Nice job. Are you considering making more? Maybe make enough money to buy a nice cue ??? LOL I'm sure you'd find some buyers on here.
My first pool cue 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 on has cost (aside from the felt and gulley boots, which my sister bought) a whopping $10, which was spent on a can of glue.
And no, it's not my first DIY, the laminate that's on the rails is actually the material I used to make the pick guard for the guitar I built.
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 question, so I made my own.
It's made from a scrap piece of cherry plywood tubing, 3" OD, and is covered in naugahyde. The straps for securing the cap are made from leather.
Here it is:
Interior is completely covered in that white padding. (I think it's sound proofing material)
Small storage compartment in the cap, big enough for a small tip pick, scuffer, and chalk:
That looks very clean. Nice work! I'm kinda jealous.

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