The biggest work in progress is reorganizing the shop, build techniques, and a new business plan.

The new CNC 4 axis router, BobCAD-CAM software, and Mastercam software open up unlimited possibilities in cue construction, cue designs, signage, and engraving.

100 cues are being built as an inventory and replaced as sold so that the inventory will always be 100 cues. If you want a custom cue now is the time as I can build it as part of the regular inventory at regular inventory price.

Cue options such grip, woods, and ferrule materials are also shown in the gallery. Send an email for a list of specific options.

Projects in the works include a jump cue and a break cue which will be revealed and produced when there are sufficient finances for a patent.

Projects that I might reintroduce are a high-tech shaft and a stress relieved flat laminated shaft. Both are very expensive, time consuming, and difficult to make but their unique playing characteristics might appeal to some regardless of cost.

Below are two health tips that you might find useful. New tips will be added on a regular basis so check back regularly.

Travelling and shift work both result in sleeping whenever and wherever it is convenient regardless of lighting.

    A sleeping mask which works extraordinarily well, costs less than $5, is available everywhere, stores easily, is wrinkle free, and allows some artistic license with colour options is described below.

    Buy a microfiber washcloth and winter stretch headband normally for used keeping your ears and forehead warm while holding your hair in place in the winter. For most guys over 50 the headband only keeps memories in place instead of hair.

    Fold the microfiber washcloth so it is slightly wider than the headband and place the folded microfiber over your eyes and hold it in place by using the headband.

    This system is scratch free, excludes all light, stays on, does not impair hearing, and is extremely comfortable to wear.

    Because the headband is stretchy it puts slight pressure on the eyes which combined with REM sleep seems to have a Shiatsu eye massage effect improving the quality of sleep while reducing night sweats.

Another work in progress is a great cup of coffee. For a great cup of coffee dip a wooden stir stick in Manuka Honey (UMF 25/MGO 550) and put the stir stick in with the fresh ground coffee then brew in a filtered drip style coffee maker. This coffee also seems to be a tonic and ameliorate the effects of diabetes. If you find the sleep mask or coffee advice helpful help a starving artist by sending $2 for a virtual cup of coffee to trueheartbilliardcues.ca by PayPal. If we meet in a real coffee shop you are buying. Buy one of my cues or products and I will buy you a coffee.

     Cheers!
