    Good video mate, I do it very similar, just use a Stanley blade on its own and angle the blade and turn the cue to trim into the trumpet shape and use a small nail file to finish around the edges and still burnish the edge with a strip of worn down wet & dry

    Absolute pain in the hole to do these tips, done one on my own cue fine, then doing one for someone else I kept going too far and there was a very sharp edge between the dome and the sides of the tip.

    What is your recommendation to paste exactly in center the tip 9.5 or 10 on the 9.4 ferrule? Tanx

    Is there any real reason to implant chalk into a tip during the manufacturing? As far as I can tell it makes your fingers dirty and gives your glue to potential to not stick. Everyone chalks after anyway!

    Hi I`ve watched this video a few times now, simply because I enjoy the whole process. It did occur to me however........ would it have been easier to mushroom cut the tip before gluing it on to the shaft? Just a thought. Thank you. p.s. Keep the videos coming.👍

    Why do this instead of getting a proper shaft with desired tip size ?
