Members Windrider30 Posted May 16, 2017 Members Report Posted May 16, 2017 As there are a lot of pics once again I have chosen to use imgur so here is the link. Stole..er umm improved this idea off an idea that my wife had lol. Orginally she wanted a box style purse and I thought hmm that might make an interesting storage box for trading cards such as magic the gathering or any cards really. So figured I would give it a go to build one with an old design, modify it and go from there. This box I had in mind to go along with the smaller deck holders that I have started to make. The great thing is this design is simple enough that I can easily modify it for almost any size! Quote
Members Grey Drakkon Posted May 16, 2017 Members Report Posted May 16, 2017 Oh wow, you went a few steps further than I did! I just took an existing cardboard MTG storage box and covered/stitched leather onto it. Worked out pretty nice since I didn't have to do any real measuring.

Members battlemunky Posted May 16, 2017 Members Report Posted May 16, 2017 I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking about MTG boxes! I took one of the cardboard boxes and used it as a pattern for making them. I also have a pattern in the works for making a beveled corner box and also one of the boxes that you get at pre-release. I'll have to load a pic of my first box. It'll easily hold 3 sleeved up decks, I sew dividers in which is the toughest part. Quote

I was thinking of doing a box with a "false" bottom as well just have to figure out how to go about doing that so that it fits nice and looks like an actual bottom not just a piece of leather tossed over top of something lol. Ah the ideas in my head lol. I may even have to start getting back into MTG again though don't have anyone to play around here that I am aware of lol Quote
Members Windrider30 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Members Report Posted May 16, 2017 Also selling the big box for 95 bucks, thinking of selling the big box and 6 of the smaller deck cards for around 245 which is a 60 dollar savings if you were to buy 6 of the smaller packers (with buckle and strap which I have set for 35 bucks a pop) and the bigger box your looking at 305 plus shipping, might jump it to 250 for the full set but throw in shipping world wide (normal with tracking) for free...still playing with that idea.

I have made bags with a middle divider and gluing one side then the next was always a pain, may have to try that next time!!! Quote

Members battlemunky Posted May 18, 2017 Members Report Posted May 18, 2017 I keep getting an error when I try to post pics. I'll try and get them up when I get it figured out. Quote
