Precisely. I’m a machinist and a buddy of mine ask if I would be able to create a deck box for him with a nice fit, snug enough that they aren’t bouncing around inside and with a secure top!
To be honest, your best bet is to have him give you his deck. For a couple reasons: 1. If you are machining a deck box, you are going to need several dimensions besides thickness. Also it will allow you to get the thickness dimension that you want. What I mean by that is, since a deck of stacked cards is compressible, you can physically deem what thickness would compress the cards in the case, yet not crush them. 2. The thickness of a single sleeved card will vary depending on the deck sleeves he uses.
Yea maybe not a bad idea as I know he’s a magic player also so maybe I can grab both decks and find a happy medium in size to house both, or even make a spacer to make up space of the decks are that different
