Hi Dan,

In order to house the base variable capacitors mounted on each of my inverted 
"L's" for 160-meters, I use the large red & black plastic "Folgers"-brand 
coffee containers...they've lasted me for some 6+ years here now, & haven't 
failed me yet.

To house the relay / transformer in my two K9AY loops I use large British 
cookie tins.

Use your imagination! I suggest a trip to your local grocery 
store---seriously!. Walk the aisles, & look at the containers that the 
different products come in, for possible "candidates" for your next project. 

It's actually kinda fun!
