Last weekend we had a garage sale in my entire community. Guess what??... My wife woke me up around 6AM to go with her in her shopping spree. :SLEEP:
The early walk around my neighbors garages was completely worth it!!:snort: I found a box, but no a regular box..... a cigar box, a humidor one......for only $5 bucks!!
So I decided to start my project :thinking:.... my new WATCH BOX!
My wife, who always complain because of my $$$ spent in watches and accessories decided to help me. She pointed me to 2 craft stores: Michael's and Jo-Ann fabrics. (I felt kind of awkward going to this places by myself, it was like I was getting inside the movie "Cocoon" with some MILFs in the way)
Anyway, I found what I was looking for and here are the pics of the project:
The US $5 humidor box: It has a few scratches on it, but who cares? It has a glass view top!!
Peel 7 Stick felt : $0.99 each (4 in total)
Basswood Sheets: For the inserts to make the compartments. On sale $1 each (3 in total)
After 1 hour....
Velvet black Pillows: $2 per pkg of 3 (3 in total)
The final results:
So, in total I spent around $18+tax and around 3 hrs at my home office. The box as you can see fit 9 watches in a landscape orientation, one of the watches is a 64mm Invicta Corduba, the U-boat and Bell Ross fits perfectly.
The compartments size is 66mm x 77mm and the box is 27 x 24; but you can remove the inserts and make the compartments the size you want, or is customizable to 6 watches too.
Not bad for my first Wolf Design replica box, ehh?? Let me know what you guys think about it.
Thanks for looking!
