My metal box finishing tutorial (with over 38,000 views) has been posted on the front page of the Instructables site as a “featured” project:

Very handsome boxes! I do need some sort of labeling, otherwise I forget what’s in the box! Well, I don’t really forget, but it takes me a second if it’s a pedal I don’t have in my regular rotation. My ideal would be a combination of this type of finish with an easy to apply opaque decal style overlay for type and graphics (i.e. white type / graphics on a darker background).
I used clear decals to add the labeling. I will edit the article to include a couple more photos.
