These are the most amount of clubs I’ve set to cure at one time in over 14 years! Lol 😂 It was pretty fun! 🙂

Curiosity question.....does anyone tape graphite shafts anymore when cutting them?

I have not for years. I use a fine abrasive 42" belt the one I use to abraid tips on graphite to round off the butt very slightly.
Most of those old clubmakers norms have gone by the wayside ie. dimpling steel to create a void for a better epoxy bond.

LogicalOne Always. Just because it is the way I have always done it.

not unless they are black in color.

I still do. But I use a rod saw, not a chop saw.

I don't. I cut with a thin cutting disc on a bench motor. I have my shop vac hose mounted right below the cutting wheel. It sucks the dust and the shaft tip right into the tank.

sdandrea1 That is how a buddy cuts carbon fiber arrows to length. Done that many many times helping him out building arrows for customers.

KCee

LogicalOne I still tape them. Just habit I guess as the saw I have should be fine without it. I find it easier to see the cut mark on the tape too.

I do, as I use a rod saw as well.

I knew this cutting board would come in handy again! Lol! 🙂

Setting up! 🙂

What’s your opinion on the SLDR shafts?

Put the finishing touches on the Bridgestone J36 Irons I picked up a few weeks ago. Shafted them with the Nippon NS Pro 1040GH shafts from the Rick Astleys Bottom thread. Gof Pride Tour Wrap grips. I picked up a Reaming bit from Golfworks and they now have a. 370 bore. I made a jig for my drill press to keep the heads vertical. Stole the design from someone on here and made a couple of mods to it. Jig worked perfectly. I think I spent more time building the jig than it took to ream the heads.

We're getting a new washing machine tomorrow and it's a top load. I had to remove the large shelf we had mounted just over top of our old front load washer & dryer side-by-side. Spackle, sand, paint. Ready for the new machine.

Put this head on a FST Prowhite stepless shaft.
No pics of club. I've been ferrule shamed to death.
lol
Thanks to @Bravopilot

Spuzz I’ve had my own battle with ferrules lately. Especially the stupid ones that come with adapters! 🤨

Inventory is an issue here and thankfully I am out of the adapter/adjustable game now.
Would be nice to trade my last adjustable head I don't want now before I am tempted to shaft it up again
LOL

It's getting harder to find blue ones......

Spuzz pretty sure someone here could help you out with that...

I get lots of help here (thankfulfor that), but no takers so far in my BST ad.
No worries.
If you mean ferrules, I gave up years ago trying to keep up with all the different hosel sizes which is now made worse with the OEM adapter scam. I had an outdoor shed I could turn ferrules in using Acetone in peace but I am indoors now only.
Now it's done using nail polish remover and on a case by case basis (of if I post a pic and get ferrule shamed) lol
