Nice job, the stain makes it look great (sorta old looking)! I made one of these a while ago out of an old wooden cigar box. They are a fun diy project and very useful. If you want to make dividers in the, lowes or homedepot has small piece of wood that work great. I think I used poplar. Did that come with the mirror?

Boredom and cash are dangerous for me LOL Seeing all these projects forum members have done inspired me to do a mini-project, if you will. Bear in mind I'm kind of good with craft type stuff, I'm by no means a skilled wood worker, stainer, etc. So I went driving and ended up stopping at Michaels and Home Depot. $20 later I ended up with the materials to make a small display box for my meager razor collection. It's simple, but for a first attempt, I'm not too disappointed with it.

Here's the box after sanding and reassembly...

Here it is after the staining...

and here is the completed internal view...

Later I will explore embellishing the outside a bit more, plus I want to add additional side hinges to hold the lid open and upright. Well thats it... now off to watch some old black & white serials lol
