Cases

[Wity]

There's no need for it honestly and probably not enough room for it either. Most cue butts ae 30mm amd the inner size of the water pipes are 32mm. A wedge of foam in the base and the leather wheel does the job great. I place a cube of chalk on top of the tip and having cut each tube to the right length the rubber cap keeps it all firmly secured.

I bought fifteen 3 meter lengths of the stuff then had a hell of a time finding the right size caps (made fo fishing poles)and bungs (made for tubular chairs). If you can buy just one length or a half of one, sand them down and spray paint them they look great and really are tough.

Look closely at the sizes though theres two 32mm type pipes available over here and the cheaper ones aint even 30mm.

See what you can find over there and if you want a cap and bung or two postage on them aint gonna be much I can check that out.

You read my mind, Wity! (I just responded to your thread )

I might actually have a painted waterpipe from a college art project that, I'm not sure it's long enough but I'll reckon I could try with it. And if not, Home Depot is just a mile away as noted

Half of me is thinking that a foam lining inside the pipe would be a great feature, even with the anti-rattle ring...

Better than a rubbish vinyl thing, stronger than an ali case, painted in any colour you want, all in for $25 unpainted $35 painted easily.
Just buy a length of 32mm water pipe tubing from a homebase type store in the usa say $10, a can of paint $5 some lacquer $5 and i'll send you a top cap and base plug and my unique patent pending anti rattle device for say $15 inc postage.

no its junk.

[TheStranger]

no but try mastercue in thailnd - it would be the same to ship to the usa as to here.

Just sent them a message asking about their cases, they look nice.

I saw this on Ebay just now:

About $20 shipping to the US. Worth it?

shipping would be nasty - maybe $80-$90

Know of anyone in North America that has one-piece cases available? Shipping probably wouldn't be bad staying on this side of the pond.

Just saw this thread and as NONE of the billiard shops here in this part of California seem to have cases for one-piece cues I do wonder if you have an affordable rate for shipping a one-piece case here (and how long that would take).

[ADR147]

was I - must check the prices!

[LWB]

I seem to recall you were going to charge me £30, sheer favouritism .

[ADR147]

[Alex0paul]

Do you have a photo or anything and do they hold two cues (or one cue plus extension)?
