    Just spent 3 hours making a playing card box for my in-laws — laser cut stained wood, double thickness with hidden details, lid with the name of their game etched into it as a pattern, the stained over for depth relief rather than contrast - bottom and inside bottom are covered in dark felt and the lid inserts with a plug like thing tha also has a felt rim.

    It might have had a chance at being wonderful had I not about 2 hours ago slightly over-tightened one of the clamps when I was setting the adhesive for the main walls, so now it's ever so slightly pissed.

    Too late, I'm flying in the morning. Another grand waste of time/ overwrought confirmation of failure.

    Also, I've assumed a certain card-size - if their cards are different, it's going to be doubly shit. HAHAHAHA.

    Nnngh.
