Thread: Roll-top / tambour fountain pen storage box

Very nicely done you should be well pleased.

Nicely done, you identified the pitfalls and came up with good solutions, and you’ll be able to avoid the mistakes/solutions on next one

Very nice I like the idea and might do something like it myself . . . one day!

Would a few button magnets on the back of the drawer front and the front edge of the roll help pull it closed for you??
