<html><body>Tony Great project and it sounds like it's way cheaper than the REBOXX product Would you be interested in doing this again and demonstrating the technique at the Club?

The foam is the premium grade electronics type I had custom cut at Bob’s Foam in Fremont and then glue together with Dan Tack. Box material – Arron Brothers heavy stock board – about $5 for a 4’x5’ Box top wrapper – green paper poster board Wal-mart – about $1 Box bottom wrapper – white wrapping paper Wal-Mart 300 ft roll $9.00 or use white poster paper board Corner reinforcement paper – saved brown paper bags cut to size 3M spray adhesive – Wal-mart about $9.00 Foam – Bob’s in Frement Dan Tack – foam adhesive, get from Bob’s $14 or ebay $10 Tools needed are – measurement stick, straight edge for cutting, cutter – large X-acto or utility knife, pencil, and a square is helpful. Then if you have a large table top work area you can make several boxes on a weekend. The black top box was wrapped with black gift wrap paper – which is not very durable. The poster type paper is very good -available in green, blue black, red, yellow. If you want to learn how/need help make some boxes let me know. Here’s some pics. . . . <img width="822" height="463" style="width:8.5583in;height:4.825in" id="Picture_x0020_11" src="cid:image004.jpg@01D30EB6.4503F3C0"><img width="822" height="463" style="width:8.5583in;height:4.825in" id="Picture_x0020_12" src="cid:image010.jpg@01D30EB6.4503F3C0"> <img width="822" height="463" style="width:8.5583in;height:4.825in" id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image011.jpg@01D30EB6.4503F3C0"><img width="822" height="463" style="width:8.5583in;height:4.825in" id="Picture_x0020_5" src="cid:image012.jpg@01D30EB6.4503F3C0"><img width="822" height="463" style="width:8.5583in;height:4.825in" id="Picture_x0020_7" src="cid:image013.jpg@01D30EB6.4503F3C0"> </div> </body> </html> <html><body>_______________________________________________ Accrs mailing list Accrs@mail.accrs.org https://mail.accrs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/accrs </body></html></html></blockquote></body></html>
