Building an Ornate Pool Cue From Scratch (While Slowly Descending Into Madness)

Today on Studiotronics, we're building a pool cue from scratch. It has...a couple inlays.
I recommend Daisy for carbon fiber shaft tubes: www.carbonfibercue.com/

This cue. This cue right here isn't an actual cue. Nope, this is a masterpiece work of art!

[@wademeister1977]

I have had to scrap a few cue builds myself over the years for similar silly reasons. Once I put a beautiful purple heart and maple half slice on the lathe backwards on the finish cut, resulting in a very skinny cue with no taper. I still have it. I keep telling myself I can make something out of it. Another nice build sir. Well done.

[@Studiotronics]

Wade I have done the exact same thing. Put the cue in backwards. Some cue makers make toilet plungers with their messups. Seeing a half spliced maple and Purple Heart toilet plunger would be amazing.

The patience you have is unbelievable. Some people are just artists inside and that is you. Beautiful workmanship. Thank you for filming it for us.

[@philmowbray7346]

When a cue becomes a fine art piece. Simply a stunningly beautiful cue. It doesn't matter if you're probably doing processes wrong, you're self taught so there's no right and wrong way, imho, just YOUR way. No one would know looking at the finished cue anyway.

[@barbaracarragher7012]

Absolutely beautiful!! Hope your wife is feeling better and heals quickly.

[@shotmkr2]

That's the most beautiful cue I've ever seen. Unreal!

[@govnasir2121]

A mountain of work! I felt so bad when the mill error happened. Nice recovery, and way to keep positive. Bravo on the whole thing!

[@FigaroandSalem]

Cue looks stunning for sure. How you got it done with your wife getting sick is even crazier. Didn't find how she got sick, but not our business anyway. Will keep her in my prayers. Hope you continue to grow in your building endeavors and keep up the beautiful work.

[@MyMiniDroneLife]

I felt the pain on that one, it came out awesome in the end. I hope your wife is feeling better!

[@Fallub]

Awesome workmanship! Wish I could afford one of those beautiful pieces of art! Thnx for sharing all your vids!

[@tariboclaxton2123]

The quality in the cues and in these videos is amazing. I'd love to order one some day

[@Hugoasrin]

OMG you are such an artist!

[@Stellarffxi]

This cue is incredible... You did some amazing work.

[@Stellarffxi]

Honestly looks like an $8000 cue. Curious what you charged for it....

[@deanlindholm8663]

Absolutely beautiful

Thank you!

[@dhan6965]

Masterpiece out of the ordinary, amazing

[@vincentgolden5352]

Absolutely Beautiful

[@shadow.banned]

You could do really cool shift knobs too. Those would sell. Like crystal clear + pink/green/white, etc flowers.

[@michaelfetterly7500]

That is awesome!!!

[@jamesradford9098]

I’m a retired tool maker and I have to say that is beautiful work! The fact that you are self taught is even more impressive. I’m interested in your equipment. I’ve never seen anything like it and I could use a hobby. Would you mind sharing what equipment you use?

[@Studiotronics]

Most of my stuff is old and was purchased used. But I should make a video showing everything. Soon. I’m a big fan of Unique Inc. The Cue Maker and their rage cnc are great products.

[@Boyagtang05_vlog]

Wonderful cue stick

[@nguyenletrunghieu4993]

Loving it bro !!!

[@jacks6423]

I know exactly squat about cues, but this was a joy to watch 🤌🏻

[@majortryhard78]

when I saw the bit hit i could instantly relate, and felt sick for you. Your commitment level is pro for sure.

[@mrmunyang2476]

Magic! Boss job my friend

[@Chandra041085]

That's a piece of art right there 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Momoschannel97]

Simply amazing man

[@maxschuster2354]

Amazing Cue!! And the lotus commentary was making me laugh out loud hahahah

[@user-neo71665]

That thing is beautiful.

[@truss6282]

Most excellent!!!

[@bigalthecrusher]

Great work as always! Hope your wife is feeling better!

[@ammoalamo6485]

Reminds me of Richard Black's "functional art" cues. Very well done, very beautiful. And I agree about the radial shafts. I think modern low deflection shafts are carbon fiber, with some hollow sections or light filling material.

[@YahyaAsvihany]

Sooo beautiful 😍

[@cardguys]

Great intro!!

[@hectorotani27]

Epic build ,pain and sorrow into build and awesome in the end ,I too have crashed router on 2 cues ,I know the heartache..

[@FrankvanLeeuwen-dc4yl]

I love the koi fish on it aswell. If i ever have a custom cue made it will be with a “ pond “ disigne….koi fish an lilly pads…. Beautifull work sir.

[@danielalfonsorivero5308]

Love this cue, Im really impressed, i would like to see in black.

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]
