The huge level of machinery in cue workshops from bespoke cue makers.
If the majority of the work done (and the shaft is very important) on a cue is completed using machines is the cue really 'hand made'?
Cue Craft will happily make me a cue for £100 to my specs. They'll use lathes, jigs, sanding machines, tenon machines for the ferrule; you name it. I won't care; I'll get a machine made cue to my specs, with a bit of hand plane finishing for not many beans. Is it then acceptable for cue makers to charge £300, £500, £1000, £1200 on a cue made the same way to the same specs?
Do you see value if cue 'makers' are using industrial processes. J6 is different, he's manually putting a lot into his cue and making sure they play well. I see value there.
'Hand Made' Cues - Do they have any inherent value?
