RustyMelton Report post Posted October 17, 2009 Hi guys and gals, I haven't posted anything in a while and have a few extra minutes so I thought I'd show a pool cue case that I'm about to finish up. It's a little bigger than most of them that I do, it holds 3 cue butts and 6 shafts. I thought it turned out pretty good but thought I'd post it to get a few other opinions on it. Please let me know what you think, all comments are welcome. Thanks for looking, Rusty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnBarton Report post Posted October 18, 2009 Rusty, Your skills are really tight now. In every case you do I see the wheels turning in your head about how to improve on the last one. Watching you has been an amazing progression from the raw talent of your first cases to these. The thing I really love about this one is the way you softened the edge on the small part of the lid to allow the case to have an nicer profile. Instead of making the lid a teardrop you have made the shape much more pleasing to the eye and it probably works better too. This is a truly nice effort. If I had one critique it would be ergonomic. As a user I would not like to have the handles done the way you have done them with hard edges. I know that you rounded the edges of the side handle a bit but with a case this size and the type of leather you use it's not light and a user won't be able to comfortably carry the case for long. I never thought of this as much of a problem until I went to Vegas for nationals and had to carry my case for a mile or so from one end of the casino to the other. Normally we think of going 100 feet from the car to the pool room. So perhaps you may want to think about this aspect for future cases and have a solution in mind. I have to say though that what you did definitely looks very sleek and fits the case well. I am sure that the owner will be very proud and pleased to own this case.

RustyMelton Report post Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate them. John you're right about the lid, I think it looks better that way and it for sure opens and closes better that way. The handle is the one he wanted but I'm sure you're right that in no time you'd be feeling it especially with the weight of this case. I've been staying home working so much that it's sometimes easy for me to forget about carrying the case around, mines just been collecting dust in the corner for quite a while now. Thanks for the tips, I love to hear them. Thanks again guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rayban Report post Posted October 25, 2009 That's a great looking work of art!! The pool halls I frequent, I would have to strap that to me so it wouldn't "walk out". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
