Here are the spacers all stained and held down by bricks while the glue dries. The stain is leftover from a table I refurnished at work. Boss paid for the stain so bonus there.

Ok now for the post-mortem.
Things I did wrong:
I used too much glue attaching the liner to the bottom, Also didn't clean the liner before installing, and well some dirt is now glued in place
I was planning on using 1 big piece to dado the slots in then cut into 4 pieces. Couldn't find an appropriate piece of wood so I used 2X2s, Was hard to keep square to the fence so the slots aren't that straight. Have a few ideas on how to do it better next time.
Liner on the sides is not a great idea, didn't have much choice as the sides were pretty messy but when I do another if I can avoid, I will.
Yes I will need another But I am not sure if I will modify a box or just build my own. If I choose to build my own I will have to wait until late spring, its getting to cold to move everything outside the "garage" to do any wood working
Things I did right:
Cheap liner from dollar store worked very well aside from my glue mess up. I used 1/2 for the slots and spacers seems to be a very good choice.

Thanked: 23Nice box, and a great idea. Unfortunately I only have one razor at present, but I have a feeling I'll be needing a box like that before long!
