Machinery to make cues

[ftgokie]

I am wanting to start and try to make me a cue. I am wanting to start out as cheap as I can. Once I get confidence, I will buy me a nice lathe and whatever machinery I need to do this with.

Anyone have any ideas on a place to get a inexpensive lathe to start out on, it does not have to be fancy, just needs to get the job done.

I bought 50 Dufferin bar cues with tips broke off them from a cpl local pool halls here and gave 25.00 for them all. That is what I am wanting to practice on at first, then go from there.

Any ideas on what would be something cheap but effective would be of great help.....Thanks!
