I love it!

Questions - would you be able to fit more in each if you ran the dents the other way?

Did you just cut foam to fit there?

Overall - excellent

Unfortunately, the box is too narrow to allow me to turn the pens the other way. When I bought the boxes, my plan was to turn the pens the other way, but the width just doesn't work out. As far as the foam goes, I bought sheets of 1" acoustic wedge foam and cut them to size for the bottom, and a piece of .5" foam just sits on top to keep the pens from bouncing into the lid. The seller that I got the boxes from has some bigger boxes, so version 2 will probably be on the way soon! :)

Looks like a fun, useful project. can't find a 'thumbs up' smiley, so have a dead horse. :deadhorse:
