Pupjoint since you're an engineer (pj is an oil & gas term eh?), please draw up the ULTIMATE shoe polish box in Solidworks 3D and let's get it made. I want one.

Teak laundry basket? You're insane!

(I meant that in a nice way of course, please don't flame me. Don't wanna end up being pupjoint roast).
