Hey Rodney, I really didn't forget about this - life got in the way. Our roof sprung a leak all over my office wall last Thursday and I've been in panic roofing mode since. We're almost half done, but it's raining today, so I have time to take and post pics.
Let's see how much I can remember about these boxes.
The "cushions" for the machines are just pieces of the 2x2 antifatigue mats you can buy everywhere.
I bought forstner bits for this but I don't recall atm what size I used for the small ones, I can measure though, or check the garage to see which bits have the pretty knocked off them.
I started out with the plastic pieces (you can see one on the smaller box) to secure the machines, but they snap too easily. I had one snap while the machine was in it, luckily I was using the hinges that day, so it just flopped down instead of hitting me.
The larger box is the dimensions of the common case you see some Singers in but more often a clone. It's the same size because I was going to replace a really hammered one that I had here with my 15-91 in it but I ended up selling the 15-91 instead.
The smaller box is a representation of the lemongrass and burgundy Singer boxes.
Originally, I'd thought I'd use these mostly to help service the loose heads, but I realised that when I tilted them back, the case would bite me, so I started leaving the machines loose on my turntable instead.

ETA: Tools used would have been Hammer, el cheapo Black and Decker belt sander, table saw, chop saw (for the machine supports), forstner bits and a drill.
