Making A Cardboard Glove Box

If you get this down to where you are satisfied with the results, I'd be interested in at least one and probably 2. I would like a real nice original style for my Tuxedo Park rest and these look like they'd fill the bill.

Nice work so far. Pretty cool that you're doing this.

 

Going to try again tomorrow got some ideas

 

Fits good just sitting in there. Need to play with it some more



Today I made 2 more. Made a template out of some wood

 

As far as the scoring and bending I figured something out. I cut a V groove In a pc of plywood. Laid the bend over it and used a mason chisel to tap a 45 degree score in the bend







Just a matter of bending, glue and clamp. I need to get a long reach stapler that will go thru this stuff









I'm thinking if I sell these to not put any of the screw holes in in case holes are off a bit, just place these in place so you can line up with the dash holes and screw right thru the cardboard. ??



Still trying to get it better lol. I'm anal

 

Nicely done John!

 

I'm interested, but shipping flat assumes everyone has the correct stapler. I would want my ready to install.

 

The biggest pain is finding a stapler that works, after hours online I just went to lowes and bought a cheap electric staple gun that shoots 1/2" staples, then I just bend them on the inside by hand. Works pretty good. Remember staples are just for originality as all the joints are glued





I'm going to make a bunch tomorrow to sell but I would like to give a couple to moderators of this fine site to try and then give me input, but please only if u need one. PM me

 

These look very super duper nice. Well done. Put me in line for 2 (hopefully folded, glued and stapled) when go public. Great job.

 

I'd love to have one to replace a sagger in our jeep. P.O. had a lot of heavy stuff sitting in there for years.
Nice work and Idea with the chisel!

 

Put me down for 1.

 

man those look slick! ive got a steel repop from long ago or i would sign uo for one for sure

 

This. If you go into production I may be interested in one for my Tux.

 

Nicely done! The bends look BETTER than original.

 

I would definitley be interested in one for my Ren II

 

Very low on ambition today but I have 4 made. I will include the clips and stainless screws. I'll post in the classified section soon

 

Anyone have a source for these clips ? I can't find the ones with the tabs to attach to the cardboard

 

its a speed nut or flat nut no clue where to find em with nubs...
