Somewhat the answer to a challenge to find a use for the old cassette tape holder, it was originally built to dress up an office desk. There was a business card holder attached to it.  At the time it made sense to "contain" it within the crate.  This thing is easily 15 years old.

I like what you've done with the dio.....not crazy about the frame.  You dont need to spend big bucks for a base,  I'm using the tops off a nest of red cedar  tables.   A simple flat base with some wood to dress up the edges, and maybe painted or stained. Nothing wrong with making a frame from an old packing case, But I would have painted it and got rid of the side bits.  It lets down the rest of the good work you've done here.

Some Woodland Scenics, some stuff from the yard and the ornament covered with oil paint
