WOW - i love it Ralph
Have only two of these 12x24 with wheels, but nothing between 3 and 12 butts.
6x12 is a perfect size, and maybe it fits in a big suitcase, too.
So you could use it when you fly to the US :grin:

Oder wie machst du das mit den Cues wenn du rüberfliegst
Hab da echt Angst um meine Schmuckstücke

Beautiful case Ralf.

Very nice, Ralf. How do you like the Lite config. Is it easy to get parts out - don't have to "pour" them out of the case like the original Whittens??

Nice looking case Ralf. I really like the contrast of the tan leather and black!

Ralph, I have a couple of questions about this case as I have been contemplating on getting one myself. Answers to the below questions would be greatly appreciated my friend.

-Like Chris said above; do you have to pour the cues out of the case?
-How do the spacers work?
-When you close the lid does the lid "push" the cues down?
-Can you put the butts in with the pin up or do they have to go down?

I really like the color scheme of the case you pictured above. And, I like the fact that you chose not to add a shoulder strap. Not like your going to sling this thing over your shoulder on the bike right? Simply beatiful though. I love it.

I don't have this exact case, but I have three whitten cases so here's the answers based on owning those..

-do you have to pour the cues out of the case?

Usually; however it depends greatly on the diameter of the shafts and butts. The shafts I make usually have to be 'poured' out of the case, as they fit snugly. A Joss East shaft usually slides right out pretty easily. If they are tip up you can usually get your finger around the ferrule and pull the shafts out that way...

-How do the spacers work?

They work great! :wink: These are pieces of rubber that are placed in the bottom of each tube with a special 'tool' supplied with the case. You trim the rubber pieces to exact length- this makes each tube perfect length for the shaft to be put in there so it doesn't rattle around, and it is not 2" from the top where you can't get to it.

-When you close the lid does the lid "push" the cues down?

It can if your spacers and/or shafts are too long... Over-length cases can be made if you have a very long cue.

-Can you put the butts in with the pin up or do they have to go down?

They can go in either way. I prefer pin up and shafts with tip up. If you don't clean your tips before putting them in, it can mark the nice leather lid with chalk...
