Dwight Report post Posted August 19, 2011 Electrical conduit is not very often aluminum, . . . although it looks like it, . . . it is really galvanized steel. And it can be a bit on the rough side inside the pipes themselves. I've used enough EMT in one lifetime to be sure I would not use it for this job. I am no expert, . . . have never made one, . . . but if I had one of them high dollar cues, . . . I'd probably think seriously of putting it in a suede lined PVC pipe. Just some thoughts.

mlapaglia Report post Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Depending on the type of case you are making You can line the inside of the entire case with suede and then just make two side panels from top to bottom to make a chamber for the cue. Look at the picture below. Its for a 4 cue case but the concept is the same. You can also use felt or other fabric if you do not want to use suede but in my opinion suede is classy.

TwinOaks Report post Posted August 19, 2011 Do a search for "John Barton". He's a cue case maker, and had been gracious enough to post several threads on the topic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
