Nice job. I made my cue case over 30 years ago using a solid piece of Brazilian mahogany which I routed out so no joints necessary. Lined it with red velvet from the curtains in my local pub 🍺when it was having a refit😂Wish those hidden hinges had been available at the time as I used four small butterfly hinges and four matching catches as well as two brown leather straps to keep it secure. Finished it off with three coats of yacht varnish sanded with 1200 grit between coats if I remember rightly. It’s picked up a few marks over the years but still looks pretty good. That Beauty you made will last for years if looked after👍
Great idea tracing the stuff out on the paper! The finished effect is really nice, I especially like the laser engraving. Good job on the little clasps also. I just did a project where I have some little clips and they were an absolute disaster to put in. They needed little nails and I had a really hard time trying to get them to be vertical and the right distance between the little clip and the larger part. You definitely are making some difficult stuff look easy!
Thanks Rob, it certainly felt unusual taking a more analogue approach to planning but it was a nice change. I'm glad I'm making it look easy! Although I wish it felt as easy as it looks haha
Nice job. I made a couple of these about 20 years ago by routering out a piece of 90x35 for the base & 90x19 for the top, then used craft felt for the inside. They were much better than the store bought ones but a bit heavy, yours looks awesome.
The case looks very nice. You did a great job on the staining and the laser engraving. Why didn't you also put some felt piece in the channel to protect the cue stick a like bit more?
Thanks for watching, yeah I could see why you would want it stabilized. But I figured that it wasn't in the old case, so it didn't have to in this one.
I'm an avid pool player (6 to 7 days a week) and TBH I would use that case to display a collector piece, but I would not use it for my typical use. First, the damn thing is so beautiful I'd be afraid of damaging the case, lol. Secondly, most of us pool nerds carry a LOT of other equipment with us. Typically we'll have an extra shaft, a break cue, a jump cue, a glove, chalk holder, towel, tip shaper, the list goes on and on. If you ever decide to build another (which I sincerely hope you do), here's a breakdown of what's usually in the bag. ua-cam.com/video/9Ni8-cUVz-E/v-deo.html I sincerely hope you make another one of these, your work is incredible and any player would be proud to have something with that level of craftsmanship.
Thank you for your kind words. Personally I think the greatest compliment I can be paid on any of my work is to see it being used. In this case the brief was for a new case to replace the one he had which I guess must've been a minimalist version as it was simply for a cue and chalk. Maybe I'll look at building another one day that can accomodate a full compliment of equipment.
I'm currently making my own wooden 1x4 cue case with no electric equipment whatsoever, yes its a challenge, yes its heavy, and I keep having trouble in finding those foam sheets since I don't know what they're called in the market here in the Philippines, so I was wondering if you could tell me what they're actually called 🥹 thank youuu🥹
Wow! Great job doing it all with hand tools, thats definitely not one of my strengths. In Australia the adhesive foam strips are called a weatherseal. They are put around doors to help reduce wind coming into homes. Here's an example on Amazon amzn.to/4c4th4R
Well done mate very clean finish job 👏 👍 👌
Thanks!
The tracing out on paper was something that I really liked and will be adopting in future on my own project great work
Thanks!
Your shop is awesome
Thanks!
Those hidden hinges are 💰💰💰🔥🔥🔥!!
They were tricky but I love the look of them!
@@RangeWoodworking Might have been tricky, but it was worth it IMHO. Cool project.
Nice work. And that's a solid dufferin cue there too
Thanks!

Wow that sounds like quite an impressive case Ian. It's nice you were able to incorporate a bit of history with the old velvet curtains too!
Great work buddy! Enjoying your content! Keep up the solid vidoes, man!

Very cool project
Thank you Damon!
mate, you measured that inner gap like it owed you money 😜 great job, looks a million bucks!
Haha thanks! I wish I always measured things like they owed me money. It would save a lot of frustration!
I just subscribed to your channel and I'm completely impressed on this pool case! I'd love to see more stuff like this!
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad you liked the video! I actually have another box video coming up in the next couple of weeks.
@@RangeWoodworking can't wait to see it! Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one of your cases. Don't see them like that here in America.

Thanks, Mick! I imagine those you made are still standing strong today.
Stunning piece. Great job.
Thanks!

Thanks for watching. I honestly don't remember why I didn't. It may have been an aesthetic decision?
That's a really nice personalized case man
Thanks mate!
Really nice case. If it was my case I would won’t my cue stabilized inside case.
Thanks for watching, yeah I could see why you would want it stabilized. But I figured that it wasn't in the old case, so it didn't have to in this one.
Adorei muito!
Thanks!
enjoyed your video..can you tell me what engraver you have?
Thanks! It's a Sculpfun S9 I think. I got it off Banggood.
Please tell me where I can purchase the Hidden hinges bored into the case.
Here's an Amazon link to them! amzn.to/3TeMmKc
Have ya ever made a pool q
And case?
I've made a cue before. At the moment I don't have a lathe or any woodturning experience so I wouldn't even know where to start!
CJ Wiley?? Maybe? Maybe?😊
Haha I'll stick to woodworking. My pool game is very sub-par.

For the love of God, use a push block/stick before you lose your fingers...
