Project boxes for cheapskates or: how I became addicted to Altoids

[MaxPower]

Where's the cheapest place to buy enclosures (USA)? I'm thinking of taking a stab at selling a couple of pedals locally.

As for my own pedals, any metal enclosure I can get on the cheap is good enough.

I'm addicted to altoids too! I'd love to see a pedal in one of those.

For cheap and sturdy, there are always those Raco junction boxes: http://www.zoro.com/i/G2606807/?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google_Shopping_Feed&gclid=CImOtaX7qsQCFQuGaQodBwwAsA

I got a few for ~2$ at Menard's. They look pretty punk rock.

Wow, those are great prices.

Haven't built one yet but I'm going to try sticking a BMP or Tubescreamer in a couple of stacked Altoids tins. Place the circuit and battery in the bottom tin and the pots, jacks, and switch in the top tin (and see if I can fit an LED as well).

Wow, those are great prices.

They're nice enclosures, and he ships really fast too. Everything I've ordered from him has been great!  Oddly though, I have never tried the switches.....

+1 on BLMS. Lawrence is quick to ship, prices are great, and he stands behind what he sells.

I've taken to using things I found at the antique mall down the street.

A dual Spyder in a safe deposit box...

You shoulda' made the Seagull box a "Gilmour" Seagull Box.
