Boredom and cash are dangerous for me LOL Seeing all these projects forum members have done inspired me to do a mini-project, if you will. Bear in mind I'm kind of good with craft type stuff, I'm by no means a skilled wood worker, stainer, etc. So I went driving and ended up stopping at Michaels and Home Depot. $20 later I ended up with the materials to make a small display box for my meager razor collection. It's simple, but for a first attempt, I'm not too disappointed with it.
Here's the box after sanding and reassembly...

Later I will explore embellishing the outside a bit more, plus I want to add additional side hinges to hold the lid open and upright. Well thats it... now off to watch some old black & white serials lol

Excellent
-
Very nicely done.
-
Awesome!
-
Wow very nice.
-
That's really cool. Are the razors secured in the box somehow? Or just loose?
-
Very Nice! I especially like the round mirror placed into the square space. That is a very nice design touch.
I have a "thing" for boxes. I have done quite a bit of traveling in my day. Once of the things I try to buy in every country I visit is a small box. I have dozens of them around the house. Wooden boxes, ceramic boxes, lacquer boxes, etc. etc.

@WWM: That is very nice. You might need another box with growing collection. :D

Very nice, sir.
-
Thats awesome bro
-

They are just loose for now. I couldnt think of a way to secure them so I didnt do anything as of yet lol That may change. It's primarily a display box, not meant for transport or travel...

So do I! I love wooden boxes primarily. Always coming up with a use for them. Real or imagined use ;)
-
Thanks guys! This was a just a spur of the moment thing. As Warhawk said, I'll most likely either soon outgrow this box or have to make another LOL

Why rush yourself....Just like you take your time with your DE shaving, take your time and build the box the way you want to!
-
Looks great, man!

True.. and I'm in no real rush, but I just won a PIF contest on another forum and have at least 2 more razors enroute LOL
-
Stunning work there! Love it.

Looks great

Totally awesome box that you made to display your razors. Great job.
Take care.
