Wow, those look cool. The rope makes them look very nautical. I searched around and couldn't find anything on bamboo cases, I guess I didn't use the right search terms. I'll post pictures etc. of my progress once I start on it. If it's easy enough to make I might make a few more and sell them...

Wow, that ash is beautiful! Nice find!

I haven't had a lot of interest in pool lately, so I haven't been on here, but I had another idea for a cue case last night so I thought I'd post it: Bamboo. It's the perfect material; long, straight, hard as a rock, all you would need to do is punch out the dividers, add a little padding and...

If you made money from selling it, why should you care what the buyer does with it? Live and let live.

Most places don't even offer military discounts, much less free services. Kudos to you. :thumbup:

Cheers guys! The .45 shells wound up being the exact size of the pearl that was on there, so it worked out perfectly. We finished the table today! Closeup of the ball return (with some ancient balls in it) and the aluminum laminate covering the frame underneath the slate Fixing the chips in...

Nothing at the mo'. :( Hoping to go by a few pawn shops this weekend and check out the inventory, if I can't find anything I like in my price range, I'll go to kmart and get a Minnesota Fats graphite cue. I hate not having a job.

Thanks, I'd say it weighs about 1 1/2 pounds (just a guess, it feels about the same as a cue).

Excellent idea, I love it! Never would've thought to look for a cue in a fiddle case.

Thanks! The tube is a cutoff from a something my dad did at his work (he builds custom commercial cabinets). I have no idea what it was used for, but it's perfect for this: it's feather light, but you could probably stand on it without breaking it. Indeed they are. The pool table we're working...

Holy wow, beautiful inlay work! I'm jealous, Chuck.

Wasn't sure where to put this, so sorry if it's in the wrong place. For the last month or so (on and off) my dad and I have been working on restoring my brother in law's pool table. We're actually almost done with it now, we're going over soon to get the cloth on the slate and finish it up. I...

Well in that case, I'm honored. Nah, don't think my dad's lathe is long enough. I might be able to turn out a 40" cue at most. I actually thought about doing that, too bad it was after I had already finished. :p Well, including the cost of the naugahyde and tube, $0. It was made from scraps...

Wow, wasn't expecting this kind of reception, thanks a lot guys! Here's a pic with a cue in it (not my cue, I haven't bought one yet.)

First post here, just thought I'd show off the pool cue case that I made. As I'm about to have regular access to a pool table, (currently helping my dad restore one for my brother in law) I thought it appropriate to get my own cue. As I don't have much money atm, buying a case was out of the...
