Just finished building a cigar-box case for my Gen-Yo’s and ILYY’s. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! Stained, lacquered and lined with red satin. 🙂 Updated with a couple other collection pics… 🙂 [http://imageshack.us/a/img4/918/1002683p.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/4/1002683p.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img37/5282/1002705q.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/1002705q.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img267/6011/1002704j.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/1002704j.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img818/5688/1002703f.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/1002703f.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img109/2982/1002702u.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/109/1002702u.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img203/8219/1002707c.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/203/1002707c.jpg/) [http://imageshack.us/a/img824/8735/1002552pa.jpg](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/1002552pa.jpg/) ---

Great job, dude! That looks fantastic. And I can’t help but think “A Lannister always pays his debts” when looking at the crest on the box. Yuki ---

Don’t you hate when you have a single empty spot open like that? Just makes you wonder which yoyo will make that empty spot its new home, and how much money will it take it fill it. ;D ---

Outstanding! I love the griffin themed crest. Great job. I made a cigar box case a while back. I will find the necro post and share it. ---

Tomato paste can is perfect for mid-to-fullsized throws. Not snug enough for undersized, but it’ll still make a space for your yoyo if you don’t mind it in there a bit loose. I can vouch for how easily it goes through foam for this purpose! Obviously, when you use the can opener you need to put it on the rim/lip such that it leaves a ragged bare metal edge rather than cutting out the inside of the lid the way most do. Or you can hacksaw it off at the lip I suppose! ---

Another neat tip when using a can is to take a bowl of water and mix in some dish soap. Just dip the sharp end of the can into the little bubble bath each time you’re going to cut a hole, and it keeps the circles nice and clean. :]
