Members Vikefan Posted June 20, 2020 Members Report Posted June 20, 2020 Very Nice indeed!!! Where did you get the inside of the case? I've got two old George Pool Cue cases myself and they have a plastic frame which is wrapped in leather. Great Work!!! Vikefan Quote

To answer your question the interior is just molded foam tubing taken from an old case. It's not the greatest protection, but it weighs next to nothing so the case is super light at around 3.5 pounds. But, if I ever do another case, I will probably use one of those Ultrapad interiors that John Barton sells on his site. Quote
Members sparctek Posted June 22, 2020 Members Report Posted June 22, 2020 Beautiful work. Not to distract from your leather work, but I noticed one of your cues looks like an old Dale Perry, is that correct? Quote

It does kind of look like an older Dale Perry, but it's actually an early 90's Falcon. The other cue is a custom Lomax jump/break. Quote
Members sparctek Posted June 24, 2020 Members Report Posted June 24, 2020 Very nice. I've thought about making a leather cue case, I just haven't taken the plunge. I have a couple of the old George cases that i still use and really like them. Quote
Members Scootch Posted June 24, 2020 Members Report Posted June 24, 2020 To be honest cue case making is what got me into leather working and lead me to this site by searching for cue case building. I've yet to start one though. There are some old threads on this site from JB and Melton. Your case looks really nice and better than some of the early Justice cases in my opinion. For your thread choice, if you are hand sewing, I don't think anything is better than Tiger thread. I've been looking a pro edge burnishers but not sure if I want to go the drill press route or benching grinder burnishers. Great job on the case. Scootch Quote
Members victorl Posted June 24, 2020 Author Members Report Posted June 24, 2020 From the comments, it looks like there are quite a few people here who want to make their own cue cases. I would definitely love to see what you guys come up with, and it would definitely get me motivated to do another case as well. I have some other cue case ideas I want to try as well, such as an envelope or quiver-style case, but wanted to make sure I could build a standard case first before attempting something original.

Members undead Posted June 25, 2020 Members Report Posted June 25, 2020 That is great, makes me want to start playing pool again just to have en excuse to try making one. Quote
