There is nothing you can't find on ebay!

Was actually looking for the flat, a bit more rigid type foam like you see on the bottom of those type of cases, a foam that you can cut squares/holes in it.

There's so many types and some very expensive. Anyway found a place that as the stuff, it's called charcoal regular foam, pretty cheap too.

Might use the eggcrate type for the cover

Thanks, Marc..

Try package/packing foam. Many vendors sell both.

wow that box is beautiful. I never thought about using a tool box for a travel case that's a great idea.
