JB Case Highly Tooled Case

Another benchmark from JB... Congrats John!:D

I can't wait to get a case from you. I hope you've received the design of the case that I plan to order:)

Keep the faith brother! The really cool stuff is on the way. I am totally stoked to be "back in the saddle" so to speak. I have been working on a lot of new things on the interiors, some ergonomic stuff, and other little things that mean a lot.

Yup it's a lot of money for a case but you and I know that when it gets to this point it's not about being a cue case it's about making a statement. Damn good cue cases can be had for $50 as well as cues good enough for a world beater to beat the world with for another $50. Things like this and $5000 cues are well beyond the merely functional.

Glad you got the point of my post there.... It is wonderful work and really something to show off

But it is a bit busy its like a plaid shirt and some striped pants....too much going on...

I am however eagarly awaiting something "new" in case design..weight really isnt a problem for me, its not like I plan to go on a ruck march with the case :D but I want to see something new...not a jazzed up instroke...

I know you got it in ya JB.. lets see it !

How about reading the first line before you go off on me?

I did put it there before I put it here. I put it here to show it off. Sorry if that offends you man. It's also why I took out the price. I am just happy to be getting stuff done and look forward to sharing more with my community. That's ok isn't it? Thanks for looking though, I guess if you didn't want to see the case you wouldn't have clicked on the thread would you?

Yes...I really went "off on you". You didn't get any attention thus it allows you to flog your goods in the regular forum. What's next you'll turn this into a dating service?

Show a little decorum.

you get what you pay for. There is alot of work in that case and nobody works for free, I think thats alot of case for the $$, but it is a narrow market at that price range-the good thing is when you buy a case like that you only need to do it once, unlike buying the fake knock-off phony ones that the zippers tear out on etc.

also the type of lether can mqake a case double in price or triple, elephant cases are huge $$$, Real alligator is very expensive too especially if it comes off a big gator and has perfect scales (no damaged ones) Its possible to blow probably $6,000 on a case, the "sell down" theory works well, it desentifys the customers perception of the sticker shock, its like chips in gambling a $25,000 chip is just a different color than a $5 chip, in most casinos, some make the 25K chips a little bigger which is a pain when your playing craps because they are harder for the dealers to cut and organize. I havent ever played using them i have a friend who did and I went out with him alot and seen it all, wow a rack is $2,500,000 and he played big like this for about 18 months before the joints beat him down now he plays with 100-500 chips same game different color chips.
