The end grows near. Looking good.
I like the project but I think that you are trying to fit 2 to many razors in the box. I don't care for the way the outside ones touch the edge.
I think it would look much better as a 5 razor set for this size of box
Very nice. That maple is going to look really nice stained.
Thanks to both of you - I value the opinions. I'm going to line the sides with the same felt I have in the bottom so that will keep the razors off the sides. I really needed a 7 razor box and this size will fit perfectly in my vanity drawer. That's why I custom made it - to get the size just right.
I had to file out some of the spacers to fit some of the thicker razors, in order to get everything in. With 130mm with which to work, these 10mm blocks where as tight as I could go - same as my smallest width for the dado blade stack. Tried to measure and eye the cuts but that didn't work so I built a box joint jig to get everything uniform and went from there.
So there were some constraints under which I was working - which drove much of the decision making.
Thanks for the feedback.

I really like seeing boxes being made. I've got a number of cigar boxes slated for conversion as that would be easier for me to start out without box making experience.
One way I've thought about securing for travel, is to take a memory foam pillow and slice off a small amount.
It can be covered with a material and that form fitting quality could be utilized.
That box looks great! Thanks for the ideas :)
Nice box and great that you have it perfect size for your set up. Had an idea for my own to make but just cannot get to it. Had some timber for months for it. One day
I like how it turned out - definitely a different look than the Theirs Issard box.
