- Its just a box right? and a box is a box right?
Well not quite, when the length is more than 20 times the width, its starts to get a little difficult.

Very nice work and outstanding result ! Good job!!
Very nice
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.
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 👍👍👍👍
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.
A pleasure to watch. Keep them coming!
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 🎄
Beautiful work again. If you remove the supports it could be a lovely snake coffin 😅
🤣
Beautiful very nice God bless
Graham, supprised you didnt use the new Bandsaw for your re-sawing! Much less waste and easier cut
Beautiful job. You were brave knocking-in the barrel hinges! Merry Christmas.
Very. 😁
Beautiful work.
Great work, Merry Christmas.
Awesome job Graham....Merry Christmas 🎉
Thanks Mark.
Beautiful, the finish looks great. Somebody going to be a proud owner of a cue case. Do pencils have legs?😀😀😀
Yes they do 🤣
Turned out absolutely amazing great job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎄🎊🍾
Thank you Jim and to you sir. 👍
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
"Analysis paralysis" sounds like me. I can make anything from a drawing but always scratched my head on design! Its proportion i struggle with.
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
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. 🤣
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.
Thank you for the info.
