozano3573]

Where did u get your linen melamine from...great work as always

[@Studiotronics]

Search for Aegis. It’s been a while since I bought it but I wanna say it was from Atlas

[@littlejohnny4470]

I would love for you to design for me, and America themed cue with the likeness of the four greatest presidents in American history...George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. George Washington for fighting to allow America to exist independently. Abraham Lincoln for saving the Union. Ronald Reagan for ending the cold war, and Donald Trump for exposing the corruption in Washington DC and for Making America Great Again!

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.

[@RJ-nh9hw]

Let me know the next time you leave your home with those cues...along with what vehicle you're driving...asking for a friend. Artist-craftsman is who you are!

Thanks! Cats love boxes so we’ve put them literally everywhere. That box was for a Pokémon puzzle.

[@breakshot7451]

every time i see such beauties i hope they don t end up on a wall, or the persons who get them are able to make three balls in a row ;))

[@SuperBigwill85]

I laid down a 3 pack last night with the ebony and tulipwood cue, it’s in my bag and will stay there. Already sold my previous playing cue.

[@cardguys]

What amazing work. Another top notch build!!
