Built a Box!

[667]

Just finished putting a box together. I still need to finish sand and seal/paint it. All together the cost was a little under $30, and I have enough plywood left to make a nice jump or two.

Not bad for some back yard, gonzo carpentry. Put it together with 2 drills and a jigsaw.

Nice work but have to ask, how much does it weigh? Might get a good work out schlepping that thing around.

Not real heavy, it's a little less than 1/2 sheet of plywood. More bulky than anything else. I think I'm going to get a set of casters for it too.

Castors would be nice.........

looking good there looks like you could add in a section of shelves to help organize it a bit more and maybe a strap at the top to hold the radio securely, one more thing where's the cup holder?

Put some wheels on the side and extend the handle so it's a pull behind crate... like really rugged looking luggage!

 

[New_Era]

yeah, put some kind of handle so you can roll it!

Don't forget to add the cup-holder! lol

what are you guys thinking?? 8hp briggs, and make it a tryke.....:w00t:

THEN add a cup holder!! :burp:

I would put some sort of durable material to each corner. It can be used to protect the box and can be used as "feet" if you stack it.I see a piece of plexi-glass would be really cool.

I've been keeping an eye out at the goodwill for a really big suitcase with one of those extendable handles and wheels on it. I haven't found one yet, but when I do I will add them on. It needs feet on the corners too. I hadn't thought of a cupholder, but that actually is a good idea- it could double as a fuel bottle holder!

I was actually thinking off a nice cool beverage but hey that works when explaining it to the wife/parental units

Then I'd have to build a bottle opener into the side!
