We have tool boxes at work which we use to teach students geology and archeology. Today I began the process of installing safety foam into the draws to protect the artifacts and geologic specimens. I started with our fossil drawer. Working with the foam cutter, I was able to cut out the places for the fossils to sit. This is the first time that I am totally on my own with constructing something like this. I was a bit nervous at first, and was frustrated when at first the cuts I made were not up to the standard I hold myself too. I soon realized I needed to take a deep breath, and do partial cuts with a razor before using the hot wire knife, so I could guide myself. At the end, I was very proud of what I had made, and very excited to make the next drawer.
