Slide Box 1

Posted by Brian Thompson on March 20, 2017 at 10:12am
I decided to make a box to house my ever growing slide collection in....Thanks to some sage advice form Uncle John I also recently added some ceramic slides to my collection. Good call Uncle John, really really nice, and thank you so much for the tip! I've added a few more pics today showing a few of my recent slde aquisitions, hope everyone enjoys seeing them.

    The slide box was so simple to put together....just a bit of walnut stain, some nice brass corner protectors and a sheet of 30mm high density upholstery foam. After I'd applied the f-hole stickers, I sprayed on some satin acrylic and rubbed it down with some ultra fine steel wool. I made the holes in the foam with some hollow punches, a 19mm and a 25mm for the larger ones.

    Yes, really appreciate the advice Uncle John and I'm really enjoying them. The tone and feel are really nice, and the 'stubbies' are an ideal weight. The big ones take a bit more 'handling' but it's all part of the fun!

    You are most welcome on the ceramic slide thumbs up.  That is a great looking slide box.
