    Anyone think these would sell? I have made two now, as gifts, and thought about selling them. 6 - 8 hours in labor though.

    One can never have too many light bars.
    Throw it on ebay with a reserve and see how it does. I think it would easily fetch north of $250. People pay for handmade quality stuff like this.

    Bottom drawer looks prime for a glock 17

    Except eBay may take the auction down. Unless of course the OP has a legal agreement with Apple to use their property.

    OP I would stick to selling them locally. I'd say they could get $100 here. Handmade, real wood items are getting rarer and rarer.

    This one also has a matching small clock. I made the clock and box from a piece of English walnut.

    How do the drawers operate on the Mac boxes ? Is there a housed runner on the side or are they just nested into the irregular opening of the case ?

    They're all just wood on wood. I line them with a flocking kit which is kind of like powdered spray in felt.

    Nice work . Are the cases laminated ? Looks like the grain all matches up
