    Prop Box?

    Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has any great ideas on how to make or where to get a box to hold a couple dozen props? I have been (slowly) learning to sharpen and balance my own to an acceptable degree and of course would like protect them against eachother. The only other thing I have setup is a couple small boxes with foam in them with slots cut into the foam. It doesnt work well. I have some ideas for building a box but that would take as long as sharpening a few props. Thanks for any ideas and help.

    I just scored at the sporting good store, there was this small camera-bag sized bag with 3 plastic containers inside - fly holders. It was $25 and it will hold close to 50 props. Go to the fishing dept and ask for a lure or fly case. Comes with a shoulder strap!

      I have a plano clear plastic box I found in the fishing department. What I did was pull out the seperaters and drill a 3/16 hole and glued a rod to it. Works pretty good.

        Here is what I use. Cheap and effective. I stole this idea from Egneg! No modding needed

              Unfortunately some props are larger than 1 7/8" though. Sweet looking setup though. Thats kinda why I keep thinking a custom box but goshthat would be work for a retired gentleman.
