Want a really cheap watch box, that's actually pretty good?

Just need some 19mm wall thickness / 65mm O/D pipe lagging to make the "cushions" and you have a 10 watch box for under £10.00.

I got two boxes today, one will house my burgeoning strap collection

Cool, good tip for the pipe lagging too - cheers.

Should I admit I've been looking for something like this, but actually for teabags ? Or should I keep my mouth shut ?

[andy tims]

The others could.

Search for Lidl & look in kitchen essentials for the tea bag box.

I was being dumb, I needed to click on the continue button.

I was about to say I've had this : http://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic... bookmarked for a while for when I need a watch box.

Then I noticed who started the thread

[Miguel Alvarez]

I know where I'm going after work

Cheers.

Here's & Q&D pic to show just how good they are for the money



Just to advise those that are interested 55mm O/D pipe lagging would be better than 65mm if you can get it - I've just cut down the 65mm stuff I bought.

Where did you get your pipe lagging from?

Great spot - think I'll drop in on the way home this evening. Conviniently B&Q is next door for the pipe lagging!

[Miguel Alvarez]

I'll say it again this is a really good find.

[Laser Sag]

Great idea Andy but would think that the 65mm diameter with the flat surface cut on it would be better for stability?
Just need to find a local lidl now

[andy tims]

I had cut my lagging into a D section - as above - can't shut the lid otherwise.

Very pleased with it - just need seven new additions now!

Thanks again for the heads up

[Miguel Alvarez]

I'm such a thoughtful boyfriend. I bought two and "gave" one to be used as a jewellery box. I also "volunteered" to get her a few more for the rest of her jewellery.
