My Dad is a member of a K-9 Search and Rescue team.  lately he has been getting more stuff for base camp operations, one of which is coordinating the search on a map.  The maps need weights to hold them down. So Dad bought these really nice brass weights.  Two magnifiers, one clock and one compass.  But they did not offer a box to put them in.  Made this box and lined it with foam I had saved from various shipping boxes.  Took some time to get it all cut out and supported but it came out pretty good.  The middle dividers are a sandwich of one layer of foam, some 5mm plywood and then another layer of foam.  No nails or screws, just glue and slip joints to keep everything in place.  Inspired by @steven newman.  Except for the paint.   I finished the inside as individual pieces them glued it all as one solid box.  Cut it down on the bandsaw and some minor flattening with hand plane.  (Thanks @p_toad)  

 

 

Dad requested yellow, and some reflective tape as well as this type of hold down.  I like the hold downs because you can adjust them for more tension or less as needed with little effort.  Buy them in sets of 10 at a time, many uses.  No fancy woods, just some scraps and some oil based yellow paint.  Should last a long time.

 

 

 

  

 

Nice! Sturdy boxes like that really protect the contents. I used to teach Scuba diving and made a lot boxes for gauges and and delicate equipment

Thanks, goes good with his other box I refurbed awhile back.  Has 4 scent articles used for training.  Gets alot of abuse he said but still works good.  The loud colors keep people from walking away with them.  

 

That came out excellent Gunny!

My Dad picked up his box. Very pleased with results. Brought me this.  LED swing arm light with magnifying glass.
