    Crafting Rack Mounted Drawers

    You said that you were okay with a sheet metal? Do you have a sheet metal bender? I remember in shop class we used to make a bunch of custom sheet meal boxes. I would try that or hit up ikea sometime.A tip to keep the wireless transmitters pristine is to put them in old shure microphone bags
