From: Searcher7 on 26 Feb 2010 19:53 I need some project boxes and was hoping to get advice on how to make them. I ruled out metal because small PCBs will be the contents of the boxes and for obvious reasons this will not work. That leaves plastic and wood. Has anyone here ever had to make project boxes? And if some I'd appreciate some pointers. Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York.

Why is that obvious? Tons of people put pcb's into metal boxes. John
