Hey guys im looking for a how to, to carpet my box... Im thinking of a tribal design or flames on the back side of the box... From what I understand its a peice of foam or something that Is glued to the box and the carpet goes over it... Any help would be awesome...

actually, when I get people who want something like that I usually use a thin wood and draw out the pattern and cut it with a jig and router. The reson I use a thin (like 1/4 an inch, 1/2" at most) is that its much sterdyer than any foam is going to be and you can mount it as a separate piece. Anyway, thats my method.

another idea you could use is lacing cord. you know the parachute cord with the smaller cords inside? you can make a design with that and maybe staple it to the box. then you could have a hollow design

Sheets of sound deadener work well too. Easy to cut and they hold up well.

All those ideas are awsome however that lacing cord interests me where can I buy this cord and what exactly is it.

ummm, you can go to a military surplus store, or you can go to http://www.cheaperthandirt.com , and do a search for cord... or, depending on where you live, i might be able to send you some...

the cord itself is just nylon, woven into cords..... it's very strong, that's why they use it for parachutes

I bet you could use cardboard or the thin foam sheets that you use for school projects and then just apply a little resin to them. That would be easy to cut and get just right.
