Looks amazing. I would suggest for your next one, if you're ever comissioned to do it again, is to not have anything solid like the holders you have for the cue. As the case moves this can scuff/dent the cue, especially if it's dropped. Also, it would be good to have some sort of protection in the ends of the cases so it doesn't get scuffed when stood up on the floor. Besides those minor details, this has really made me want a case like this!
Suggestion for your mitred spline jig. Have you thought about toggle clamps at either end? On the subject of suggestions, there seems to be a lot of dust from your table saw at times and even more from your belt sander, despite your extraction. I cant see how extraction could be made better on your belt sander so maybe an air fed respirator such as the 3m? Like eyes and a couple of other things, we only have a pair of lungs! Nice box 👍👍👍👍
Well if i saw the player turn up to play against me with that case, i would concede and go home .... truly beautiful piece ! ... Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year Graham 🎄
Outstanding from the design, to the choices of woods, to the details, to the finish. Excellent project sir. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. GT Workshop.
Couple questions for you..... 1. When a client gives you "freedom of design," do you struggle getting started? I suffer from analysis paralysis and tend to have trouble making decisions in the direction I want to go. 2. I'm also a K3 user, and I find the over arm dust collection options are all rubbish. I wonder if moving the suction to the front of the blade would capture more of the dust. Beautiful case and nice use of jigs. Well done
No, and yes. No for the majority of this order, it was just the hardware I really struggled with, 'I like it but will they like it?' running around in my head for far to long, it was almost to late to get it delivered before Christmas. 🤣 and yes I have been scratching my head about dust collection in front of the blade, I'm thinking a seperate vac with a wide yet thin inlet??
@GTWoodshop I've been thinking the same thing for dust collection. Some sort of over arm setup but with the hose angled toward the front of the blade. I think a 4" port on the side of the blade would obstruct your view, impede processing material, and may create too much suction, potentially causing the guard to pull into the blade. I wish I had the time to dedicate to a project like this. For the time being, I'll have to live with wearing the dust
Well done sir, a very beautiful result that will be cherished for years to come. I couldn't help but wonder how many screws are in the bottom of the jar. Merry Christmas. Steve
Sorry young man but as a pro player myself I would chuck that in the bin. It is too heavy to lug around, only two clasps are needed and the handle goes on the sides with the clasps. Yeah it looks nice but is just impractical and the chaps cue will be a two piece cue. Also the baize should cover all wood inside.

Gave me some inspiration for my cue case if it’s half the job of that one I’ll be happy
Great work sir I doff my cap

Graham, supprised you didnt use the new Bandsaw for your re-sawing! Much less waste and easier cut

Very nice
Very nice work and outstanding result ! Good job!!

Beautiful, the finish looks great. Somebody going to be a proud owner of a cue case. Do pencils have legs?😀😀😀
Yes they do 🤣
Beautiful job. You were brave knocking-in the barrel hinges! Merry Christmas.
Very. 😁
Fantastic workmanship as always. Best wishes for Xmas and the new year 👍
Great project. I am sure it will bring more commissions. Yes, I love the Poli finishes very simple to use.
Beautiful work, always enjoy your watching your videos.
Turned out absolutely amazing great job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎄🎊🍾

"Analysis paralysis" sounds like me. I can make anything from a drawing but always scratched my head on design! Its proportion i struggle with.

Thanks Steve, but you've got me on the screws question, have to give me a minute on that one. lol
Ah, I get it, took me a while but I;m with you now Steve. 🤣
Awesome job Graham....Merry Christmas 🎉
Thanks Mark.
A pleasure to watch. Keep them coming!
Beautiful work again. If you remove the supports it could be a lovely snake coffin 😅
🤣
