Hey everyone,

I work at a high school and the wood shop teacher does some amazing work and is willing to do work on the side.
I asked him to build a box to store my cards in.

This was the finished product, I could not have asked for a more beautiful storage box.....what do you think?

    Looks great with the inscription in the wood.

    Hope nobody gets worked up over your box.

    Paul,

    Tell the shop teacher he does GREAT work. I love that you had him put that Clemente quote on it. image

    I should get one custom made to keep all my graded packs in. image

    Looks awesome, find the movie Chasing 3000 and that quote is a major part of the movie.

    What's the capacity? I made a clock for my father in shop class, I'm thinking I should have made something like that.

    I don't have the specs right now, but it's a little bigger than a Roop box.

    Super nice! I think the shop teacher could have a side business.

    Honestly, he just asked me today if there would be anyone else who would want one. I'm going to work out the specifics and get back about the prices.

    I would be interested in one. Maybe I can find a cool quote from
    a hockey legend and have it done just like yours.

    Empty, it's not that heavy, even though it's made out of mahogany. I haven't counted how many cards will fit into each row, but it looks between 40 and 50. With the cards in it, it's pretty heavy. Not something I would carry around all over the place.

    As for the engraving, it's done with a computer generated laser, so it can do almost any design.

    I need to speak to him first to make sure. I'm sure he will take orders.

    I'm going to upload some better pictures later today.

    I e-mailed the wood shop teacher and am waiting for a reply. As soon as I hear from him, I'll let everyone know.

    Paul,

    That box looks even better with your cards in it!!! Do you think he'd be able to make one to accommodate PSA and GAI graded cello packs?

    He made mine to my specifications. I'm sure he will make it to anyones specs, wood type, hardware. Measure your stuff, so you'll have an idea of the size of box you want.

    I also didn't mention that the dividers can be removed.
