I was just thinking of doing this, and for the same reason! Nice job!

These are an excellent idea. I did one a few years back. Took me a while to find the thread (under my previous username "Greyharp") as I didn't realise 4 years had passed since I'd made it. Time flies.
It does a great job of protecting my supplements, but I've got so many other digest-sized newer OD&D supplements now that I'm going to have to make another one at some stage.

Very nice on both counts! The use of contact paper I hadn't considered before.
For those of you looking for boxes, go to just about any thrift-store, yard-sale, etc. There's usually shelves full of old puzzles or games that for a buck or less can have the contents tossed to a bin and the box kept and then covered with the contact paper.
I'm fairly certain you've all seen my recycled cigar boxes which are also not too difficult to find. You can see those on my G+ profile. No need to repost here.

I wish 6x9 boxes where easier to find.  Maybe John @ BHP would order up a 50 extra blank empty ones to sell off.

Hooray! I'm not old and yet not so young as to not know of the comedy of Henny Youngman!
As to the boxes, I've already expressed my being impressed on the OD&D Facebook page and my wish that I didn't have "two left hands" when it comes to craft stuffs and things and stuff...with the...with the...stuff...the things...
