Using that much water on wood will come back to haunt you at some point.. I was working with a really nice clear coated piece of wood once and decided to wet sand it as well. I was unlucky and the water found a crack to get to the wood .. The wood swelled and cracked the finish. Was a lot more work redoing the entire thing rather then avoiding water in the first place.. Wet sanding is fine for automotive work not really for wood :).

Thanks for the input. The person I learned from did it this way, he also used a good amount of water for linen wraps too. Not sure why he didn’t mention it. Was the wood you used dry and stable?

You do very nice work. I enjoyed watching.

Dear friend. I think It's finally after searching several videos. I finally managed to find it and that video is yours. I have to tried to find a craft lathe similar to yours and I haven't had any luck 😔 finding it yet, until I was able to watch your video. You have no idea how happy I was to see yours. If it's not idiscretion on my part, I could know where you got it. So I can get one just like yours, because I want to repair some of my pool sticks. I will be more than grateful if you could share this information. Thanks, Alex.

Question: Have a short side on my home table and need a shorty butt. Have a ton of uni loc shafts but the shorty cues I see aren’t uni loc. Would it be possible to have an 18” butt made with uni loc joint?

Please make sure to advert watchers to NEVER let sandpaper overlap while sanding by hand as you’ve done. You’re used to and know how far to go, new people won’t! That was my first AND ONLY Acident I had while using a lathe. Great video.

Good afternoon, sir. I have an old Moli (early to mid 70's based on my research. Green letters w/ box). I am wondering what you would charge to restore it. It's all original, except for the tip and bumper, and the clear is starting to really flake off (part of the lattering too). Can you also redo the label? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share.
