I really like this! great job

Did you make your own linings? if so, can you get me started on my own impending project.

Thanks for sharing!

The lining is Suede-Tex, which is a flocking kit I got at Lee Valley. You simply paint the inside of the box with a special paint, then spray loose fibers into the paint and wait until it dries. Similar to blown insulation for house. It is very easy to use and you get perfect results. It comes in different colours (both fibers and paint). See http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=44669&cat=1,250,43298,43300.

Thanks for the tip on the flocking gun. I'd always wondered how well it worked. Sounds like a good solution.
