Thanked: 530My first razor case :D
So, I was home from campus for the weekend and, while helping mom clean the basement, I found a display case with two rows of racks, each with 8 holes, asking what it was, My mother told me it was from when my sister used to collect a souvenir spoon from every location we visited (my family used to travel a lot, she apparently had a lot of these racks filled.. .this was just the only one left)... I got an idea, and asked if it was needed anymore. She said I could do what I wanted with it, so, borrowing my father's dremel, I went to work. I started by gently removing the top rack of 8 cut-in holders (the holders are small circles, roughly the circumference/diameter of a pencil, and there is a gap about a half to 3/4 that size in the front to allow the spoon being hung there.) And by gently removing it, I mean tearing it out, breaking it in half in the process... It was stapled in through the left and right walls. I tapped the staples out, then went to work on the rack. I basically took a dremel with a sanding bit that was a tad larger than the current hole (a little shy from the size of a Sharpie) and dremeling a clean path through each holder... Then I lowered this rack, superglued it in, and considered it done....
Not really much work, but it went smoothly, somewhat cleanly, and works very well.. I think it looks great for my first time EVER using a dremel... Here are some pictures (You can see in the pictures what the holders original size was, I left the bottom alone, and hold the Tail in it, then I put the scales up into the top part I dremeled out)
