Custom Made Pen And Ink Storage Box

I recently finished a substitute for my old shoe box that I used to hold my pens and ink bottles. Here are a few pictures. More pictures are available here.

Thanks for the encouraging words. 

 

Here is a video that describes the box:

I know this is a bit late but that is really impressive. I've been thinking of ideas for ink and pen storage and came across this. At the moment I have 4 pens and 5 bottles of ink, and that will no doubt increase in the near future. I'll watch the other video(s). I don't see myself accomplishing quite that, though I got some good ideas like using the suede with wood dividers underneath for the pen tray.

 

Maybe my wife will be inspired to make me something once she sees this. She is much craftier than I. Thanks for sharing, I'm glad I found this!

Today I attempted doing something like this. The end result was super glue on my fingers and a messy desk.

I feel that's what I would come up with. I showed my wife and, like I said in my previous comment her response was "I could make something like that" I don't know though. She likes this stuff but it is far from a hobby for her. I may just buy a nice box from Michaels or Hobby Lobby and do the lining and dividers myself, and then use what he used for slots to make a pen tray.
