Paul, what size are you looking for ?  Old boxes for cutlery sets tend to be similar to cigar box proportions, but are often bigger.  It depends what you want to build with it.  You occasionally get very big cigar boxes - I have one that's 670 x 270 x 125 mm but haven't figured out what to do with it yet.

Search for “wooden slide box” on eBay in the camera & photography  category.  Look for one that hold 175 slides (the ones made by Boots are usually a darker wood and are the better ones).  Usual price is around £12 -£15 and come up often so don’t buy a tatty or overpriced one. These are 12” (30cm) long and I have used several for six string builds.  My avatar photo was the first one I used years back and is still in regular use.

Aldi Guitar Hooks?

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking of purchasing a square section of aluminium for that purpose, I will give the level a go.

Decided to de-fret and fill the slots with contracting wood filler. I can play and intend to try some Shane Speel lessons.

Yes David so all the frets are levelled in a few strokes. The level I use is about a foot long

It was the top frets that were the problem. The only thing which worked was raising the nut but that raised the action too much.

Are you using the level as levelling block, along the length of the guitar neck?
