Fortune had it, I stopped in a GameSpot store, and spotted a nice brushed aluminum case made for a hand held video game, and it was only $7.99.  Inside, the case had molded foam to fit the game console, plus a USB 12v power adapter.  Another $2 at the craft store for 2 sheets of 4mm foam, a strait-edge, razor blade, and some zap-a-gap.

Now, I have a bugger barn suitable for Elwood (minus the hand-cuff).

Now, I need to get tying some buggers.

There are several options here, the hooks on the right go in the ear and have an eye. The shafts on the left are about an inch long and also have an eye. For my first attempt, I put the shaft in the vise, with a quarter inch in the vise. The rest of the shaft was about a size 10 hook shank long.

I tied an Adams pattern, with size 10.  Not bad, and pretty inexpensive.
