Lots has been going on. I have two sticks with essentially the same name, and news on both. First, Miss Sarah Phim has sold. This is the orange and blue stick featuring the dancing lady… As a result of the transaction, I set up every stick on the site so you can add a primo […]
Before and after polish. See the ripples in the photo, in the purple section nearest the screw? Those are from 2500 grit sandpaper and Meguiar’s. Compare to the video, which is after 5000 grit and a different kind of Meguiar’s. It’s a whole nother somethin. There’s slop at the bottom of the butt. It’s unfinished […]
The stick as shown has a coat of wax that was once-buffed. It’ll get a buff and another coat today, plus some work (already completed) at the joint. The shaft has no ferrule or tip yet. It all comes together today and stick 1 will be ready to pack delicately and ship to Arizona. I’ll […]
I bet some social media censors go zoinks over that title. Anyhow! Look Ma! Look what I did!
Almost done. Sooooooo close. First video from earlier this afternoon. I’ve learned a lot of refinements to my process while building this stick. I’m polishing now, at 5000 grit. It’s looking good. Likely be back tonight with another video. With a layer of wax and a buff. I’ll add wax, let it harden and buff […]
Buffed to 3000 (grit). Nice shine, but we’re shooting for out of this world shine. I’ll buffed to 10000 grit before waxing.
I don’t like kicking myself in the behind but to be honest, every now and then it happens, and I turn around and I see I was right to do it, so I don’t say anything else about it. 😉 I redid the joint ends on all my sticks in progress. My initial plan for […]
The stick’ll get another in an hour, (it did, updated vid below) then sit 48 hours before sanding down and applying 15 coats of CA glue. Purple Object Ball Eater was Character Cues’ first purchased stick. It was also the first to benefit from my new Unique Products lathe, which is not shown in this […]
Video of the bolt going in, after sizing, and the bumper snuggling in.
