A little more tinkering and a lot more sanding and shaping and I think I will like them!
Those are cool. Good job!
You did it ! I'll take 200 with Duck labels on them :<0)
Okay.. Give me about 2 years..... :deal:Quote:

Very nice. Alot more sturdy than the cardboard ones. How about some info on how they were made?
Very nice job. Funny thing, the Puma cases look like wood, but all that I've had or seen are plastic of some sort.
Like most things I do, I just mess around and do it for myself.Quote:

The hard part is figuring out the dimensions so everything fits nice and tight.
The GREAT part is you can adjust them to fit ANY razor you own!
Yes they do "look" like wood. It sure doesn't smell like it when you sand them though... LOLQuote:

my FIL has quite the home woodshop and a good buddy of mine is a master carpenter(Schreinermeister) and has access to all kinds of cool wood.
Once I figure it out for myself... I will try and post a how to.
Yeah, I can confidently say that I like them already!Quote:

Excellent skills, they look really nice.
Schweet! Now. What kinda wood? Suppose it is a bit moist? Sealing the inside? What did Puma do on their boxes?
Inquiring minds need to know! :D
The Puma Boxes are not wood,they are Bakelite.Quote:

WoW!
VERY NICE!
I was looking at some of my Straights without boxes.....
Wish there was an easy of making some..... I sure could some.
Those wooden ones are fantastic!
The puma boxes were made from a very rare tree which is now extinct called bakelitis nonwoodus.
Actually, looking closer at the 2 puma boxes i have, there a small logo on the box, Durofol.Quote:

In the 1960s and 1970s was the style of many public transport from durofol. Later, they were mostly replaced by upholstered seats. Another application area were pistol grips. Today you can find durofol still in handles of cutlery .

No idea how you achieved them but a great job was done for sure, I love the wood colours on yours
I have enough trouble folding cardboard with a template and getting it right for boxes LOL
Those are really beautiful , excellent work!
With the advent of small, cheap 3D printers, it is very easy for even the layman to produce a well fitting and functioning replica of just about anything. Food for thought! :hmmm:
The one is Red Box Elder the other is Walnut?Quote:

Puma does have a coating of something on them I do believe. :thinking:
