RustyMelton Posted November 8, 2009 Report Posted November 8, 2009 Hi all, Here's a couple pictures of one of the cases I've recently finished up. I thought it turned out pretty nice but would like to hear some other opinions. Thanks for looking and for any comments! Rusty Quote

RustyMelton Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) That looks awesome!!! How did you finish the inside? Thanks Brad, The case is built around a piece of plastic, so I took some foam backed material and made sort of a sock out of it with dividers for 5 pieces. I use these for 2 cue butts and 3 shafts. It's a pretty tight squeeze but the do fit snugly and no parts of the cues touch each other. Here's a picture of what the interior looks like, sorry it's not the best picture but it should give you an idea of how it went together. Thanks for the compliment and the question. Rusty oh edited to say this was an interior from a past case but it's the same style. Edited November 8, 2009 by RustyMelton Quote

Storm Thanks Storm, I really appreciate the compliment. This style is sort of hard to sew up. The seam overlaps and you have to reach up it with the needle, there's a lot of blindly poking around involved, lol. But it makes for a nice look with the seam laying flat so I think the extra effort is worth it. Quote

Oh I understand....it was your first time...sometimes that means taking your time until you get the hang of it and all of the ins and outs.
