Letting things air out, so the insides will dry, too....

need to design a name plate to add to the holder....and figure a way to add on inside the lid, to hold any paperwork, size charts...

Stay tuned

Thanks. Waiting on the finish to dry, before I can start on a smaller box for the Pipe Taps and the pipe Die...

First coat of clear gloss poly is applied,,,,waiting on that to dry a bit...then see IF it will need a second coat...

Since the varnish was out, and the brush was handy...had a few other wood handles in need of a bit of finish....bench is now full of sticky, smelly objects....

This project makes me realize how much I hate blow molded cases. This case is just so much better. Thanks.
