Marc..
Found a suitable case for my project, How do you call the type of foam you find in pelican case or camera case ?

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.
Very nice cases
:o
Now that's thinking outside er, uh inside? The box
Very nice
A bit late... but, I've used this foam in tool boxes w/success.
