Hi folks

Thanks for comments, the case was from a hair/beard trimmer or something of the like.

The foam is the pivotal bit I guess if you can get hold of a quality box, it's something called Plastizote (in UK anyway) you can get it in different densities. They use it for all sorts of things: museum storage (it's inert apparently) fly tying holders, fishing floats etc. I doubled the thickness by gluing two layers together with PVA glue, but you can get it 4 inches plus thick.

I cut it just with a scalpel; I closed the lid down on my graver/turbine and cut away at first imprint then did again little by little.

Cheers Mos
