Nice box sources. I'll need to take some measurements and order appropriately. Take less time than running around town and trying to find something. Will also bookmark them for future needs.
Amazon also has a decent selection of enclosures.

They're located in Thailand but ship all US orders to a place in Colorado that ships them to you. Orders take usually about a week which isn't bad considering how low their prices are.

While not a actual USPS or UPS delivery, I did receive (5) 22" x 27" x 1" sheets of food grade Teflon, not sure exactly what I'm going to do with them. but Damn It!!, I have them.
I did one of the annual service visits to one of the cheese plants, we service, I found the sheets leaning up against the driver's door of the service van. They use them in some type of cheese press, about twice a month, they are replaced, because of USDA cleaning requirements. They have surface cuts and scratches, making the complete disinfecting process almost impossible. So they replace them with new ones and use the old ones for whatnot around the facility.

If you can find a 24" wood planer that would be the quickest & easiest method to clean them up. When I worked for a uniform company that's what we did with the polyurethane sheets for the cut-out presses.

not really worried about cleaning them up, long term I will probably cut them up into workable pieces, for whatever project, I use them for. The scratches are not serious enough to bother me, just bad enough to annoy the USDA.

That stuff is handy to have around. It makes really good drawer slides. Nice score!

Got a set of number screw machine size drill bits. I had never heard of Viking Drill and Tool before. It ends up they're a Minnesota company that's been around since 1951.

I've never understood why US drill indexes are made back to front? When you open it as shown in the picture, the sizes are on the back.
