How to Videos!
Welcome to the Billiards Innovations Learning Center
At Billiards Innovations, our goal is to share the knowledge, techniques, and precision methods that define professional cue-making. These educational videos are built for serious craftsmen — from beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced makers looking to refine their process and embrace modern machining. Every tutorial is created with one mission in mind: to elevate your craftsmanship through understanding, accuracy, and innovation.
Learn the Craft of Cue-Making — Step by Step
Every how-to video we produce is designed to do more than just show you what to do — it teaches you why each step matters. Whether you’re shaping your first cue or improving your workflow after years of experience, these lessons provide a clear, practical path to mastering the craft.
Each tutorial is built around real-world shop methods used in professional cue-making every day. You’ll see genuine workflows, detailed setups, and the reasoning behind every cut, taper, and finish. From traditional hand processes to advanced CNC machining, you’ll learn how to achieve precision, consistency, and artistry in your work.
These videos combine over 30 years of hands-on experience with modern innovation in cue-making technology. Topics range from material selection, joint construction, and wrap grooves to precision inlays, ring billets, and taper logic — always with a focus on accuracy, tool longevity, and repeatability. You’ll also gain insight into advanced machining principles such as micro-endmill speeds and feeds, step-over control, and depth-per-pass optimization — the kinds of details most tutorials never address.
The goal is simple: to help cue-makers at every level build better cues, avoid costly mistakes, and understand the science behind the art. Each video delivers professional-grade instruction in a clear, approachable format so you can immediately apply what you learn in your own shop.
Explore the collection, expand your skill set, and start creating cues that embody true craftsmanship and innovation.
