Altoids are a schill for the drive-by they're in. That's the one to compare to the others on this forum!Altoids tins for the win

Altoid tins are what I used to keep my rubbers in when I was a young dating man in the 1990s. Probably TMI.

Wow, I read that too fast, and my eyes moved words around...
Thought you said ...when I was dating a young man...
Also probably TMI, LOL.

I needed a tin travel case for my vintage razor recently, so I bought a tin of Altoids and dumped the mints into an empty Fisherman’s Friend bag. Should I feel guilty for doing that?
(Side note: What the heck Fisherman’s Friend people!! A bag? Seriously? Sigh… They just don’t make nothing like they used to.)

They make 3d printed inserts for all the parts of specific razors and a spot for a five pack of blades.
They probably have them for 40-50 different models of razors on Etsy.
I have looked at them, but I haven’t bought one yet.

Yeah I’ve seen those! Pretty neat.
The only problem I have with 3D printed stuff is the surface finish typically leaves a lot to be desired.
How fancy do you need for an Altoids tin?

Ok fair point lol. But I mean, it would be harder to pretend I’m a distinguished gentleman using my fancy razor with some chintzy plastic liner in my Altoids tin.

Funny how life happens.. tonight at a structure fire, I found this.
Probably hard to tell, but it was a little side box as pictured and discussed above.
OP
It's probably a good thing the LP tank was turned the other way.

There are several videos that I told my boss about acetone fume smoothing a while back. Sorry, I apparently can't copy links for sh*t but just google searching comes up with several that may interest you. I'm not a 3d printer guy myself, but it's all pretty cool.

I bought one, not sure why but I did anyway. Mastercraft flavor (Canadian Tire brand) in off white. Don't have a bunch of ideas for it use wise but I already want proper slides, a catch to keep the lid up without folding all the way over, and some feet. Undecided if it will get blessed with stickers just yet.

I already have a HF mini toolbox that I keep die grinder attachments in. Not sure what I'm going to put in this one yet.

Gotta admit, pretty smart marketing..
They better get in all the Pro and college sports.

One of my home mini boxes. I still have a black US General that I got for Christmas from GJSS that I have not put anything in yet except a few odds and ins. This one I got from four.cycle a couple Christmas ago. Up top a few of my most used sockets, first drawer time serts and spark plug rethreading stuff and third drawer new sockets that I didn’t need just wanted or had replaced under warranty.

Picked up a Facom Cantilever a while back — the Ferrari/Schumacher edition, made-in-France steel, fold-out trays. Loved the box, but two things bugged me: the trays came bare so everything rattled and stacked on top of each other, and loaded up it's heavy to drag across the garage. Fixed both for under $40 and an afternoon. Figured I'd share since this is the right crowd for it.

This might actually be a great case for foam - when these are loaded up too densely, they're just too damn heavy anyway. So the "foam wastes space" argument doesn't matter.
