I am looking for ideas on how to capture one. I am in a campaign where I would have use for one and I am not sure what would work

Dig a pit. Put a five sided metal box in the pit. Cover pit with organic flooring.

Get Cube's attention - poking it with a ten foot pole is a good one.
Then walk backwards over said organic cover.
When it follows you onto said cover have all your friends surround it and distract it from all directions.
If it starts to move off of the floor have the perdon it is moving away from get closer and the person it is is moving toward run away.
Let it eat the floor and fall in.
Cover with metal grate.
use crane with chain to put on cart
feed it rats via the openings in the grate
name it Bessie
take home

Use synthetic (http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-69/) fabrics (http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-70/).

As an alternative, Teleport Other. Cubes must have a terrible Will Save/Save vs Spells...

What are your assets? (Your brain, Fezik's strength, my steel)

And that's supposed to make me happy? If you only had a wheelbarrow that would be something...

Hmm and here I thought that answer was going to get panned.

It does what it says on the tin.
