Clayton717 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I was running out of room to keep my stock of pens and bottle stoppers so I built myself a box. It will keep them safe and I'll have everything with me when I take it to show people. The three drawers will hold 96 pens and it will hold 11 bottle stoppers on top. Along with business cards and pouches for the pens and stoppers. Overall size is 16" wide x 12 1/2" deep and 10 "tall. Made from "flaming" box elder. I turned the knobs and the handles and scrolled out the latch. Quote
Dan Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 Great idea! Did you rout the grooves for the pens? Did you use felt or flocking? Yup, I'm looking at doing something like that soon. Thanks. Dan Quote
