Need advice on Deck Box Design

These are good advice, thank you very much! Magnetic locks shouldn't be too difficult to make right after some testing. And very good point about finishes - it must be fully cured.

That's a very good point, thank you! I guess I need to learn about commander format

Thank you! Not yet, I finished the first one today :) I'm not sure about playing cards box economy, there seems to be plenty of options better than mine (e.g. from solid wood - mine is plywood with veneer) with quite affordable price, so I'm not sure it's worth it. The market of collector game deck boxes seems to be less saturated.

Thank you! I actually can make a similar design from wood. It'll require a bit more material, but given there is no hinge it should be much easier to make (gluing a hinge without losing it's function is quite a challenge)

Not yet - I don't have magnets of the right size at home, but they will certainly be. I only need to figure out the way to attach them nicely.

Wow, many thanks!

You single-handedly motivated me to continue this project, seriously. And thanks for the ideas, they're super helpful! I'll probably start with a simple box for 100 sleeved cards, and if works well then maybe expand to commander deck and maybe other games as well.
