I need some suggestions for a case of some type to protect my Dancing Springs Table.

Here is a picture from Charlie Fenn's website, just to give you an idea of what the table looks like.

I would like to avoid a road case because the case can cost more than the table.

As a side note, dealing with Charlie is a pleasure. When you buy a table from him, Charlie stands behind everything he sells. I had a small problem with the table that was not his fault, and he sent me the necessary items to correct the problem and step by step instructions for the fix. Charlie is a top notch guy.

I've packed my things in anything from canvas covers to simple plywood cases with foam jammed in around the prop inside. How inexpensive and how much protection are the things you need to decide.

I had a seamstress make me a large bag. It has two sides for the base and top, and I had a sleeve made for the pole. Works very good and is easy to transport.
I can take some pictures and send to you if you would like.

I forgot to mention it cost less than $20 total.

Why not get a cheap fiber case made for it? Get it unlined and line it yourself. There may be a cheap fiber drum hardware case that will fit, too.

I suggest you just make some bags with pad already built in them, like the material sold a fabric shops for oriental clothing. It has fabric on both sides and fiber padding between the material.

I think a Pullman luggage case will hold the complete table. Then, you will have room for other odds and ends.

Hey bro,

Got a couple of leads for ya. Call me tomorrow.
